what are some kpop groups that make songs like I GOT A BOY era GG?

I think this is actually a difficult, complicated question. IGAB was a pretty different song for its time, a time when (girls) Kpop used to be very formulaic and followed certain styles closely, with few songs one would call "experimental" like IGAB (I think even by today's standards it's still pretty off beat). At this point we'd have to go through a whole review of how Kpop evolved since then... almost ten years ago now. To a large extent groups just do things differently nowadays.

Sparing that, if I have to pick a group that most closely followed what ironically became the traditional girl group sound (but also developed and gave its own twist for sure), again if there's even such a thing now, it would be Twice. But there are many possible worthy mentions, even here. Actually Mamamoo is another very nice example, still classic pop music but with their own signature style. Mamamoo's style has always been fundamentally different though, more soulful, jazzier than regular, sugary, girl group pop. Which carries a bit of IGAB. Again this all goes to show that all girl groups since IGAB have changed in essential ways (and of course it wasn't just IGAB that did it, but it's one of the most prominent examples because of GG), all of them carrying something of that spirit, which was very influential if for no other reason than being different, but then nothing is that much like IGAB specifically because by design everyone tries to do their own thing now.
