After the gravure shoot, they honestly conveyed various thoughts in an interview about group activities and personal preferences. Minji expressed affection for the members, saying, 'They have helped me grow a lot and have been a great strength in every moment, being an essential presence in my life, like a big pillar.' Honey, who loves retro sensibilities like film cameras and vinyl records, said, 'Film cameras capture that moment in a photo, allowing you to look back and recall memories later,' and added, 'Choosing a record cover when I want to listen to music is very interesting and feels healing.' Daniel explained about his self-composed song performed at the fan meeting in Tokyo Dome, saying, 'Sometimes, things that cannot be expressed in words can be boldly conveyed through music,' and he wanted to incorporate the warmth and excitement he feels from Bunnies (NewJeans' fans) into the music. He expressed that every moment spent with fans is very important and he hopes it continues forever. NewJeans also mentioned their mindset after experiencing various stages since their debut. Hae-rin said, 'I do my best according to the stage situation at that time. Even if changes occur, I try to respond freely,' while Hae-in shared, 'Looking back, I sometimes regretted not fully enjoying the moment due to unnecessary worries. Since then, the excitement has grown larger than the pressure, and I even find that pressure interesting and something to be grateful for.'
