In video narrator feels sorry for not explaining how to do it :)

Albeit ime this is something even kids do, not sure why it is "new"?

Edit: I may be referring to the Sidek serve it was based on

From reddit (also not 100% sure):

The sidek serve is an other technique and has been banned for some decades (not 100% sure, but the spinning effect was caused by hitting the feathers first , I think), whereas the new spinning serve resulted from spinning the shuttle with the fingers before hitting the cork.

Yes, the Sidek Serve involves hitting the feathers first. The controversy over the serve was widely publicised in Malaysia (my birth country) at the time, as it was 'invented' by Misbun Sidek.

The Sidek family was a dominant badminton force for Malaysia during that period. [1]
