It is labeled to be Korean, but when I search "Kuksi" its mostly Uzbek people making it.
Does this meal even exist in Korean Peninsula? Or is it just a Soviet thing?

A lot of Koreans living in Sakhalin (and around that area in general) were forcibly relocated throughout central Asia by Stalin.
국시 is absolutely a thing in Korea. 국시 or kukshi is one of the dialect terms for noodles ( 국수 or kuksu).

As my memory serves right, “kuksi” is an adapted version of guksu which is originally obviously from Korea. It’s been developed during the USSR by Koreans who had to live out of Korea, so they tried to make their native dishes out of products that were available then. Nowadays I doubt that any native Korean could recognise this soup as the ingredient are very different from what Koreans usually eat. And yes, in Uzbekistan there’s been a Korean diaspora. As well as in other Asian regions of USSR.
