Jackson Wang Explores Manila's Nightlife, Uplifts Fans Through Music
Jackson Wang's Return to Manila
International pop star Jackson Wang has made a return to the Philippines for his first-ever solo concert, and he has expressed his desire to experience what Manila’s nightlife has to offer. In an interview ahead of his show, Jackson shared that he had only arrived the day before and was still getting used to the city.
“I just got here yesterday, I don’t know how I feel yet,” Jackson said in an interview with Entertainment on Thursday, Oct. 30. “I wish I could feel the nightlife in Manila more, but I don’t know where to go.”
Jackson is known for his charisma both on and off stage. The Hong Kong-born artist mentioned that he finds inspiration in simple, spontaneous moments outside of work.
“Being able to be free and just walk outside without a destination. It’s like going with the flow and seeing where I end up – it could be a bar. I don’t know what this bar is, who you meet, how much you drink, what you eat,” he shared. “Sometimes just letting fate do the work, I enjoy doing that.”
Beyond his energetic performances, Wang hopes to use his music to encourage fans who may be going through difficult times. He shared his personal story about recovering mentally when he was at his lowest point.
“I want to be able to share my story, how I recovered mentally when I was at my lowest point,” he expressed. “I hope that message could help and encourage everyone in their lowest point and darkest days as well.”
When asked about what he has learned from his supporters, the rapper-singer emphasized the importance of honesty and mutual respect between artists and fans.
“Fans love you. They don’t care about your label or your company, they love you,” he said. “So if someone shows you love and support, make sure you return it and show them as much or even more love back.”
A Rising Star
The 31-year-old artist rose to fame as a member of the K-pop group GOT7 before successfully launching his solo career as a singer, rapper, and producer. He has also ventured into other areas of the entertainment industry, including fashion and music production.
Wang is the founder of Team Wang, a record label and fashion brand that reflects his creative vision and independence as an artist. Through this platform, he continues to push boundaries and explore new avenues of expression.
His Manila show on Thursday night marked another milestone in his “MAGIC MAN” tour. Fans were excited to see him perform live and experience his unique style and energy. The event was not just a celebration of his music, but also a tribute to the strong bond he shares with his fans.
Looking Forward

With each performance, he aims to inspire and uplift, reminding everyone that there is always hope and strength within. His dedication to his craft and his fans is evident in every note he sings and every word he speaks.
