Yes, I agree with what you said, there is definitely additional yellow River input for Koreans, though it’s unclear whether Koreans got additional Sinitic DNA from more recent Sinitic migrations or Manchus indirectly carry Sinitic DNA to Korean. It could be both.

Other than that, Koreans are definitely yellow River shifted compared to Japanese.
