Anyone but SM, they act like they're being "experimental" or taking risks, but they still care too much about being GP-friendly, so I couldn't see them debuting a half black idol
They debuted the only obese guy in K-pop (Shindong) and a androgynous looking tomboy girl idol (Amber) 10+ years ago, if that isn't experimental or taking risks, I don't know what is.
Other big companies haven't done so the past 10 years.
YG almost did, with a half black idol from an idol survival show, but she left YG pretty soon after joining, and YG and she weren't on good terms when she left. So who knows what exactly happened.

SM as a whole still isn't experimental in my opinion
