Shirley Ju It’s a Wednesday evening at the 88Rising offices in West Hollywood, California, and Jackson Wang just got back from boxing. It’s only his third day in the United States, and Los Angeles is especially sunny amid a spring heat. But the Korean star is not here to soak some rays, he’s very much focused on work — specifically his upcoming appearance at the Coachella music festival as part of 88Rising’s “Head in the Clouds” set.
He’s been prepping and rehearsing nonstop, all the while watching the view count rise — 15 million and counting — for his new single and visual, “Blow.”Wang boasts a massive fanbase — 27.4 million followers on Instagram and 5.4 million on Twitter alone — and he’s sharing with those devotees one the darkest moments in his life: the nervous breakdown that led to “Magic Man,” his soon-to-be-released album. Wang reveals that the project was birthed after constantly feeling the pressure of not doing enough — or being enough — ironic considering, in the eight years since he began doing music, he has yet to take a vacation. Mental health is top of mind for Wang, and the K-Pop star wears his heart on his sleeve when talking about what led to the breakdown, and how he coped, as he details in an interview with Variety.Will this be your first time at Coachella? It is my first time.
It’s once in a lifetime. I’m very honored and at the same time, I’m nervous. … It’s not a negative nervous.
I’m excited.What’s it like working with 88Rising?We’ve been working together more than four or five years. Now it’s totally family. We talk about work, yes, but we talk more about personal stuff.
