China or Japan could colonize the far east if they were given time, I think Korea/Joseon has designs on Yeonhaeju as well.
The Chinese showed little interest in taking over Siberia. For example, the Song were a little too busy with the Khitans and Jurchens, while the Ming were too busy with the Mongols. As for the Japanese, I don't see them trying to get that far in Siberia, though parts along the Pacific may be possible. As for Korea, Joseon had a difficult enough time controlling territory south of the Tumen River, so I don't think it would have much success north of it. Russia really seems like the best candidate to colonize Siberia.
Building off of these, a POD after 1000 would make it almost impossible for either China, Japan, or Korea to take control of the area even remotely close to Siberia. China had enough to worry about Central Asia to even think about Siberia for most of its history, while Japan couldn't even get past Honshu or Korea before 1850. It might have managed to navigate the coastline, but it probably would not have found any reason to found a significant amount of colonies. Although Korea could have somehow seized a small portion of Manchuria during the 12th or 17th century under specific circumstances, it would have never made it to Siberia.
The only possibility that I can think of is a rump Goguryeo that manages to survive in Central Manchuria, which later manages to expand into Siberia and the Pacific as it begins to seek trade routes. However, this would require a POD before 500, and it would require Goguryeo moving its capital several times.
Well, a Balhae that survived and prospered and later became powerful enough to take over what we know as the Russian Far East and further west would only be 'Korea' in a rather loose sense of the word...
The problem is that we know virtually nothing about Balhae except for a few bits and pieces here and there. All we know about its ethnic composition is from the fact that some allied Mohe tribes managed to found the country. However, Goguryeo had about 3.5 million people when it fell, and although some were deported soon after, most of the population remained around the same area when Balhae was founded 30 years later. This means that unless the Mohe tribes and other settlers numbered over 5 million, in addition to the original 3 million, by the time it was founded, or a total population of about 10-15 million when the Liao invaded, it is possible that the "Mohe" that records later referred to were just regional people in the area. This would also mean that the Heishui Mohe that later became the Jurchens could have been a separate ethnic tribe. Of course, nothing is certain, but it is a possibility.
In other words, by the time that Balhae somehow managed to recover from the Liao, and a more expansionist one came into contact with Goryeo or another Korean dynasty, things would be very complicated as both could be considered ethnically and culturally "Korean," along with speaking similar languages.
