Since entering the show business in 2014 as part of the popular seven-member K-pop group GOT7, Jackson Wang has made a name for himself for his stage presence and captivating persona, full of witty remarks and ever-ready to inject a dash of humour to any television show or event he appears on. 

Clad in his now-signature black tee and trousers ensemble, the 28-year-old brought his charms to a ticketed meet-and-greet event in Singapore held in collaboration with homegrown skincare brand Skin Inc on Thursday (22 December).

He is a polyglot

ICYDK the Hong Kong-born and raised entertainer speaks five languages: Cantonese, Mandarin, Shanghainese, English and Korean. Now, it seems Jackson is adding Singlish to the roster. At the event, he impressed fans with his understanding of our phrases and terminology such as “cannot lah”.

He loves durians but it doesn't mean he has to “eat it every five minutes”

Jackson also shared that because he previously said he loves eating durians, “every single person” he meets ends up offering him the pungent delicacy. Commenting on the thorny problem (pun fully intended), Jackson added that “it doesn’t mean that I have to eat it every five minutes, you know.” He assured fans that he “loves durian” but he’ll “get it himself” if he is in the mood for it.

He likes Singaporean girls

Another influencer attendee Kelly Tan even shot her shot by asking Jackson if he “likes Singaporean girls” and whether he would invite her and her friends to his Marquee bash. A bewildered Jackson replied saying: “Well, yeah…But I haven’t had a lot of chances to meet any yet.”

The Magic Man also doled out some valuable life advice. Speaking on how we can “find our own magic,” Jackson stressed the importance of following our hearts. “For me, I would rather pick something that I love to do and make a living out of that and take a risk (because) we never know what will happen tomorrow,” he said.
