Template:Infobox Chinese-language singer and actor

Jackson Wang (traditional Chinese: 王嘉爾; born 28 March 1994) is a Hong Kong rapper, singer, and dancer. He is a member of the South Korean boy group GOT7 under JYP Entertainment, and is known for his appearances on Korean reality television, notably Roommate. Jackson speaks fluent English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Korean.

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Jackson was a sabre fencer for Hong Kong's fencing team. He was ranked eleventh in the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics,[1] and won first place at the Asian Junior and Cadet Fencing Championships in 2011. After passing a music audition, he moved to Seoul, South Korea in July 2011 to pursue a career in K-pop. In January 2014, after over two years of training, Jackson debuted as a member of GOT7 with the single "Girls Girls Girls."

Biography

Early life

Jackson was born in Hong Kong on March 28, 1994. His father, Wang Ruiji, was a member of China's national fencing team and an Asian Games gold medalist. His mother, Sophia Chow, was an Olympic gymnast from Shanghai, China.[2] Under the guidance of his father and other professional coaches, Jackson started his fencing training at the age of ten. He went on to win multiple awards as part of the Hong Kong national fencing team,[3][4] including first place at the Asian Junior and Cadet Fencing Championship in 2011.[1] He attended the American International School Hong Kong.[5]

In December 2010, Jackson auditioned for the South Korean talent agency JYP Entertainment in Kowloon. He was offered a scholarship to Stanford for fencing, but turned it down after passing his auditions. In July 2011, Jackson moved to Seoul, South Korea for his K-pop training. He made an appearance on the reality survival program WIN: Who Is Next two years later, which aired on Mnet on September 6, 2013. The program was a competition between YG Entertainment trainees (who have now debuted as members of Winner and iKON), and JYP trainees. Jackson appeared alongside fellow trainees Mark, Yugyeom, and BamBam, now all members of GOT7.

Debut with GOT7

Jackson made his official debut as a member of GOT7 with the debut single "Girls Girls Girls", released on January 16, 2014, from the group's first EP Got It?.[6]

On April 29, 2016 Got7 held their first concert in Seoul, where Jackson performed his self-composed songs "I Love It" and "WOLO (We Only Live Once)" with his group members Yugyeom and BamBam.[7]

Solo appearances

In 2014, Jackson joined his first variety show, SBS's Roommate, as a member in its second season. Jackson's individual popularity rose after he appeared on the series, and because of it he was eventually awarded the Newcomer Award at the 2014 SBS Entertainment Awards.[8] He subsequently appeared on several other Korean variety shows such as Star King, Law of the Jungle, Happy Together, Radio Star, Problematic Men, Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education, SNL Korea, A Look At Myself, and others. On May 12, 2015, Jackson was appointed as a new MC for SBS's music show Inkigayo, following the departure of ZE:A’s Kwanghee.

In December 2015, Jackson made his Chinese television debut as one of the presenters (alongside He Jiong) on the Chinese version of the show Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,[9] called Go Fridge, which was well received.[10] In March 2016, Jackson was appointed as MC for Fresh Sunday, a show on Hunan TV.[11] Later in 2016, he starred in the show Fighting Man alongside Jam Hsiao, Wang Kai, Jing Boran, Bai Jingting, and Yang Shuo.

In December 2016 Jackson's first solo commercial for Midea was released in China.[12]
