Future Korean weapons may push surface-combatant size beyond Jeongjo. Combining a strong defensive magazine with launchers for hypersonic or other heavy weapons imposes large volume and stability demands. A smaller hull cannot absorb those demands indefinitely. The forecast therefore points toward a larger ship instead of continual missile growth within the same displacement. The payload requirements drive the platform size.

Hypersonic weapons and large VLS modules push hull size upward
Future Korean missiles may require a ship larger than Jeongjo because long, heavy launch modules impose stability and integration demands on the hull.
