Correct, many dont have any idea on KF21 program. I bet it is only me who have insider connection on the program, unlike many fanboys who think they know based on other fanboys comment in FB or YT channel.
We can see on defense hub, I made KF21/IFX thread there (just write KF21 forum on Google) and there are two knowledgeable Korean members on that forum that basically agree on what I said, unlike these 3 Indian members (and many on their forum) who dont have any idea of what is going on the program.

"Program KFX / IFX is a multi - program years , costly, and involve various sectors and foreign partners. For that there must be a definite declaration on it goes. For Indonesia it is important to determine the financing schemes and their human resources planning, "
said Dr Rais Zain, M. Eng , KFX / IFX Configuration Design Leader for Angkasa , in late January.
"In the near future Indonesia will also work on the N219 and R - 80. We do not have enough engineers to work three programs, especially KFX / IFX will take place until the 2020s. The government is expected to call home engineers who are now working abroad to come help the regeneration process. Outside there are approximately 200 people . If half of it can be returned to the country, it is enough to help, " added Rais who is also a lecturer at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering ITB, Bandung.

About propulsion on Aerospace, we are likely going to go electric for next decade, it is countries that has the ability to process nickel that will master the technology, not just making battery pack factory (more likely just doing assembling) where important input is imported from other countries
