I was going to stick this in the old F-15K thread but when I read through the last page of that I decided it was better to let sleeping dogs lie 🙂

Seoul to Buy 20 More F-15Ks

(Source: Korean Overseas Information Service; dated May 19, 2006)

The Air Force will purchase 20 more F-15K multi-role aircraft beginning in 2009, following the scheduled introduction of 40 F-15s by 2008, the Defense Ministry said on Thursday (May 18).

The $2 billion plan was approved during a meeting on Wednesday as part of the ministry’s mid-term arms acquisition project between 2007 and 2011, ministry officials said.

Final endorsement of the plan is to be made by President Roh Moo-hyun, they said.
