Fans brought up “The Earth Traveler” performance at the 2021 KBS Gayo Daechukje again after witnessing a music festival season without 3rd generation idols.

KPOP fans have enjoyed many impressive performances by 4th generation idols throughout the year-end music festivals season this year. However, many people still expressed their regrets and recalled the special stages of the Gen 3 idols. It is said that the 3rd generation idols’ stages were all legendary, with natural interactions between the most famous idol groups of all time.

Among all the legendary stages of the previous year-end music festivals, fans have pointed out the performance of “The Earth Traveler” – a special stage performed by numerous idol groups of Gen 3 at the 2019 KBS Gayo Daechukje.

*This funny moment of Jin once went viral on all SNS sites. He was smiling brightly but immediately stopped and turned to “serious” mode when the camera caught him onscreen*

*Many fans recalled their memories of KPOP’s 3rd generation golden time while watching this performance*

*They all agreed that those moments were unforgettable*

Some comments:

Seems like this was the last stage that all Gen 3 idols performed together
Gen 4 idols are doing so great, but we have to admit that Gen 3 was a legend
We might never be able to see BTS, TWICE, Seventeen, NU’EST… on the same stage like this again
Namjoon looked like a “president” of KPOP Gen 3 in this performance
Tzuyu is pretty but when she stood next to Irene, I realized Irene is still the best visual of KPOP
Jin is so carefree and funny
There were so many beautiful memories of this time, how can I accept the fact that we’re already in the 4th generation
