The guy is from Vladivostok which is 80% Russian and his name is Vladislav Ivanov (though most yakuts, for example, seem to have stereotypical Russian surnames) so there's a good chance he's like Russian Russian...
Edit: Russian news seem to imply he's Russian Russian.
Judging by the ethics and business practices of those industries and those like them, it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn he's been made up to look more Asian to suit their target audiences
Maybe the guy isn't 100% ethnically Russian but somehow he does look like one of those k-pop dudes. It's uncanny.
There are a lot of Russian ethnic groups it's like being ethnically Chinese it covers quite a large number of ethnic groups

they definitely slapped a lot of makeup and such on him for the show, they probably have a 'standard package' to give people that k-pop look.
