Speaking to Dua Lipa on her BBC Sounds Dua Lipa At Your Service podcast, Kim opened up about the pressures of being a K-Pop idol, Variety reported.

Starting my career in Korea as a K-pop artist has restricted so many sides of me, where it wasn't just allowed to be shown because I'm a K-pop idol. And I was scared, I think, also to express myself. And as things grew, over time, I was able to express myself and people would see it as breaking the boundaries rather than 'she's doing something that she's not allowed to do' and being able to open a new chapter for people that are starting in the business in Korea, she said.

She added, That's when I realized I want to break more boundaries for people in my culture to understand that expressing yourself as however you want - here shouldn't be a standard. There shouldn't be a reason to judge and just see it as, 'oh, that's how that person expresses themselves.

Earlier this year, Blackpink lit up Coachella with a set that included Tally. It was an emotional experience for Kim. I was under so much pressure, I think it was my first time crying. Just as soon as I was off stage, I just burst into tears. It was so emotional. I was so proud. And the hard work that we put on and just the overwhelming feeling that we got from the crowd. It was just a lot, Kim said.
