During the exclusive interview with the magazine, Jessica started things off by talking about her clothing company, saying, "We are going to release a denim line this season for 'BLANC & ECLARE.' Dealing with denim wasn't easy. I had to think from the point of view of the person wearing it when designing denim jeans." 

She then revealed that she is scared of participating in interviews the most because there are so many misunderstandings that usually follow afterwards. She said, "Honestly, I am scared of doing interviews. Sometimes there would be reports that twist my words around and there are many times when misunderstandings would follow. Even then, I can't explain or clarify things everytime it happens. When I was thinking about the bigger picture, I thought that it would be best to hold my words rather than trying to explain everything." 

Jessica also mentioned her former idol group Girls' Generation during the interview and said that she is a lot more free now that she is independent. She said, "There are a lot of things that changed since I was in Girls' Generation. First, I have freedom. It was good when I was with other members too, but now that I'm promoting alone, I have the freedom to use my time however I want. I think I'm going to attend classes in school so I can learn more about fashion design professionally. I didn't decide on the exact time yet. For now, I'm studying hard alone. Whatever it is, once you've endured something, I think comfort is what follows. Even when I have to endure something hard, as time passes, there are more times that I would be happy than not. 

"If I were still a part of Girls' Generation, I wouldn't be able to participate in a photo shoot like today. Idol group members always have to be happy. Nice, pure, and happy. But I'm already 27 and I can't always be that happy girl." 

The former idol member also firmly stated in public that she is no longer a girl and that she is quite okay with attending the pictorial shooting alone.
