(Video) Jackson Wang Reveals His Mother Named Him After King Of Pop Michael Jackson
Most parents tend to choose names for their children that hold meaningful significance, often as a form of prayer or a hopeful wish for their future. In many cases, these aspirations turn into reality, with children growing up to make a meaningful impact in their respective fields. Superstar Jackson Wang (王嘉爾/왕잭슨) is one such example. As it turns out, there's a heartfelt reason why his parents, specifically his mother, chose his name shortly after he was born. Here's the story: GOT7 member Jackson Wang recently appeared on WIRED's YouTube channel to answer some of the web's most searched questions about himself. One of the questions that came up concerned his Chinese name, to which he replied that it is Wang Jiaer, or Wang Ka-yee in Cantonese. However, he clarified that his legal name is indeed Jackson Wang, as stated in his passport. 'I don't go by 3 names. It's just Jackson Wang. My mom named me Jackson because she was a fan of Michael Jackson, and she wished that her kid could sing and dance like him,' he said. That moment from the episode quickly went viral on social media, with fans commenting on how the singer's mother had seemingly manifested his career without even realising it. Some also pointed out how humorous it was that Jackson once had to persuade his parents to let him pursue a career in entertainment rather than becoming an Olympic fencer, a decision that appeared to contradict his mother's original hopes and the very reason she named him Jackson. Others expressed that they, too, would've named their child after the King of Pop, given his legacy in the music industry. Aside from his name, fans learned more about Jackson Wang in the recent WIRED video. Which part of this episode stood out the most for you? Watch the full episode below: Source: YouTube

Yes, Labubu raves are taking over Brooklyn's nightlife scene
Every generation gets the toy craze it deserves, and no toy craze is any weirder than the last. From Pet Rocks to Cabbage Patch dolls to Troll Dolls and Tamagotchis, our collective past is littered with 'I gotta have it or I'll die!' status symbols. And Labubus have definitely taken their place among them. Not only have the plush toys with unsettling wide grins revealing serrated knife-like teeth become an instant grid-worthy addition to Instagram accounts, but they're now beginning to revitalize nightlife. At least at the Brooklyn Monarch in Williamsburg, where raves featuring Labubus as the headliners attract up to 800 people. Labubus have become unavoidable, both on social media and on the subways, where the weirdly adorable little creatures with big eyes, sharp teeth, and full-on gremlin energy seem to be everywhere, most often dangling from purses, keychains, and waistbands. Created by artist Kasing Lung, Labubus are part of the Pop Mart universe, which means mystery boxes, limited editions, and serious collector hype. People line up or endlessly refresh websites, hoping to score a rare one. (How big have Labubus become? A human-sized Labubu recently sold for more than $170,000.) For collectors, the toy is almost secondary to the thrill of the unboxing, the trade culture, and the bragging rights of scoring a super rare variant. At these late-night parties in East Williamsburg (often running from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.), Labubu revelers pack the dance floor for Labubu mystery unboxing giveaways, high-energy DJ sets, and performances by K-pop dance crews. The Labubu raves were founded by Jacketta Collins, who claims to have lost count of how many Labubus she owns. The next event will be held on August 8 at Monarch, featuring an hour-long open bar starting at the top of the event at 11 p.m.; unlike previous events for 18+ crowds, this edition will be for 21+ guests. Every ticket purchased automatically enrolls you in a raffle for an authentic Labubu, which also means automatic bragging rights and at least a casual pic (or three) on Instagram.

Echo Buds for $45 (68 percent off): Amazon's main earbud offering, the Echo Buds are one of our top picks for the best budget wireless earbuds you can get right now.

Echo Show 5 for $60 (33 percent off): This model is one of our favorite smart displays thanks to its compact design, ambient light sensor and sunrise alarm feature, all of which make it an excellent smart alarm clock. Amazon improved the speaker quality on this latest model, which gives sound deeper bass and clearer vocals. Echo Show 8 for $110 (27 percent off): This is our current top pick for the best smart display with Amazon's Alexa thanks in part to its 8-inch touchscreen, 13MP camera that supports auto-framing for better video chats and its built-in Zigbee smart home hub. The 2023 model supports Visual ID, which will show personalized information on the device's display depending on who's using it, and video streaming from Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video and other services.

Fire HD 8 tablet for $55 (45 percent off): This is Amazon's most bare-bones tablet, featuring an eight-inch HD touchscreen, hexa-core processor and 13 hours of battery life. The improvements in the screen quality alone from the old-school Fire 7 tablet make it a better buy for most people, and this slab would make a good couch device for general web browsing, email checking, online shopping and more. Fire Max 11 tablet for $140 (39 percent off): Amazon's most powerful tablet, the Fire Max 11 sports an 11-inch 2,000 x 1,200 touchscreen, an octa-core processor, up to 128GB of storage and 14 hours of battery life.
