Jackson Hints at New Solo Album Release + Reveals Expectation on GOT7's Reunion (2022)
GOT7 has recently returned to the music scene after more than a year with their self-titled EP. And, in light of their comeback, the septet was chosen to grace the cover of W Korea's June 2022 issue.
In GOT7 Jackson's solo interview with W Korea published on Friday (May 27), the K-pop star mentioned his upcoming solo album while talking about his new song "Blow," which he released this past March.
"The song ("Blow") is a single that I recently released," Jackson Wang told the magazine. I'm expecting to release an album this year. The name of it will be 'Magic Man.'" He continued, "'Blow' is a song in it."

As a follow-up question, he was asked what song he listens to most often. The rapper revealed that he listens to GOT7's "NANANA" the most these days.
As the interview went on, W Korea asked GOT7 Jackson, "What is the memorable thing that was discussed among members as you were preparing for the comeback?"
The "Blow" singer candidly replied that he can't recall anything memorable during their preparation but he did expect something when the members got together.
Jackson said, "But we were all leading individual careers as we were moving our independent ways, the way of work and the mood should have developed distinctively for all seven of us."

He went on, "But when we got together in a long time, 'Oh we're just like the old days' [and] 'It feels like the old times,' that was my thought. That's why I love it."
Wang further said that GOT7's reunion feels like a high school or middle school reunion.
Regarding the part that remains the same in GOT7 after all these years, Jackson told W Korea that everything about the group is the same, saying "Nothing has changed."
He added, "When the seven of us get together, it just feels like the old times. It's the same vibe."
GOT7 Jackson's Solo Comeback with "Blow"
Meanwhile, GOT7 member Jackson made his solo comeback on March 31 with his English digital single "Blow," which gives off a 90s hard rock sound. Wang participated in writing the lyrics, composing, and directing the music video for "Blow."
The release of 'Blow' comes shortly after the K-pop idol dropped his English mixtape 'LOST & FOUND' in early March, consisting of eight old songs he had previously recorded but left unreleased.
