On July 28, 2022, the first ship of the South Korean Navy KDX-III Batch 2, DDG-995, King Jung-joo launched the water at Hyundai Heavy Industry's Busan Shipyard. South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife participated in the launch ceremony. Yoon Seok-yeol delivered a speech at the launch ceremony, saying that South Korea is using its technology to build the world's most advanced Aegis ship, and DDG-995, as a national strategic asset, will further enhance the navy's combat capabilities. Encourage soldiers, scientific researchers and workers to continue their efforts to create brilliance together. It is emphasized that 99.7% of South Korea's import and export trade relies on the ocean, and if the dream of a strong naval force is not realized, there will be no way to talk about an economic power.

According to the summary of South Korean military and media reports, the ship signed a construction contract in October 2019, with a keel laid in October 2021, and is expected to be delivered in 2024. There will be 2 sister ships in the future, giving the South Korean Navy 6 Aegis ships. In addition, compared with KDX-III Batch 1 Sejong King class, the performance of KDX-III Batch 2 Zhengzu King class has been greatly improved:

Zhengzu King class is 170 meters long, the ship is 21 meters wide, and the light load displacement is 8,200 tons, 4 meters longer than Sejong King class and 600 tons larger, but the stealth performance has been further strengthened

Zhengzu King class is the first surface combat ship of the South Korean Navy with BMD (ballistic missile defense) capabilities. It is equipped with the latest Aegis system, which can not only detect ballistic missile , but also intercept it.

Zhengzu King-class weaponry is further enriched. The ship can carry rockets to boost torpedo , long-range air defense missiles, anti-missile interceptors, long-range land-to-land missiles and land-to-land ballistic missiles.

Zhengzu King-level comprehensive sonar system was developed by South Korea, equipped with ship-shell sonar and active/passive composite towed sonar, and is equipped with MH-60R. The anti-submarine capability has a significant improvement compared to the Sejong King-level.

Zhengzu Dawang Class uses HED (hybrid electric propulsion), and uses four gas turbines to push at high speed, and two propulsion motors to push at low speed to improve fuel economy.
