Serving as CELINE's global ambassador, Daniel artistically expressed a relaxed and elegant style against the backdrop of an art hall stage and audience in this gravure shoot. In an interview alongside the gravure shoot, she said, 'Wearing a T-shirt and overalls, going to watch a movie with friends is the most fun as a teenager,' but added, 'However, the moment I wear CELINE, I feel like a beautiful protagonist from a movie I watched as a child.' She continued, 'During this gravure shoot, I sometimes tried to be a dignified and sophisticated princess, and sometimes a cute and glamorous artist.' Daniel also chats with fans through NewJeans' communication app, Phoning, sometimes for over an hour, as if on the phone. She expressed, 'I am really happy and have fun when talking with Bunnies (the name of the fans), forgetting the passage of time,' and stated, 'Just like anyone, when you are with someone you like, time flies, and you don't get bored at all, wanting to stay in that moment.'
