No 3rd gen idol group member had a huge hit with a solo song that reached the level of legendary of :
- Eyes, nose, lips, Ringa linga - Taeyang
- Crooked - GD
- Bubble pop - Hyuna (her whole discography tbh)
- You & I, Don't cry - Park Bom
- Gashina, 24 hours - Sunmi
- Move - Taemin
- Fine, I - Taeyeon
I'm not talking about numbers and success, I'm talking about a song that a random korean person and their mother would know and sing along.
The only other song that has come close yet not reached the level is Solo by Jennie. The other bp members and bts and exo members have released many successful songs but their popularity is limited in the kpop fandom sometimes in their own fandom. Other honorable mentions are Maria by Hwasa and Fiancé by Mino, but they're still very far away from the goal.

How are we in 5th gen and still talking about a 2nd gen group that hasn't been active in years ?

I think it's because Ningning is really popular among non fans, just casual listeners that specifically like her but won't stan.
Also I guess it could be that a lot of MYs like her just after their bias.

A lot of people are mentioning luck and right place, right time, which I agree.
Another factor is that there's no room for another huge group. Imo it's very difficult for a newer group to surpass their big sister group (if they were very successful themselves) from the same company when they're still active.
2ne1 disbanded a little after bp's debut which now gives them space to grow. The same thing happened with Wonder girls.
We also all know SM abandons the older groups for the newer ones, even if they don't disband.
f(x) were obviously successful but they never surpassed snsd, the same thing with itzy. That's why when BM debuted I knew they wouldn't be as big as BP, because BP are still active and breaking records.
The thing about 4th gen is that the companies are focusing on the western market but the 4th gen groups aren't even dominating S. Korea. There isn't one huge group in Korea, just several big groups but no one became as big as Twice or Snsd at their prime to be given the title of the Nation's GG. Same thing with bg, there's no 4th gen bg to even come close to exo, bb or bts.
BTS and BP were already really big in Korea and Asia before entering the western market.

There are surely popular and successful 4th gen bg songs but it would be too soon to call them legendary.

Is this your 1st day in kpop ?
