The episode opens with a soft morning light filtering into Jade's cozy, minimalist apartment. As the camera pans across the room, viewers get a glimpse of her tastefully decorated space, filled with personal touches-a few framed photos, a stack of books, and some potted plants. The alarm goes off, and after a sleepy stretch, Jade wakes up, her face half-buried in her blanket as she mutters, "Another day!"

She gets out of bed, pulling on a warm cardigan before shuffling into the kitchen. The camera follows her as she quietly prepares breakfast. Jade's sister, Asa, who stayed for the weekend, is still fast asleep. Jade smiles to herself, seeming happy to have her younger sister around for a few days.

"Since she's here, I'll make us a nice breakfast," Jade says, speaking to the camera with a small smile. "Something homey."

In her kitchen, Jade pulls out ingredients for a Japanese breakfast, chatting with the camera as she cooks. She prepares miso soup, tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), and grilled fish, moving smoothly from one dish to the next. Her movements are calm but practiced, showing her love for cooking and her skill in the kitchen.

With the dishes ready, Jade sets the table with two traditional trays, arranging the plates neatly. As if on cue, Asa stumbles into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning!" Jade greets her cheerfully, prompting Asa to smile sleepily as she sits down. The two sisters chat over breakfast, laughing and talking about their plans for the day. Asa thanks her for the meal, and Jade, clearly enjoying her role as an older sister, responds with a playful, "Anything for my little sister."

After breakfast, Jade gathers the dishes and tidies up, her focus shifting to the rest of the apartment. She explains that she enjoys doing small chores-it helps her clear her mind and feel more at ease.

The scene shifts to Jade dusting the living room shelves and organizing some books. She even stops for a moment, flipping through one of her favorite books, a brief smile on her face as she reminisces. "I love this one," she says, showing the camera the cover. "It's a classic."

With a burst of motivation, Jade tackles a pile of laundry next. She gathers the clothes with practiced ease, carrying them to the washer and laughing when she realizes she's mixed in one of Asa's bright-colored hoodies. "Guess I'm doing extra laundry today," she jokes, glancing at her sister, who is now lounging on the sofa, scrolling through her phone.

In between chores, Jade makes tea and shares a moment of downtime with Asa, catching up on each other's lives. They laugh, joke, and tease each other, showing a genuine bond.

Just as she finishes up the last of her chores, Jade remembers she has to prepare for a practice session later that day, and a spark of excitement lights up her face. "The day's just getting started," she says, smiling at the camera as she gathers her things.

After finishing up her chores and relaxing a bit with Asa, Jade glances at the clock and realizes it's time to start getting ready for her practice session at the YG building. She heads to her bedroom, opening her wardrobe to reveal rows of neatly hung outfits, each reflecting her unique style.

"I never know what to wear for practice," she laughs, pulling out a few options. She settles on a casual, comfortable outfit: an oversized hoodie, some track pants, and a beanie. "Something simple," she says, looking at herself in the mirror with a satisfied nod.

Jade takes a moment to check her bag, ensuring she has her essentials-phone, water bottle, notebook, and some snacks she packed earlier in case she needs a pick-me-up. She also grabs her AirPods, tucking them into a pocket with a smile. "I get in the zone with my music," she explains to the camera.

As she finishes up, Jade hears a notification and checks her phone: her manager has arrived. With a quick goodbye to Asa, who waves from the couch, Jade grabs her bag and heads out the door. The camera follows her down the hallway and into the elevator, capturing her quietly humming a tune as she mentally gears up for the day ahead.

When she steps outside, her manager is waiting by the car, giving her a cheerful wave. "Ready for another day of hard work?" he asks, smiling as he opens the car door for her. Jade chuckles, nodding as she climbs into the backseat.

"Always!" she says with a grin, settling into her seat. Once the car starts moving, she looks out the window, the familiar sights of Seoul passing by. "I love this city," she murmurs, almost to herself, as she takes in the view.

Her manager hands her a schedule for the day, and they go over the details as they drive. She has a packed day-practice, meetings, and even a short interview for her solo debut. Despite the long hours ahead, Jade looks genuinely excited, a spark in her eyes.

As the car approaches the YG building, Jade puts her AirPods in and selects a playlist, the soft hum of music filling her ears. "Let's get to work," she says with a determined smile, the YG building coming into view just ahead.

As Jade steps into the YG practice room, the familiar sight brings an immediate sense of focus. Mirrors line the walls, and the space is filled with music equipment and a few scattered water bottles from her previous sessions. She sets her bag down, quickly tying her hair up and stretching to prepare for a few hours of intense practice.

She starts off with some warm-ups, moving to the beat of a song from her album. The choreography is complex and requires precision, and Jade is fully absorbed, moving with intense concentration. After a while, though, the strain starts to show, and she laughs at herself when she messes up a turn.

"Okay, that did not look as cool as I thought it would," she says with a grin, glancing at the camera. She tries again but stumbles over her own foot, nearly falling and bursting into laughter. "Guess I should stretch more," she jokes, her laughter filling the room.

Just then, the door to the practice room swings open, and in walks Lisa, who waves and gives her a bright smile. "Hey, hard at work I see!" Lisa teases, dropping her bag by the wall.

"Lisa!" Jade exclaims, rushing over to greet her friend. "I didn't know you were coming!"

Lisa smirks, leaning against the wall. "Just thought I'd drop by and see if you needed a hand." Jade laughs, rolling her eyes at Lisa's playful tone, but it's clear she's grateful for the support.

After a few minutes of chatting, Lisa watches Jade as she goes through a routine. As Jade finishes, Lisa claps. "Looking great!" she says encouragingly, "but try adding a bit more power in the chorus. It's the main point of the song, so you want it to hit hard!"

Jade nods, taking Lisa's words to heart. "Alright, let's try it again!" She steps back into position, her movements sharper and more intense as she channels the advice. Lisa watches with a smile, nodding in approval.

After running the routine a few more times, Jade calls for a break, grabbing a water bottle and plopping down next to Lisa on the floor. She takes a long drink, catching her breath, while Lisa stretches out beside her.

"So, how are you feeling about everything?" Lisa asks, leaning her head back against the mirror.

Jade sighs, smiling softly. "Excited, but... a bit nervous too. It feels so different doing all this alone."

Lisa nods, giving her a reassuring look. "That's normal. We've all been there. But honestly, you're doing amazing, Jade. You've put so much of yourself into this. And once you're out there, performing your own songs, it's all going to be worth it."

Jade gives a small, grateful smile. "Thanks, Lisa. It means a lot, you being here."

"Anytime," Lisa replies, giving her a playful nudge. "Now, no more breaks! Back to practice!"

With a laugh, Jade springs back up, energized by Lisa's encouragement. As she prepares to go through the choreography again, the camera catches a glimpse of her determination, her movements now even more precise and powerful.

Later in the day, Jade walks into a conference room at YG headquarters, her demeanor now entirely business-focused. Seated around a large table are several members of her management team, including her main manager, a PR representative, and a few marketing specialists. She takes a deep breath, her expression resolute as she prepares to discuss her upcoming solo debut.

"Alright, let's talk about the promotion plan," the PR rep begins, handing out a rough outline to Jade and the rest of the team. "We're thinking teaser images a week before the release, two MV teasers, and some social media posts. Standard stuff, really."

Jade looks down at the paper in front of her, eyebrows knitting together as she reads. Her expression hardens slightly, and she glances up. "With all due respect, I think we can do better than this. It's my solo debut-something I've been working toward for years. I want this to be big."

The team shifts slightly, some nodding while others exchange glances. Her manager clears his throat. "Jade, we know you're passionate, but this is a solid approach. The Blackpink formula works, and we think it will work here, too."

Jade takes a deep breath, holding her ground. "But that's the problem," she replies, her voice calm but firm. "You're treating this the same way as a group release, doing the bare minimum. No offense, but I think Blackpink's promotion could have been handled better, too. I don't want the same for my debut-I want to push harder."

A brief silence fills the room as the team members look at each other. One of the marketing specialists finally speaks up, looking slightly uncomfortable. "We understand, but pushing beyond our typical approach involves more time, resources, and budget. Plus, it can be risky. We have to consider our limits."

Jade's gaze is steady. "I get that, but this album means everything to me. I've worked not only on the vocals and performance but as the main producer and songwriter. I've put my heart into every track. I need to know that we're doing everything possible to give it the visibility it deserves."

The PR rep sighs, trying to be diplomatic. "So, what exactly are you envisioning?"

Jade straightens, a spark of determination lighting up her face. "For starters, I want more pre-release content. Teasers that give fans a real taste of the music and concept, not just five-second snippets. I'd like a mini-documentary or behind-the-scenes series showing the creative process. Let's take fans on the journey."

Her manager raises an eyebrow, slightly surprised at her specificity. "That's... quite a bit more than our usual promotional scope."

"Exactly," Jade says, leaning forward. "I don't want 'usual.' I want countdown live broadcasts, fan meetings, and as many variety show appearances as possible. I want to do surprise performances, even if it's at pop-up events or fan spaces. Let's get creative."

A few members of the team are nodding, but one of them speaks up hesitantly. "Those ideas are great, but there are logistical concerns. And while your passion is inspiring, we do have guidelines we usually follow for a reason."

Jade listens, nodding politely but clearly still unsatisfied. "I'm not asking for perfection. I'm asking for maximum effort, just like the effort I've put into creating this album. This isn't just a project for me. It's my story, and I want to reach people with it. I don't want to release this and have it fade in a week because we didn't push enough."

The room falls quiet as her words sink in. She looks around at her team, hoping they understand the importance of this to her.

Her manager finally speaks up, sensing the intensity of her resolve. "Okay, Jade. We hear you. Let's work on something more extensive, but we'll need to coordinate with external teams and possibly adjust the timeline. We'll try to incorporate more of your ideas where we can."

A flicker of relief crosses Jade's face, though she remains firm. "Thank you. I'm willing to work with you on the details, but please... let's make this debut unforgettable."

The PR rep nods thoughtfully. "Understood, Jade. Let's regroup later this week with a revised plan."

As the meeting wraps up, Jade stands, giving a small but grateful smile to her team. She knows it's a big ask, but she also knows that anything less than her best efforts would feel like a disservice to all she's put into this album. As she walks out, a sense of accomplishment fills her, though there's still plenty of work ahead.

Leaving the meeting room, Jade takes a moment to mentally switch gears before heading to her next stop: vocal practice. She's eager to fine-tune her performance, knowing that every element of her debut has to be perfect.

Her vocal coach is already waiting for her in the studio, a familiar face who has been guiding her since Blackpink's early days. Jade exchanges a warm greeting and sets her things aside, ready to dive in.

"Alright, today I want us to focus on endurance," her coach says, looking at her with a supportive smile. "You're going to be singing live while dancing, so we need to work on building that stamina."

Jade nods eagerly, warming up her voice with some scales. They start by going over a few of the higher notes in her main tracks, Jade's voice filling the room with a controlled power. She's aware that some of these songs are more demanding than what she's used to, but she's determined to deliver her best.

After a few runs of the vocal exercises, her coach shifts the focus to her breathing techniques, guiding her on how to preserve her energy while singing through intense movements. Jade appreciates every piece of advice, knowing that these small adjustments will make a huge difference on stage.

"Remember to stay connected with the emotion," her coach reminds her as they run through one of her verses. "You don't want it to sound too technical; it should feel raw and honest."

Taking those words to heart, Jade closes her eyes and sings a section of the song with added emotion, her voice soft but powerful. Even her coach is momentarily taken aback, nodding in approval as she finishes.

"That was perfect," he says with a proud smile. "You're really bringing your soul into this."

Jade grins, feeling a renewed confidence as she wraps up her vocal session. She thanks her coach, collecting her things and heading out, feeling energized for what comes next. Her next destination is the dance studio, where her backup dancers are already warming up, chatting and stretching as they prepare for a full-out rehearsal.

The energy in the dance studio shifts the moment Jade walks in. Her dancers greet her with enthusiasm, hyping her up as they prepare for the intense session ahead. She laughs, giving them a small bow. "Alright, you all ready to work hard?"

The group nods eagerly, and Jade's choreographer steps forward, giving a quick rundown of today's plan. "We're going to go full-out today, and Jade, I want you to sing live during practice. This will help build your stamina so that you're ready to handle the real thing."

Jade nods, taking her place at the front of the room as the dancers line up behind her. She adjusts her in-ear monitors, giving a thumbs-up to the sound engineer, who starts the music. As the beat drops, Jade launches into her routine, her movements sharp and precise, her voice strong and unwavering as she sings.

With each step, she can feel the burn in her muscles, the challenge of coordinating her singing and dancing pushing her limits. Her breath quickens, but she pushes through, knowing that this intense practice is exactly what she needs to prepare for the stage.

The dancers' energy is contagious; they give it their all, moving in perfect sync with Jade as she belts out the chorus. Every high note, every step-they're all timed perfectly, creating a performance that feels electric even in the small practice room.

However, halfway through the second chorus, Jade misses a beat, laughing as she stumbles slightly. "Alright, I admit, that's harder than it looks!" she jokes, catching her breath as the music pauses. The dancers laugh with her, and a few offer her playful encouragement.

"Come on, Jade, you're the one pushing us! Don't give up now!" one of them teases, and she laughs, shaking her head.

"Alright, alright! Let's go again. No slacking!" she replies with a determined smile, clapping her hands to refocus the group.

They start from the top, and this time, Jade pushes herself even harder, focusing on controlling her breath as she sings. Her movements become more fluid, her voice more stable despite the challenging choreography. The music fills the room as Jade and her dancers move as one, the energy building with every beat.

After several run-throughs, they finally reach the end, all of them breathing heavily as the music fades out. Jade takes a moment to catch her breath, a satisfied smile on her face as she looks at her team.

"That was amazing, everyone!" she says, wiping sweat from her forehead. "Thank you for working so hard."

One of the dancers steps forward, giving her a quick high-five. "You're killing it, Jade. Honestly, the fans are going to go crazy when they see this."

Jade's smile widens, a flicker of excitement lighting up her eyes. She takes a long drink from her water bottle, feeling the exhaustion but also the satisfaction that comes with giving her best. After a few minutes, she takes a seat on the floor, stretching her legs and leaning back against the mirror.

As she relaxes, the door opens, and in walks Lisa, who immediately heads over to Jade with a grin. "Thought I'd come check on you before you pass out!" Lisa jokes, glancing at the team with a nod of appreciation.

Jade laughs, patting the floor next to her. "Come sit! These guys are working me hard today."

Lisa plops down beside her, watching as the dancers gather their things and take a break. "Well, it shows," she says, nodding. "You're looking more and more like a solo artist every day."

Jade's expression softens, clearly grateful. "Thanks, Lisa. I'm just hoping it all pays off."

"It will," Lisa assures her, reaching over to give her a supportive pat on the back. "And remember, enjoy it, too. You've worked so hard for this  moment."

Jade nods, taking those words to heart. After a few minutes of chatting and laughing, the dancers get back into position, and Jade stands up with renewed energy. As the music starts once more, Jade throws herself into the routine, singing with even more passion, her voice strong and steady as she dances.

With Lisa's encouragement and her team's support, Jade knows she's ready to give the performance of a lifetime.

After hours of intense practice and meetings, Jade finally heads back to her apartment, where a comfortable quiet greets her as she steps inside. She kicks off her shoes, sinking into the couch with a relieved sigh. It's been a long day, but she feels accomplished and fulfilled, every part of her body buzzing with both exhaustion and excitement.

As she scrolls through her phone, she catches sight of a few messages from her Blackpink members in their group chat. Lisa's message reads, "Saw you working today-SO proud of you!!" followed by several fire emojis. Jennie has sent a quick, "How'd everything go? Excited to hear all about it!" and Rosé adds, "Keep pushing, Jade! We're all behind you!"

Jade smiles, typing back a quick reply to thank them all. Their support means the world to her, especially as she's about to step out as a solo artist, navigating new challenges. She realizes how lucky she is to have such a supportive team by her side.

Just then, she notices a notification pop up-it's a fan comment on one of her recent posts about her solo debut. She clicks on it, seeing messages of encouragement and anticipation from Blinks worldwide. The love and excitement from her fans give her that extra spark, reminding her of why she's pushing herself so hard.

With a renewed smile, Jade heads to the kitchen to make a simple, late-night snack. As she prepares her meal, she reflects on everything she's been through that day-the tough discussions with management, the demanding vocal and dance practices, and the time spent with her team and Lisa. Each moment feels like another step toward the dream she's built over the years.

Sitting down with her snack, she thinks about the journey ahead. Tomorrow will bring new challenges, but tonight, she's content to take a breath and appreciate the present. This is her moment, and she's ready to own it.

The show cuts to her lying in bed, wrapped up in cozy blankets, scrolling through fan comments one last time before drifting off. The screen fades to black, and a final message appears: "Coming Soon: Jade's Solo Debut - XOXO." The music builds, and a few teaser clips flash across the screen-shots of Jade in the studio, snippets of choreography, and a moment of her laughing with her team, her passion and excitement evident in every frame.

As the credits roll, fans are left with a sense of anticipation, knowing they've just witnessed a glimpse of the hard work Jade has put into her solo project. The episode ends on a high note, a perfect blend of dedication, love, and the promise of something incredible to come.
