Is Mark Korean-American in the comics as well?

I thought his race/ethnicity was something present in the comics but I’ve been reading through them and have found no mention of it so far

For Danny Phantom, it’s all about Danny’s perspective. While a lot of his tension is centered around basic teenage anxieties, an overarching tension is his parents and their tirade against ghosts. They work as ghost hunters, and with Danny secretly being a ghost himself, he never “comes out” to his parents about who he is as he is worried about what they’ll do to him if they ever find out. And his parents, having no idea what he truly is, continue to talk about ghosts as disgusting creatures, unwittingly becoming their son’s first and most serious enemy. Not the ghosts he fights nor the bullies at school are the ones he fears most, but rather his parents. On top of general themes like his struggling with the perception of masculinity, it’s easy to see how this could be seen in a light mirroring the LGBT teenage experience.

For MLAATR, it’s all about Jenny’s sense of identity. Her mother created her to be a robotic protector of Earth called XJ-9, Jenny insists on living life as a normal teenager, attending school and dealing with average teenage nonsense. A lot of tension comes from her mother’s refusal to fully accept this decision Jenny’s made (even “deadnaming” Jenny throughout the series) and Jenny’s feelings of body dysmorphia, with her at one point even donning a skin suit that had her “pass” as a biological human. All in that frame of mind, if the series were written today, this probably would have been a more intentional decision, but as it stands, the creator more treats it as a happy accident of sorts
