i rather go with the South korean one cause it looks bigger which mean it can cary more and it looks more advanced, however if that is true i dont know.

No juan carlos class will be more attractive as it can serve as amini aircraft carrier which the mistral or dodmo class can't do .

Sure they could, but not without modification. With 32m of extra length over Dokdo and Mistral, Juan Carlos can easily accommodate F-35B.
