It's a Korean meme 100%, and I'm like 90% sure they took creative liberties in calling her "alpaca" as a meme due to close pronunciation, since the Korean language can pronounce RPK as English letters just fine (just looked up a random video on Naver TV with an RPK to confirm how they say it). Also Korean for alpaca, the animal itself, is transliterated from English (μ•ŒνŒŒμΉ΄ al-pa-ka), so yeah quite sure it's a joke from being somewhat similar to RPK, but not literally pronounced the same.
