Exclusive: Jackson Wang on loneliness, Magic Man 2, and why India's on his radar
When Jackson Wang says he's always chasing honesty, he means it. The Hong Kong-born singer-rapper, performer, and entrepreneur has carved his own path in the global music scene, far from the structured world of K-pop stardom he began with. Now, with his new album, 'Magic Man 2', slated for release on July 18 and a potential world tour in the works, Wang is more candid, reflective, and creatively free than ever before. And yes, he wants India to be on that an exclusive conversation with India Today, the 31-year-old opened up about everything from loneliness and self-doubt to his deepening relationship with fans, navigating the industry independently, and what it means to stay true to yourself, even when the world is watching you drown ('High Alone').ON BEING HIS OWN ARMY'Sometimes I miss having a label, a big team. There are pros and cons,' Jackson admitted, reflecting on his status as an independent artiste, and added, 'You're the one writing, directing, monitoring. It's just one person doing everything. And that can be exhausting.' Watch the full interview here: Despite the toll, Jackson remains committed to his vision. For 'Magic Man 2', he isn't just a performer, he's the architect. From conceptualising the visuals to mapping out promotional strategy and release timelines, it's a solo endeavour fuelled entirely by instinct and corporations play it safe. There's stability, but not much room for innovation. With independence, there's risk, but also freedom,' he said, pausing to add with a grin, 'Maybe someday I'll sign with a label again, if they can follow my vision. Or maybe I'll sign with India Today!'HIS MESSAGE FOR FANSAt the heart of Jackson's new music lies a throughline of vulnerability. His recent single 'High Alone' offers a raw look into his psyche. One of the most striking scenes in the video shows Jackson drowning in a water tank, while those around him watch and 'High Alone' music video here: 'Entertainment is entertainment. People come to watch the show, even when you're hurting,' Wang said matter-of-factly. "After it's over, they leave and move on to the next. That's just how the world works,' he further Jackson doesn't say this with bitterness. If anything, his years in the industry have taught him neutrality. 'There's kindness in the world. There's also indifference. It's not good or bad - it just is. You have to be mature enough to accept that. And if you can't, maybe this industry isn't for you,' Wang message to fans has shifted with time too. Once an idol trying to meet expectations, he now encourages people to put themselves first. 'I always tell my audiences to prioritise their own dream. We as artistes are here to bring you joy, sure. But never put us above your own life. Chase your dream first,' Jackson WORKING WITH DILJIT DOSANJHadvertisementOne of the highlights of Jackson's recent releases is 'Buck', a high-energy collaboration with Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh. The track, with its EDM backbone and Punjabi rap flourishes, feels like a global party the video here: 'Three years ago, I watched Diljit perform at Coachella. I told myself I'd love to work with him someday,' Jackson recalled, adding, 'Then, while working on 'Buck', I thought - he'd sound fire on this. I messaged him, and he was like, 'Oh brother, I'll do it.' Two weeks later, I had the vocals.''I'd love to perform it live with him. Hopefully in India,' he his global reach and multiple hats - entrepreneur, idol, fashion muse, soloist, Jackson Wang isn't chasing labels. In fact, he's actively shedding them. 'People call me K-pop, C-pop, J-pop - whatever. Call me popcorn if you want,' he joked, sharing, 'At the end of the day, I'm just me. I'm Jackson Wang.'advertisementHe's equally unbothered by critics or the internet, who might dissect his choices. He stated, 'If you overthink, you can't do anything. Just be honest. Tell your story. If they get it, great. If not, too bad. You can't please everyone.'Jackson's enthusiasm for India isn't performative. It's personal. He's been trying to come to the country for years, and while a planned visit had to be postponed earlier this year, the desire to connect hasn't faded.'If there's any opportunity, I'll be there. Even if it's just three people in the crowd, I'll give it my all,' he mentioned. 'Hopefully after 'Magic Man 2', when I go on tour, India's on the map," he shared.'Magic Man 2' releases on July 18, 2025.

Raj Kundra on participating in The Traitors: It allowed me to reconnect with the public on human terms, not headlines
Raj Kundra Raj Kundra recently appeared on the ongoing reality show The Traitors, in which he was selected as one of the three traitors by host Karan Johar . However, his visible excitement about the role gave him away — leading to his early elimination by the remaining players. Shortly after his exit, we caught up with Raj to understand what made it so difficult to stay composed in that crucial moment. Was it the thrill of the game, the pressure, or something deeper? 'It was definitely a mix of thrill and relief, to be honest,' he shares, adding, 'I've lived under so much scrutiny in real life, where every move is calculated. For once, I was playing a game — no legal stakes, no press waiting outside — just strategy and fun. That unfiltered emotion, that adrenaline? It gave me away. But it also gave people a rare look into the playful, less guarded version of me.' During his time on the show, Raj jokingly said he wouldn't mind switching to a 'khalnaayak' (villain) role — a statement that reflected his intention to toy with public perception. 'Absolutely conscious,' he says about that move. He adds, 'I've been called many names, so I thought — why not own the tag on my terms? But I wasn't there to be a dark, brooding villain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo I wanted to be cheeky, unpredictable, and maybe even oddly likeable. It was my way of saying: I've been judged without people knowing the full story. Now, here's a version of me that's scripted by me.' A conscious attempt at reinvention is what led him to The Traitors. 'I've been behind the scenes for a while — introspecting, healing, recalibrating. The Traitors came at the right time. It allowed me to reconnect with the public on human terms, not headlines,' he explains. Raj, an entrepreneur and the husband of actress Shilpa Shetty, adds, 'It reminded me that I'm more than my past, and hopefully, helped remind others of that too.' Was the show also a way to reintroduce himself to the audience — perhaps to offer an unfiltered version of who he is beyond the headlines? 'It's definitely a way to reconnect, and maybe to reset. I know some people might still be unsure about me, and that's okay. But The Traitors showed a side of me that's strategic, fun, and human. Not perfect and not edited. Just… me. If it confuses some people, so be it. At least it's real. Also, I was a traitor — not a villain. Big difference,' he concludes with a smile.
