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.
