In places like NYC, LA, and the Bay Area, its declining.
I lined up why in post 45 of this thread.
You also need to cite where you see there are more than 100K Koreans in Georgia because I cannot find one source to back that up. The number I can find are all closer to 60K.

I've heard that from a U.S. Senator in Georgia (link)-- but I've also shared a recent news article that confirms that the Georgia Department of Economic Development estimates more than 93k Koreans just in the state of Georgia alone in 2021.

To be clear, you're saying that based on U.S. census Koreans from Korea have stopped immigrating to the U.S. (or Georgia). I'm telling you that the Korean population in Georgia is quite large and growing both through S. Koreans who arrive to work at SK, Hyundai/Kia, etc. and due to Korean Americans who migrate here from other parts of the U.S. These large # of new Korean residents may not be accounted by the census bureau accurately.
I'm still puzzled by your numbers from the census.gov website, as the link you posted previously had data that wasn't recent.
