Understandably, she was a bit cautious about mentioning Girls' Generation and SM Entertainment�at first. �She started off with, "I'm not sure what to say," but then opened up with her affections for her previous group, stating, "I wouldn't be here without Girls' Generation. �If there were no Girls' Generation, there would be no me. �Also, Girls' Generation would not be here without the company. �It's very precious. �I have no desire to deny who I was at the time."

Regarding the process of her departure, she said, "There was no choice but to make that decision. �Our interests were different. �We had to separate at some time; I just think that my time of departure came first." �In relation to some of the negative viewpoints, Jessica said, "If there's any misunderstanding, I will resolve that at any time. �The truth will go through in the end, and when time passes, I believe [people] would come to recognize [the truth]."

She was also asked about debuting as a solo artist at the same time as Tiffany. �She said, "I heard her music and saw her MV. �It was very cool. �I thought how it expressed greatly what Tiffany wanted to do. �I hope she does well. �As for competition? �Our colors are too different. �We came out at the same time unintentionally, but our music and our individuality are different. �I think there's a fun in seeing our different charms."
