The norwegians likely bought this because the K9 is dimensionally quite similar to the M109 (that they've operated until recently), plus, the K9 (particularly baseline K9, not K9A1 or A2 derivatives or upgrade packages), as of 2020, Hanwha (and its former manufacturers Samsung Techwin) had produced 1,700 units. Means they can buy them at a cheaper cost because built at economies of scale.

Ukraine war proved that artillery is still king of the battle. Foreign volunteer fighters in Ukraine are complaining that they never see Russian soldiers just Russian shelling from their artillery killing from far distance. S Korea is equipped with 3000 SP artillery (K9, K55 and K105HT), 5000 105/155mm towed artillery, 6000 60/81/107/120mm mortars and 570 MRL(360 K239, 58 M270 and 156 K136) seating on 12 million rounds (during WW2, total of 11 million rounds were used) enough to deal with Chinese army.
