Jackson is a visionary artist who always develops himself and continues to move where he can continue to create and innovate without being burdened about what he believes in. And not forget to always share experiences and always encourage the younger generation not to stop dreaming of pursuing their and own standard of living. Jackson is an extraordinary role model ❤

[@Qiqi1745.]

Jackson Wang cannot be underestimated. Jackson is truly a Magic Man.👑✨🔥

[@teamwangcrew1291]

Love to listen to him talking about himself the most. The way he gave an interview in his car, bare face, in his usual plain black tee and beanie says a lot. Jackson is so organic 🖤 #JacksonWang #MAGICMAN2

[@kimqq2808]

Agreed, so true❤

[@ysusiawati]

If I talk about Jackson who is successful and has many talents, his musical works are always surprising, cool, unique and amazing. Jackson is a person who has very good estimates and strong instincts and is very willing to take risks when what he chooses is what he thinks is most appropriate for him. It doesn't stop there, he is also a philanthropist and figure of the younger generation who is intelligent, hardworking, friendly and kind.

[@Bellafrankie]

Jackson omg. Such a pleasure to see him here. His journey from athletics to music/ business is iconic.

[@Jian-pg8tv]

Jackson Wang is not only an impressively talented artist, he is an extraordinary person, he is incredible ♥️

[@viko5229]

Nice to see Jackson in a cool beanie hat and a fun interview. Talking about the figure of Jackson Wang, we can learn a lot from him, apart from being a great artist with contemporary work, he is also a talented young entrepreneur whose far-sighted thinking, with all his life experiences which are full of challenges, has made Jackson an amazing figure, tough and always learning. the things he likes and is passionate about outside of music, Jackson also always motivates many people, especially the younger generation, to continue to develop their talents, achieve their dreams while they are still young, never regret. It's never too late to dream, because everyone's efforts and results are different. Amazing Jackson!❤

Jackson Wang is incredible, he is genuine a thoughtful, hardworking talented artist. Thank you for the interview.

[@leeypg]

Thanks Russell for this insightful interview. The questions posed to Jackson are pretty standard stuff, nothing that I’m not already aware of, but my main takeaway from this is that Jackson has grown more articulate. He projects true confidence in its most sincere and authentic form 👏 happy to witness growth in him ❤

[@tanjibaanjabin5868]

jackson has been always such a big inspirasion in my life since i have got to know this beautiful extremely talented human being. i just adore him so much. Thanks for having jackson on the interview.

He’s come along way and still has so much more to accomplish. 👏

[@orlily7375]

Jackson Wang 👍👍

[@judyma9247]

the most uncreditable Artist ~ JACKSON WANG 👑

[@tangina5172]

He had put in so much effortin Korea, it’s so much sacrifice and hardwork while in China.. As China is more focussed on “ Chinese theme music” he learned n worked so hard to be one of the top performer in China. Not satisfied being accomplished artist in Korea , China .. he moved to international platform as a global artist.
All these achievements materialised cos he is so hardworking, forward looking, creative , astute..
He is one who is creative and doing things differently!
Wishing Jackson best of health at all times and attain many breakthrough and success in his career.
Take good care ❤Aunty Gina

[@bunnee113]

[@anakirola9204]

Jackson is a true genuine human. He has always shone compassion and hard work towards his life and to the people in his life. I have been following him since he debut in Got 7. He always brings a lot of depth and humanity in his discussions with fans and his family, friends, and peers.

[@manasipetkar]

[@Mikeoc90]

Where have you met him?

[@jadew1595]

Superstar of the East. From Kpop group GOT7 to global solo artist to fashion to CEO. Performed Coachella 3x, Century Cup game Manchester united vs Liverpool, LOL world champ, F1 singapore grand prix, etc. Has fashion brand Team Wang Design. RECORD CO, named forbes 30 under 30 china. Has 42+ brands under his belt. Global brand ambassador for LV, Hennessy, Fendi, Armani, Carter, etc. His partnership with NIPG that recently IPO on Nasdaq was shocker for me. As well as his collob with Ciara and Pharrell Williams.
Inspirational human being. Turn down Stanford and Olympics to become an artist. Can't wait to see what his future brings.

Jackson Wang is an inspirational figure. He put his focus on what he loves and took risks towards them. Many ppl who have failed to reach their dreams are afraid of getting out of their comfort zone, and they never take the first step.

[@t_shrky]

Thank you for taking with him! It’s so refreshing to have someone asking more about the business side of things. He’s one of the few celebs I know who does so much outside of his music in excellence, and his music is already excellent on its own.
Excited about the possible pharrel music collab!

[@gigilamchoiying]

Thanks Russell for interviewing Jackson here. As he is a multihyphenate, I'm always curious about his way of thinking, his creating directions etc. , with this clip making me feel delighted for being able to grab an answer to a certain extend. Also, letting us know his sophisticated side is a surprise for sure!
