I think it's manifest that they are. This person doesn't find puns as a linguistic tool to be offensive. Their angle is that the use of a Korean name to address a Korean person with that name makes this pun racist.
If I made a pun about a guy named John is that racist? The only way that could be justified is if you somehow think it's shameful to be named John for some weird racial reason.
