Speech & Pronunciation

The Accent of a YouTuber

Hi. Could you guess the nationality of the YouTuber from this video?

His grammar seems to be OK, but he has a hilarious accent and pronounces, for example, "must" as [must] and systematically replaces [?n] with [un]. It is hardly believable that he is unaware of this, as these rules of pronunciation are among basic. So, is it an accent of a native speaker or some foreign-language influence?

Thanks.
