What kind of Ficus do you think it is ? was created by IIppon

Hello everyone,

I am trying to find a Ficus in Bangkok and as long as Ficus Benjamina are quite common here it seems to be hard to find. I recently found a shop selling this one, if I use Google Translate it shows as a "Korean Ficus" but nothing appears on Google about it instead of pictures and I know that Thai people likes to give uncommon name tho their trees ahah.
Does someone would be able to identify it?
I would like to know how to take care of it

It looks like ficus retusa, but there are hundreds of fig species..

I asked the one local bonsai nursery he said that when they say Korean Ficus in Thailand it is usually Ficus Annulata.
Some even say Chinese banyan.. I think there's lot of confusion, many people sells trees here and sometimes they don't really know exactly what they are selling.
Last time I asked the famous question to a nursery to know if one of their tree was a Crassula ovata or a Portulacaria afra and they told me it is the same, just one is the new name and an other one is the old name ahaha.
Anyway I purchased it and I ll see it looks nice seems to be good to train it as a 名媛直播.
