Commenting on the illustration representing Cassiopeia (TVXQ fandom) and VIPs (BIGBANG fandom), the netizen said, “Cassiopeia and VIPs were the scary ones at the time.”
They continue, “And finally, the 2008 Gayo Daejun (Music Festival) ㅠㅠ The performers were TVXQ, BIGBANG, Super Junior, Wonder Girls, Rain, Lee Hyori, SHINee, Jewelry, BoA, 2PM, and Brown Eyed Girls,” naming some of the artists who performed at the time (poster of the event as featured image).

Other netizens agreed with the original poster as they boasted about the “Golden Era” of K-Pop:
[+315 / -282] Wow, those five groups at that time were no joke, memories ㅠ I think the only group who is still at their peak is BIGBANG..
[+252 / -12] Ahㅠㅠㅠㅠ Does anyone remember BangGirl? BIGBANG and Wonder Girls did collaboration stages and shared waiting rooms during the year-end music festivals, all the fans shipped them ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was a BangGirl fan, oh the memories of my student days…
[+251 / -40] SHINee was so cute because they were just babies, they steadily rose into popularity with ‘Ring Ding Dong’ being their peak but they still stand on top without a downfall.
[+183 / -41] The kids here won’t agreeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ These kids think that EXO is Korea’s legendary idolsㅋㅋㅋ
[+109 / -52] The dislikes are probably all friggin EXO kids ‘My obbas are the best what do you mean 5 top fandoms..’
[+64 / -3] I miss themㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was in elementary school at the time and now I’m in high school..
