    In the interview, she said, "I have a blueprint for NewJeans over the next seven years and even beyond. It feels like breaking through each year. If things go as planned, I’m confident that we will surprise people with every album."

    She described her vision as "a rainbow-colored future," expressing hope that they can reach this goal safely.
