They copied the overall general shape of the F-22, but they seem to have thrown the towel in for the actual stuff that matters, no continuous curves, exposed panel lines etc Watch the video, it has a superficial breakdown of the things you should avoid while designing a stealth fighter.
Things like the fixed bypass doors constant use of circular design elements, standard joints that create massive gaps etc.
Their cope, fueled by a sizeable shilling by VANK employees was to push the narrative of the internal weapon bay coming in later blocks, but it's retarded considering the IWB is just one of the many aspects that would need to be fixed in order for the KF-21 to even be remotely stealth, to the point that it would unironically be cheaper and easier to start over with another clean sheet design.
Issues with this fighter have already made the other co developer nation (malaysia or indonesia IIRC) to basically distance themselves from the whole thing.
Seeing this they've tried pushing the narrative of orders coming from left and right, but in reality outside of worst korea and that other codeveloping country I think they only received "possible future orders" from the flips.
The only issue is them trying to portray it as a 5th gen or a 4.5th gen fighter, while in reality it will be barely on par with an export model F-18/F-16.
The fact that it doesn't even have a DASS is ridicolous, but be ready for the local gookshill to start posting random tweets and powerpoints claiming they are TWO WEEKS! away from implementing everything.
