It feels so weird seeing an idol talk about dating. Like usually idols will do anything and everything to avoid scandals

Do you know what interview this was?

[@dawalrus]

[@yukataguinod4211]

its so funny that they keep saying "something" yet they thinking the same thing

[@Lulu_Cleo]

This reminds me of Megan Thee Stallion SNL Skit, Girl🤣

[@sarahelvetral3710]

It's because before that they were already talking about dating

[@yalette]

In korea there is a song "some" with Soyou and Junggigo . It has been à korea for years, since oppa can be friendly or for boyfriend, there is always a something 🤣

[@xtianchen7977]

​@@yalettejust fyi, i loved that song years back when i first listened to it 💯

[@deeb.9250]

That "something" just means nothing. He just don't want to say he's alone all the time

[@sarahelvetral3710]

The word he's looking for is "situationship", like you're not in a official relationship but you both like each other and talk, hang out, etc... A fling

[@HelloMello91]

lol idk why as soon as i read situationship i thought of the whole 'entanglement' debacle

[@sarahelvetral3710]

@@HelloMello91 lmaoooo it is what it is 😂

[@tammyb5607]

They use that phrase in korea and other countries, that’s why he said something instead of situasionship.

[@litika7565]

Who's the girl bro? Wow

[@ginatowner0t7]

He is spilling everything without actually spilling anything at the same time😂

[@whenyousmileismiletoo5419]

I really like his mindset. Like youre with that person physically but can’t mentally connect

[@dianegreen1333]

Exactly no emotional connection!!! Lol

[@barbaramitch7818]

Or visa versa

[@ariesvixen853]

They really need to trash the term "idol". Go w artist, performer, singer, dancer.. anything. As he keeps saying, it's his job. Becoming an Idol didn't magically transform him overnight. He's still human. They all are. This "perfect image" the companies are trying so desperately to hold on to isn't fooling anyone.
I'm loving the openness and bluntness, there's no hesitation.. he's been so ready to talk about all this for a long time now. I hope Jackson normalizes it enough to where dating is no longer a foreign alien concept unachievable by idols. Bc fr, it's beyond ridiculous at this point. Poor babies, all of them!! Must be so lonely being an Idol over there 😢😭

[@sanibunny2138]

Agree👍🏻

[@wavydezy]

I wholeheartedly agree

[@riasapui6042]

Ohhh man can't agree more.. It feels so bad to think how suffocatingly they r living their "picture perfect idol" images...

[@anshika2717]

uk what i think like we know the company is at wrong in this case like not allowing to date or trying to maintain "perfect image" but this is bcz of the netizens more bcz i think most of the international fans already give up on the thought of "fantasizing or marrying or even dating" thair idol bcz well uk most of us can't even afford going in concerts n even if we go their is very less chance of us even interacting with them let alome dating any of them
but the netizents are so obsessed over their "idols" that if they even by chance see them interacting with any opposite gender they start to hate them for interacting with "their" idols
so in order to prevent that ig the companies have to make this no dating rule
bcz let's be honest we have seen kdramas n almost all of them show how bad this topic can get n imagine what goes on offscreen if that much is already shown onscreen

[@nothanksbruh]

Yep

[@honeybunny1of23]

I want him married with a beautiful family. He deserves it, he is just so precious and honest.

[@mdorrdar3656]

Oh Jackson deserves the best thing in the world
Hope he find a fixed stable relationship and enjoy it.💚

[@Sy-zn1yt]

Sounds like a Friend With Benefits situation

[@fannyyyyyyyy]

Same thoughts!

[@lola92598]

I was thinking the exact same thing 😂😂😂

[@djinn5658]

I wouldn't be surprised if this person was also famous and they weren't quite sure whether to take it to the next level, begin dating, and possibly be exposed, or just sorta talk and, um, take care of each other. But hearing him talking in interviews lately about being lonely and wanting a wife & family, I think the other person was probably the one that didn't want to escalate their situation and end up in a dating "scandal" (since of course dating is considered a f'ing scandal for some stupid reason in entertainment there)

[@eehyetti]

@@djinn5658 or maybe she is not famous and she is afraid that if she falls for him, he’ll break her heart, because he is rich and famous, very very busy and surrounded with gorgeous women throwing themselves at him. So she is kind of trying to hold herself back and trying to seem cool about it, meanwhile he is not giving his all, he is just having sex with her secretly and calling her once in a while. So it’s obviously not going anywhere. That might also be the scenario 😏

[@RhythmAddictedState]

Or it could be a "are we more than friends?" situation

[@kirakira8628]

I'm always anxious whenever I have relationships in the grey area. We're more than just friends but at the same time we're not partners. It's just not for me.

[@cam0987]

sameee

[@litika7565]

What does grey area means bro?

[@kirakira8628]

@@litika7565 It's when you're not officially in a relationship with someone but you guys hang out, flirt, talk, touch etc. like a couple would. I guess to give an analogy, let's say, friendship is in the white area and a relationship is in the black area. But this type of relationship is neither, so it's in between; in the grey area.

[@soumyashetty8871]

yeah i've been in that situation too. It didn't feel good at all. Very weird.

[@shhhimnothere.2878]

I need to know what we are period. I don't like all that push and pull bs. Either you want to be with me or you don't. Both are valid options, but you can't be both at the same time.

[@MargaLilaandPets]

I can tell he is a deep thinker and very sensitive.

[@mccnbinnie9840]

Jackson been really open about his life recently, it's so refreshing to see I genuinely hope he finds his forever lasting love truly. He's such a beautiful and precious soul

[@sandhyahansda3161]

[@danielaaravelo]

I’m so happy that Jackson can talk about his “relationships” or somethings comfortable if it was any other “idol” or artist all the fans would be rioting 💀

[@kimtaeri13]

I love that he feels free to talk about his relationships because it's perfectly normal

[@sarahelvetral3710]

The fact that he said grey when asked the time length of this relationship is relatable lmao. You don't really know when the friendship turned into flirting and started being a 'some' lol

[@susanmyers5822]

[@bangpinkarmyblink5894]

*That's why I love this guy Jackson so much! He's really one of kpop idols who isn't afraid to say anything & is very straightforward. I don't mean that the idols are bad but they seem to hide things & doesn't show bcuz of some toxic fans & how toxic the kpop industry is. But Jackson Wang is an amazing man & don't give a damn about anyone & express his emotions well. I hope one day this all will be normalized in kpop* 🙏💞

[@lovingmyself4144]

Cause he is a fire sign

[@wonwild1]

I feel so bad for him, it must be hard, I can't imagine. I'm so thankful for meeting my hubby when I did, we were young and lucky, we are over 20 years strong so far :) I know it's possible, my hubby is the absolute best:) He even took me and our 2 little's to a StaryKids Concert in Washington this year, that's how much of an amazing husband he is! Anyone that reads this don't give up hope!
Hope he finds his person soon!

[@kefiraofmasbolle]

I like how he refers to it as something which might be an ode to “썸“ (ssuhm) in Korean which is basically like that awkward crush/talking phase before actually dating

I had a similar situation years ago. It was in the grey bc the guy never talked to me. But when he comes around, it’s like are we together or not, what’s up? Then my stupid self still fell for him. Then later on I found out he was seeing someone else while seeing me at the same time. 😢

[@eehyetti]

I’m guessing Jackson is acting like the guy in your story :)

[@bemsnest]

​@@eehyetti Seems she is the one relating to Jackson's situation. If Jackson is the guy in her story, that wouldn't be good for him. Emotionally stringing someone along is quite a cruel thing to do.

[@eehyetti]

@@bemsnest he didn’t actually string her on, because he never told her they were a thing stealing her time and promising to be faithful. He didn’t even call her. These are the tell tale signs you should move on. I have been in all kinds of relationships, so now if a guy isn’t even taking the time to call me, I’m saying bye. The only cruel thing he did was not being open with her, but believe me many men do that, because they want the benefits. That might be the case with Jackson as well, because it is very difficult for him to commit to a relationship atm. But we can’t be sure of course.

[@bemsnest]

@@eehyetti I was referring to what you said about Lyn nie's story that the guy in her story could be Jackson who "was seeing someone else while seeing me at the same time." If we follow your comment, it would appear that Jackson "was seeing someone else while seeing" another girl who had already fallen for him. IF it were the case, it wouldn't be kind of anyone to string someone else along.

[@eehyetti]

@@bemsnest Girl I don’t get how you have trouble understanding this. I said Jackson might be acting like the guy in op’s story, he is not Jackson obviously, so your sentence makes no sense. Second, unless you are in a committed relationship, the person you’re “seeing” is free to see other people too, so it’s not very surprising when you find out the guy who didn’t tell you you’re a thing or didn’t even bother to call you is seeing others as well. That makes it your own problem to fall for a guy who hasn’t given you any promises. And that isn’t stringing along someone.

Why do you assume it's women fault? Maybe he wasn't interested. Maybe it's sth with his personality/ job etc. He sems to be great person but really we don't know him.

[@sarahelvetral3710]

Don't be quick to judge women. Just as Jackson said later in that same interview, people tend to hype up celebrities too much when it comes to dating, which he hates. He's a normal dude with flaws.

[@djinn5658]

​@@FenRiddle first off-- your profile name is awesome. Second-- you have a point. What we know about Jackson isn't everything. He comes across as honest, sweet, generous, gentlemanly, loving (if the way he treats his fans is anything to go by)... but we've never been his girlfriends. Or pseudo-girlfriend, like he's talking about. Maybe he messed up and didn't prioritize his partners in the past, maybe he tried to prioritize but his and her schedules were too different to even get anything going, maybe he has annoying habits, maybe he gets annoyed easily and bickers a lot in private. Maybe he IS as awesome as he seems but the women weren't good partners. Or maybe they just plain old didn't mesh and decided to just cut their losses. Same problems as us normal folks have when we're trying to date and find "the one." Even people who are great on paper have faults that not everyone can work with. Everyone.
... but hey, I'd be willing to take my chances and give it a shot, Jackson! 🤣
