Recently, Jackson released his second full-length album, “Magic Man 2,” and is set to embark on a world tour starting in October. The “Magic Man 2” tour will include several stops in cities such as Bangkok, Macau, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Tokyo.
Jackson debuted as a member of the seven-member multinational boy band GOT7 in 2014 under JYP Entertainment. In 2021, all members chose not to renew their contracts with the agency and signed with different companies. In 2025, they made a full-group comeback with the EP “Winter Heptagon.” Some of their notable singles include “Just Right,” “Hard Carry,” and “You Calling My Name,” among others.
