And why do you "hate to say" Squid Game's popularity is continuing?

Because as long as a foreign TV dramas whether it's Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, or anything from Europe was able to get mainstream popularity in the US. Then I would have to revive this topic again and again to get toku fans to have a debate about how can we get tokusatsu to get more mainstream in the US in the face of foreign language TV dramas getting a massive fanbase in the US.

As I said previously again and again, we have K-dramas, and C-dramas that is using toku-like special effect. So yes, there should been a crossover between people who watch tokusatsu and people who watch these fantasy/sci-fi special effect heavy TV dramas. I mean as I stated, we've seen anime/manga fans crossing over to K-drama and K-pop, it should've been easy for fans of K-dramas to crossover to tokusatsu if these same K-drama fans are watching special effect heavy dramas.

I don't understand what you mean by that. I mean a long time ago before K-drama and Netflix existed, a lot of toku fans I talked to said that there is no way tokusatsu would be taken seriously (the same thing was said about K-drama and K-pop pre-2010, but now fast forward to today, we were proven wrong). Now, people can watch subtitled stuff on Netflix, Prime Video, etc... And yet tokusatsu can't get the same love or mainstream success like Squid Game, or any foreign-language TV dramas on Netflix are getting.
