Jeong Eunchong imagine being an animal and expressing something inside her. As a child, She was not good at expressing herself. However, as an adult, She learned that expressing herself is important, but she has to be that careful and rather take more responsibility than when she was young. Because of this, She regrets many moments she couldn't express in her childhood, and now she wants to express herself that is not visible through her work.

Currently, the most desired thing in expressing it in a work is not to make the viewer feel uncomfortable. In doing so, She chose the favor that the cute form gives, and focused on the plumpness of human babies or baby animals. It is characterized by short arms and legs, a large head compared to the body, chubby cheeks, and a body.

When she envisions a work, She create a form imagining that she has become it. Like a 'persona', She wears an animal doll mask and do things that she doesn't usually do. When she return to reality and look at it after a brief deviation from her imagination, She becomes aware that 'Oh, she wanted to do this'. And she looks at it as if it wasn't her. The cuteness of a young creature may become a weapon in her expression and want to gain an indulgence for herself. She is looking for a safer way to express herself and to laugh.
