MC : Marie Claire
JJ : Jessica Jung
(…)
MC: You were scouted when you were shopping, why did you decide to take part in the training program?
JJ: Actually I don't know why I made that decision, maybe it's because I was curious about what kind of person I was outside the classroom. At that time I didn't know this training program would make such a huge change to me, making me who I am today
MC: You started training at the age of 12, was the 7-year training difficult?
JJ: I always took training as my hobby, so (I) always thought training was very interesting. Undeniably, years of training was very difficult, as a young girl, I would try to face trainings with a playful mood, and think of it as a source of fun, that way I won’t increase the stress towards myself.
MC: If you didn't enter the entertainment industry, what would you be doing?
JJ: I believe I would be in the fashion industry, hopefully doing designing work.
Marching towards designing
(…) Jessica: I always thought I will work in careers related to international relations, maybe work related to law. But when I put a huge amount of time on my hobby, like singing and performing, my dream also changed.
MC: After leaving SNSD, will you still work in the entertainment industry, or will you focus on your sunglasses or fashion designing?
JJ: Entertainment industry’s bold flows in my body, fashion too, has become my gene. Now I’m working hard, aiming to properly juggle two different types of job.
MC: You really love designing, do you have plans to study courses related to that?
JJ: No matter successful or not, (I) must strive to improve myself. In fact, all successful professionals have a coach who helps them to develop their business, so no matter what kind of profession, singing, acting, fashion or designing, studying and getting the appropriate guidance and inspiration is the key to success.
MC: You just released you brand of sunglasses, do you have any other plans after that?
JJ: When releasing Blanc & Eclare, I worked towards establishing a fashion brand, products include sunglasses, accessories and perfume.
MC: As a designer, what kind of challenges do you face? What is its difference from singing?
JJ: To me, even though there are a lot of shocking moments in life in life, challenges are not obstacles, instead, I will think of it as a drive/encouragement. I think no matter in the fashion or music industry, in addition to talents, diligence and responsibility also can make a person successful.
MC: Between the two, which one gives you more satisfaction?
JJ: Both give me huge satisfaction, but bringing love to the world is my ultimate satisfaction
MC : Who is your fashion icon? Why do you like her?
JJ: Grace Kelly’s elegant and classic style really interests me, the trend which she lead in the ‘50s is still memorable to this day.
MC: What type of style of dressing do you like?
JJ: I like to use details to make a classic and simple design different, to me, mixing different items is a lot of fun, and it also maintains a feeling of freshness.
MC: Since debut, do you have any unforgettable outfits?
JJ: That time I went on a vacation to Japan with the SNSD members, because it wasn't for work, so there weren't any official schedules. I naturally thought that trip shouldn't have any paparazzi or cameras waiting at the airport, so that day my outfit was like I was just getting out of my bed, I wore sweatpants & old tops that looked like pyjamas, when I showed up at the airport, I realized there were a lot of reporters, because my luggage was already checked in, I couldn't ‘transform’, so I could only helplessly face the cameras. As to why I went out with that outfit, I still have no idea to this day.
Fans give me positive energy
Since entertainment industry is in her blood already, in the future do she have any interest in trying other performing arts, for example acting? Without a doubt she said, “I definitely have interest (in them), because acting is something that I always wanted to pursue, but I will take one step at a time, can’t be too anxious in doing anything.)
MC: Before you step on the stages, what do you think of?
JJ: I always look forward to meeting fans, because I obtain positive energy from them, they are my drive and catalyst when performing.
MC: SNSD is very successful, a lot of girls hope to enter the music industry. Can you give them any suggestion/advices?
JJ: Before entering the music industry, (you) must study hard at school, even if you join a training program, don’t be too nervous, think of training as a hobby, this way you will be more relaxed and happier.
Likes humorous men

About how to balance busy work and life, she said constantly doing good sports can make herself vibrant, she also likes to try different food, and visit different places, not only she can gain inspiration in designing, she can also charge herself up to face future work.
MC; When you’re not working, what do you like to do?
JJ: Apart from needing sleep, I like to eat, I would go to different places in the world to search for different restaurant and delicacies. If you watched the reality show of my sister and I, you would know that we like to eat and try new restaurants. Of course, to offset all the calories, I will work out in gyms.

Making the world different
(…)

MC: What is your most memorable Christmas?
JJ: My most memorable Christmas was when I realized Santa Claus wasn't real, (I) really couldn't take it. When I was small, my mom and I saw Santa Claus taking pictures with children, I was really excited, I asked my mom to let me take pictures with Santa, but when I sat on his lap, and saw that his beard was hung on by a loose string, I felt very sad, on the way home, I kept crying. This is in my memory my saddest Christmas.
