Yenny stated, "I worried a lot whether people would listen to what I have to say today and criticize me. I also wondered a lot what I could say about my story, so a lot of people could relate. In high school, my homeroom teacher heard my dream was to be a singer, and he told me, 'You would be perfect as a hotel elevator girl.' My Korean literature teacher told me, 'The kids like you who said they wanted to become singers ended up serving at night bars.' Now, I trust that I know myself the most, and I'm walking the road that I think is right."

As for why she's promoting under the name HA:TFELT, she commented, "I didn't want people to expect the bright energy they look forward to from Yenny. I wanted to express the darkness and anger I have. Women have ambition too, right? However, I think we have to worry and hesitate more. I think the view society has of women, the expectations, and their ambition all clash."
