This gift surprised people as the cost of putting up an advertisement in Times Square is incredibly expensive. The video advertisement consists of footage from the singer's music videos for "Fly" and "Wonderland" as well as advertisements from Jessica's fashion store, "Blanc & Eclare". The location of the ad is strategic since it's only a few miles away from its flagship store in SoHo.

Golden Stars, an official name of Jessica's fans, weren't the only one giving a present. Jessica also gave a surprise to her fans as a way to celebrate her birthday. She released a new single titled "Because It's Spring" along with its music video on her birthday. She had posted several teaser photos prior to the release with "welcoming spring" as the concept.
