How popular was Jiyeon in the second gen?

she was one of the top it girls alongside with Yoona and Suzy

She was damn huge.

-known as "Little Kim Tae Hee" for having resemblance with Kim Tae Hee

-beaten Suzy and Yoona in beauty polls

-great idol actress even better than other idol actresses (her and Eunjung actually trained for acting before training for singing and dancing)

-also known for being a variety magnet

-also known for her taekwondo skills

-her solo song 1 min 1 sec got 99.9 rating in China

-known for being a quirky and cheerful maknae despite having a RBF

She was so popular that I wanted to curse all those stupid scandals for ruining her potential to become even bigger.

She was on Suzy/Yoona level in 2011/2012 before the scandal hit.

she was my bias and was in my heart for long time

And for 13 years in kpop i never had girl bias except her

(Maybe hyorin a little bit but still jiyeon )

She was up there with the most popular it girls

At a certain point there were very strong rumours about her and Super Junior's Yesung dating. There was lots of couple item "evidence"

I can't forget that dating rumors because in one of IU's concerts, she called Jiyeon while IU is on stage and the ringtone of Jiyeon's phone was Yesung's song. But the rumor was never confirmed.

I remember they had the same phone case and sunglasses and in Jiyeon's birthday he was caught in camera buying accessories from a streets shop and then later Jiyeon was seen wearing the same thing.

Theirs was one of the biggest dating rumours back then.
