IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT
Harper's BAZAAR Singapore|September 2023
Jackson Wang, the 29-year-old Hong Kong rapper and singer, has experienced the ups and downs of life, and cherishes the now.
IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT

He believes that when he steps into the next decade of his life and looks back, he will reflect and appreciate the decade that he is riding in. In the meantime, he tells BAZAAR:

"I've no life."

Ironic coming from someone who has been busy running around in the past year, with a packed schedule. Often, it takes a while for him to process which city he is in. Jackson confesses that he has reached a point where he is plagued by feelings of anxiety whenever his staff goes radio silent for a short while, and he would quickly text his colleagues to check if there was anything wrong. He realised he couldn't stop, even for a moment.

Jackson reveals that his entire state of being has been rather low in recent years, what with globetrotting and hopping from hotel to hotel. While he finds happiness in meeting the audience and fans when he is performing, he is also gripped by a sense of emptiness when the performance ends and he returns to his room. "With only my team with me, I would start to think about many things. I would feel quite empty, as if nothing is reliable and that I can only rely on myself."

Without a social life and his family with him, Jackson finds himself turning inwards-his overactive mind, his closest companion.

At 16, Jackson took part in a 2010 audition by South Korean music label JYP Entertainment in Kowloon, and came out tops, out of 2,000 applicants. He became a trainee under the label, and started his two-and-a-half-year-long training in Korea. In 2014, he debuted as a member of the boy band GOT7.
