Who's more famous in Korea, BIGBANG, BTS, or H.O.T?

I feel like they were the most famous of their respective eras.

HOT, 1TYM and Shinwa ran the 1st gen for the BGs

Bigbang, Block B, TVXQ, and BAP ran the second generation for BGs

BTS, EXO, Monsta X and BTOB have run the 3rd generation.

So, far the 4th gen is being run by all the boy groups that have come since BTS, as they opened up the BG space to more people outside of hardcore K-Pop fans.

Was anyone in H.O.T era?

Me being almost 24, crying in older K-Pop stan I recently found out my auntie loved them and she may be giving me her HOT albums soon
