Looks like the upper stage of the venerable Nike-Hercules surface to air missile mated to a new monolithic solid booster motor. Should have the same performance in surface to surface ballistic role. About 500 km range with the original warhead mass of about 1000 kg with gains in range with a lighter warhead. Really doubt they have terminal guidance with this chimera.

Cho Gwang-rae, the president of KARI, pledged that it would spare no efforts to successfully build rocket engines for the KSLV-ll with domestic technology by December next year and to launch the three-stage, 300-ton rocket into space by 2020.

The KARI said it has successfully established test facilities for a rocket engine. It hopes to build space rockets and launch one by 2020.

booster stage is derivative of one of the Nike Sounding rockets and upper is Nike Derivative. Several variants of Nike family and its sounding rockets were deployed in S. Korea, Japan and other countries in the region. I'm aware of at least two sessions of technology transfer with S. Korea. more may have occurred. known transfers occurred between 1970s and 2000s
