Jackson Wang Reflects on Making History as a Chinese Solo Artist
Wang was very involved in the music video, as he wrote the treatment, prepared props and outfits, and even edited. "I got inspired because, as a kid, I watched a lot of Hong Kong movies and I thought it would be interesting and epic if I can shoot the music video, this love story, in that tone and vibe—90's Hong Kong movies style. I grew up watching that and I admire a lot of actors in that generation as a kid," he recalled.
Before Wang joined GOT7, he was a fencer, earning himself a scholarship to Stanford University. However, he decided to turn it down to pursue a career in music and eventually joined GOT7 in 2014. As a group, they have released four studio albums and 14 EPs, and sold out major arenas in Asia and North America.
—something Wang is extremely proud of. He shared, "As a Chinese myself, as an Asian myself, I'm very proud to see K-Pop or even Asian artists to rise to a moment like this in this generation. I'm very proud and, I think, very happy to see because K-Pop, Asian music industry artists…everyone puts in the time and effort and they try to be perfect at everything and I really admire and I'm still learning that vision.
While Wang can't reveal too much about his upcoming second album, fans can expect it to be something they haven't heard before. He said, "It's like 70 percent done, over 10 songs done already. I can't really spoil it right now, but it's definitely a different vibe from what I used to do. I always try to challenge my previous self with every release. It's going to be something new and I hope everyone likes it.
