Jackson Wang



Jackson Wang, Chinese name Wang Jia er, has grown popular over the years thanks to his amazing good looks, pleasing personality, and top-notch musical ability, making him one of the most bankable Asian artists of his generation.

Besides being a member of the K-pop boy group GOT7, Jackson is also the founder of his own record label Team Wang and the creative director and lead designer for his fashion brand Team Wang Designs.

Before his rise to superstardom, Jackson Wang was a saber fencer for Hong Kong's fencing team. He ranked eleventh in the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics and even won first place at the Asian Junior and Cadet Fencing Championships in 2011.

But because of his passion for his musical endeavors, this Hong Kong native gave all of that up to start his K-pop training that eventually led him to debut in GOT7, together with JAY B, Mark, Jinyoung, Youngjae, Bambam, and Yugyeom.

Following his success as a K-pop idol, Jackson grew to become a force to be reckoned with as he expanded his horizons to make a name for himself in the music industry and all forms of entertainment and fashion both in Korea and around the globe.

While we can go on and on about his many achievements, here are some of the most interesting facts about Jackson Wang and why he is the King of All Trades.
