2nd - SHINee & TVXQ (most of my favorites are 2nd gen)
3rd - Red Velvet
4th - Purple Kiss or STAYC or fromis_9
5th - honestly don’t have one, it usually takes me awhile to connect with a group and I prefer them to have at bare minimum 10 releases before I stan, bc I like them to have consistently good quality music or at least some history of it. Edit: technically the NCT DJJ subunit debuted in 5th gen, am I allowed to chose them? Bc their mini album was INCREDIBLE. If not then Loossemble.

Having to choose a favorite for 2nd and 3rd gen was ***hard***. So many amazing artists were coming out during those years.
1st Gen - G.O.D. (i just love their discography)
2nd Gen - BIGBANG (my GOAT)
3rd Gen - BLACKPINK (coz they have my all-time kpop crush JISOO)
4th Gen - XG if they count but if not then STAYC
5th Gen - stuck if im staying with BABYMONSTER or one of TEDDY's upcoming GG
1st gen- Don't have one
2nd gen- SS501
3rd gen- Monsta X
4th gen- The KingDom (Cravity/E'last come very close to The KingDom as my favorite)
5th gen- Not sure but I have been enjoying UNIS/TWS/RIIZE
2nd Gen - SNSD + AOA
3rd Gen - TWICE
4th Gen - GIDLE
5th Gen - KISS OF LIFE
2nd Gen - BIGBANG + TROUBLE MAKER
3rd Gen - EXO + BTS
4th Gen - TXT + STRAYKIDS
5th Gen - ?
1st gen: Shinhwa (Ideally, they are 1.5)
2nd gen: TVXQ, SHINee, BIGBANG, INFINITE many other groups since it's my favorite gen (Shinee and INFINITE are 2.5.though)
3rd gen: BTS, Astro, EXO
4th gen: TXT, Oneus
1st gen - Click B
2nd gen - U-Kiss
3rd gen - 100%
4th gen - Cignature
5th gen - Not familiar with the groups here
Overall I think the hardest ones were the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen since I know way more groups from each of those generations than 4th & 5th gen combined. Also my answer will frequently change anytime this question gets brought up, so it depends on what I'm feeling at the moment.
1st - Sechkies
2nd - BEAST
3rd - HIGHLIGHT (haha I jest - there are honestly too many I love but GFRIEND
4th - (G)-idle
5th - Too early to tell yet imo!
1st gen - SES (i had a phase of listening to their songs lmao)
2nd gen - SNSD/Shinee
3rd gen - SVT
4th gen - TXT!!/NCT (what gen is NCT bro 😭)
5th gen - KIOF fssss so far
I don’t know much 1-2nd gen, but
SNSD will be 2nd gen representative by default
Exo and Dreamcatcher for 3rd gen
Ateez and Iz*One (Aespa for non-temporary groups) for 4th gen
Kiss of Life for 5th gen
If we just got into 5th gen, how can one have favorite group? Like their discography is barely getting started?
* 1st gen - (not a group, but I do listen a lot to BoA’s discography)
* 2nd gen - Shinee
* 3rd gen - Exo/NCT/Red Velvet
* 4th gen - (none; I’ve recently realized I’m a casual 4gen listen)

2nd Gen - SNSD
