Netizens are continuously reminiscing over the legendary golden years of K-Pop with 2008 the chosen peak as idol groups had released the most memorable tracks back then.
Not only was this the year where artists released hits after hits, but they also gave birth to some of the trendiest dances such as the “Ok dance,” the “finger linking” dance, and more.
On online community board Pann on September 23rd, a netizen gushed over the year of 2008 and published a thread titled “(Why) 2008 Can Never Be Reached.”
Without using text to explain the reason behind their statement, the netizen simply includes screencaps to a past Music Bank weekly K-Chart to get their point across which have been replaced by the track’s music video in order of release by Koreaboo.
