I love Jeongyeon but for some reason her popularity stays the same or even decreases while the other members' popularity has been skyrocketing lately. I'm not even talking about during or after her hiatus, I'm talking about it throughout the years. I noticed this especially after I see the lack of YouTube videos and variety of photos/gifs that pull up when you search her name. And in almost every video you see where it measures the popularity of each Twice member based on numbers, Jeongyeon is almost always at the bottom or 2nd to last in the list. (this is based on how much each member is searched on Google in different countries)
*2020*
*2021*
Jihyo and Chaeyoung especially have really grown in individual fans. Mina has as well with almost everyone talking about her in the comment sections of the TTT videos. You can see their numbers have gone up by their c-bars and their Instagram follower account. Everyone expected Chaeyoung to have less as well but she's the 5th most followed member. I know this isn't a completely accurate representation of each member's popularity (especially because Jeongyeon was on hiatus off and on since October 2020) but it's the best I can do for those who don't follow Twice and pay attention to the fans
Nayeon - 7.8M
Momo - 7.6M
Tzuyu - 7.5M
Sana - 7.1M
Chaeyoung - 6.4M
Jihyo - 6.2M
Mina - 6.2M
Dahyun - 5.9M
Jeongyeon - 5.2M
As you can see, I am someone who follows Twice, I just don't have the guts to post this on the main forum. But this isn't in any way hate, I'm just kind of concerned.
