Jackson Wang (王嘉爾/왕잭슨), famously known as the witty member of GOT7, celebrated his 31st birthday on last Friday (28th March 2025). To mark the occasion, the global superstar took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message of gratitude and reflection.
In his post, the Hong Kong-born singer and rapper also shared pictures of his parents, expressing deep appreciation for them and acknowledging the opportunity they gave him “to experience earth.” He extended his gratitude to his fans and supporters, crediting them for his success, saying, “I won’t be anything if it wasn’t because of y’all. Thank you for allowing me to be me.”
Known for his introspective and candid nature, Jackson also reflected on the complexities of life and the entertainment industry. He spoke about the challenges of staying afloat in a world where truth is often ignored or deemed unimportant, stating, “Every industry is so complicated & so hard to sustain. Full of things we don’t know about, from no one knowing the truth to no one caring about the truth anymore.”
In celebration of the happy occasion, the Chinese superstar also dropped his new single on his birthday. “GBAD” is the second single off his upcoming album “Magicman 2”, which set for release later this year. In his birthday post, he quoted a line from the song, “I guess that’s when life tells me, we gotta be a d**k sometimes.” With this, he highlighted the reality that, at times, being firm and unapologetic is necessary to navigate life’s challenges.
Many fellow celebrities flooded the comments section with heartfelt birthday wishes, showing their love and admiration for Jackson. Fans also joined in, expressing their appreciation for his music, hard work, and unwavering authenticity. As he steps into another year of his journey, we wish Jackson nothing but success and happiness!
