She then went on to explain why she likes the company so much, saying she feels as though it fits her personality the most among other agencies for a myriad of reasons.

I like [JYP Entertainment] because it’s very down to earth. The CEO and the producer as well. You can feel they really think about the artist when you talk to them. I think that vibe is everywhere throughout the company.
