I agree with this: they were probably talking about Koreasat 2. This GEO
bird was to be colocated with its twin Koreasat 1 at 116 deg East but for
some reason it is now at 113 deg East (after a while at 116 deg East)

Now I guess the "multipurpose" they are talking about is for the direct TV
and telecommunication  beams of the bird.
