https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/check-out-south-koreas-own-vh-92-presidential-helicopter Exact Defensive Aids are probably going to be classified to hell and back. They definitely include a MAWS (on side pods), a CMDS (triangular lump on the rear fuselage) and 'multiple' DIRCM systems. The three nipples next to the undercarriage legs look more or less like the AN/AAQ-24(V) so I'd say three of those.
Agree, I expect it's probably LAIRCM (or a mod of that). Handled 503.
