Jackson Wang responds to fans’ concern over alleged shade at GOT7
Jackson Wang recently addressed a fan’s concerns about his feelings towards GOT7 in an Instagram comment. The fan accused Jackson of treating GOT7 as “a thing of the past” and questioned him about liking a Weibo post that seemingly “shaded” his fellow members. The fan expressed emotional distress over the perceived disrespect, highlighting the impact GOT7 had on their life and urging Jackson to respect group fans.
The controversy stemmed from Jackson's interview with Harper’s BAZAAR China for their August 2024 edition, where he discussed the challenges of forming genuine friendships in the entertainment industry. Jackson mentioned the difficulty in discerning “whether friendships were with the person or their team and fans”, which a fan interpreted as a critique of GOT7’s dynamic.
In response to the Instagram comment, Jackson simply replied, “? What are you saying?” indicating at some confusion or disbelief at the fan’s interpretation of his actions and words. Jackson has frequently referred to GOT7 as “family,” and his response suggests a misinterpretation of his earlier comments.
