When asked about having a greater sense of freedom after parting ways with SM Entertainment, Jessica answered, "It depends on how you interpret space and freedom. I'm very busy at the moment from focusing on my brand and my entertainment career, but that's because I choose and want to be. Like anyone else, when you're working for an employer, there are good and bad days. Sometimes, you wish you could just take the day off. The difference for me today is that although I have that luxury to take time off whenever I want, there's more pressure and stress because of my additional responsibilities."

When asked how she has changed since entering the entertainment business, Jessica revealed, "I started training when I was 12. It was interesting and I always viewed it as a fun hobby. It was certainly difficult at times as a young girl, committing to the training, but I tried my best to keep it fun and interesting without putting any pressure on myself. Honestly, when I started, I saw it as a new after-school activity. I had no idea it would turn into what it is today. However, I think I'm still the same old me from when I started � just a more matured version."

And when asked about possibly returning as a solo artist, she answered, "My team and I are working on various different aspects of my career. Announcements are certainly forthcoming. I put a lot of pressure on myself in delivering the best hence I would only want to show my fans the best of my work� when the timing is right."
