Jessica opens up about not being a good role model for Krystal in 'Marie Claire Taiwan' interview

Jessica shared her career story with 'Marie Claire Taiwan.'

The singer sat down for an interview/photo shoot with the fashion magazine at her hotel room at the 'W Taipei' in Taiwan. Jessica wore a beautiful white Dior ensemble for her first outfit.�

The Chinese to English translations for the quotes were�provided by Merzore.

Passionate for fashion, the singer once mentioned her dreams of entering the fashion industry.�"I started having this dream after being part of the entertainment industry." �Alas, in 2014 she successfully�launched her own clothing line�'Blanc & Eclare.'

She commented on departing Girls' Generation and becoming more independent, " I felt more free and independent, I thought about many things, about how I'm turning 30 soon and it's time to grow up....If I were still a group member, I would not have been able to achieve what I have today."

When asked if she ever felt pressure and had the urge to give up any part of her career, she commented, "I would be lying if I said it hasn't been hard but I've learned to manage better as time goes....I am a very focused person and I pay 100% attention to whenever I am doing something."

She then added, "...I have an on/off switch, I can switch my mindset and psyche around very quickly....I became a singer and started a business because I have a passion for them, so it never crossed my mind to give up either of them."

Jessica then opened up about her younger sister Krystal whom she cares dearly for. �She recalled to her earliest debut days, "I felt so guilty towards her at that time. �Being the elderly sister, I should have shown the strong and reliable side of me...I wasn't a good role model," shedding tears.

She continued, "There are no secrets between us, we're like family...Honestly, it's hard to find someone whom you can trust...in the entertainment industry....Having a sister in the same industry...is a blessing."

Turning 28 this year, it seems Jessica has matured as a multifaceted artist, "I feel like I've grown a fair bit from juggling so many roles. I've gained more wisdom as the years go in life..."
