Stealth is a trade off on performance and price. Then there is the factor as to how much stealth does a country need when the main targets are only about 200 miles away (Chinese border from Seoul in the West), the terrain is mountainous and the attacker has electronic jamming and deception available? This would seem to be either a negotiating maneuver or the generals wanting more sophisticated toys than needed.

Give 'em the F35 and tell them to play with the big dogs if they are going to bark like one
So who are the competitors? Could that be Sukhoi?
Just the French fighter Rafale from Dassault!

Unless there is ILS Wayne a lot of them get their panties in a bunch. That simple.
