The Witty Images of GOT7's Jackson Wang

Lately SBS PopAsia channel has run its voting polls where which celebrity would the girls want for a boyfriend on Valentine's Day? Rookie group GOT7's member Jackson Wang has taken the 2nd spot for the poll. Due to his popularity in Roommate Season 2, Jackson's straight, blunt and witty character has won many girls' hearts.

Jackson- born on 28th March 1994 to a pair of rich Hong Kong parents. His father is a fencing coach and mother is an ex-gold medalist gymnast. He comes from a family of atheletics and his elder brother is currently living in Australia. It is been known that Jackson's house in Hong Kong has 4 storeys with an indoor jacuzzi. In reality Hong Kong's properties are super expensive and to be able to stay in landed house with so many storeys, he is definitely a rich kid. 

Originally he was trained in fencing but he decided to pursue his dreams to become a singer. Since young Jackson was educated in American International School in Hong Kong- he is fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. When JYP Ent. scounted Jackson after seeing his photo in the school board, it was a tough decision as his parents were totally against the idea. Eventually in 2011, he trained hard under JYP along with members Bam Bam, Mark and Yugeom so they were all now in the boy band GOT7. He is the rapper of the group. 




In 2014, Jackson was casted as a fixed permanent member in SBS Roommate Season 2 variety program. At first he auditioned for Season 1 but failed to get a spot. However hard work pays oof where now he is roomie with the uprising actor Seo Kang Jun who is a year older than him. Often he is seen hanging out most with G.O.D's rapper Joon Hyung and KARA's newest member Young Ji. Since he isn't a native Korean, he often gets tongue twisted his language and his honest straight forward behaviour has earned him recognition and tons of fans. He even won the SBS Best Newcomer Award. Good for him! 

 

Jackson has also appeared in several shows on TV such as Happy Together, Hello Foreigner, Star King, Radio Star, Vitamin, Weekly Idol and lately Dating Alone. What the fans find him most memorable is his non stop bickering with same age Young Ji in Roommate. She often teases him and says he's short where he gets pissed off. In one episode when he plays along with her in acting skills against Jo Se Ho, it cracks everyone up when Jackson persistently mentions 'She is my wife' and the entire cast burst into laughter. 
During a Christmas special episode, JYP specially brought in his parents from Hong Kong to surprise Jackson. The tears and laughters brought all of them together again. Again Se Ho pointed out Young Ji is Jackson's Korean girlfriend. Ha ha! 

Veteran actress Bae Jong Ok points out he is often seen wearing a cap/hat hiding his hair and features. She thought he wanted to cover up some complex or ugly parts when he is actually a handsome fella without a cap.

Aww...Jackson...what are we going to do with you? Let's put him inside a pocket and carry him around as he's adorable... we wish him the very best in his future career! Good Luck!
