Hong Kong-born superstar Jackson Wang (왕잭슨/王嘉尔) is well-known for his funny and meme-worthy expressions. However, his reaction to an unexpected incident had netizens and fans buzzing.
Over the weekend, Jackson performed at Impact Arena in Bangkok, kicking off his “MAGIC MAN 2” world tour. During a segment of the show, a group of fans were invited onto the stage, prompting some viral moments. One of the people who joined the singer on stage was a man who appeared shirtless, showing his arm and chest tattoos. At one point, Jackson stood next to the man, seemingly shocked by his taller build and body art.
However, it was another interaction between Jackson and the male fan that went viral. In the clip shared online, the fan was approaching the singer before suddenly kissing him on the cheek. Jackson’s expression changed, clearly shocked by the unexpected peck. Likely in an act of embarrassment, the 31-year-old lifted his shirt and used it to cover his face. As he uncovered his face, Jackson appeared with a dumbfounded look.
The interaction between Jackson and the male fan prompted mixed reactions from fans. Many were amused by the moment, laughing at Jackson’s expressions. Some also quipped at his embarrassment, saying he created another meme out of himself. However, some fans were unhappy with the male fan’s actions, calling it blatant harassment. Others also argued that Jackson was likely uncomfortable with the kiss.
Team Wang has yet to address the issue, so it’s unknown how Jackson truly felt about the incident. It’s also unclear whether the star will continue inviting fans onto the stage for the rest of the tour. Nevertheless, fans are calling for his staff and the concert organisers to tighten safety at his upcoming shows. Others also reiterated the importance of maintaining boundaries and respecting artists, especially when allowed to interact with them up close.
Besides Jackson, actor Ji Changwook was also kissed by a fan during his trip to Paris, which sparked major criticism. We hope fans of all genders will learn to be more respectful of celebrities and maintain boundaries. Watch the viral clips of Jackson and the fan below:
