Jackson Wang achieved international stardom as a member of GOT7, a South Korean boy band that has been an integral part of K-Pop’s rise in popularity in recent years. But an artist of Wang’s ambition eventually needs to branch out, which the Hong Kong native did in 2017 when he established Team Wang, a company that would function as the cornerstone to his budding creative empire. In the years since, the 26-year-old performer has released his solo album Mirrors, launched a record label and started a fashion brand, all while maintaining total control over his career. Evidence of Wang’s all-encompassing vision can be found in his latest single, “LMLY” (which stands for “Leave Me Loving You”) for which he wrote and co-directed the music video. Here, he answers some questions from the writings of Warhol.
ANDY WARHOL: What did you eat for breakfast?
JACKSON WANG: Eggs, sweet potatoes, vegetables, pumpkin, and broccoli. Lots of protein.

WARHOL: Do you play an instrument?
WANG: Not really. I play a little piano for producing, but I’m not a pro. Just chords.
WARHOL: Do you dream?
WANG: Sometimes. Every time I do dream, it’s always some kind of action film.

WARHOL: How many hotels have you been kicked out of?
WANG: Why be kicked out of a hotel? Did I do something wrong?
WARHOL: What’s the craziest thing a fan has ever sent you?
WANG: Everything my fans send me is so crazily perfect. It doesn’t have to be an object as a gift. Them listening to my music and loving and supporting me already means the most to me.

WANG: What I’m doing now, as an artist and as a founder of companies. And creating the best environment for future generations.
