People Discuss Personal Boundaries After Inappropriate Behavior on GOT7 Jackson's Concert
Jackson's fandom Jackies were outraged about a fan on one of the idol's concerts.
Apart from his stages, the "Drive You Home" singer once brought fans to his hotel suite to have a casual dinner, which took place after a concert in London.
However, some interactions can cross the line. Netizens caught wind of numerous viral clips on May 17, featuring Jackson on a serenade with a fan, who appeared to be overly touchy with the artist.

The song Jackson performed was "I Love You 3000," and although wholesome in nature, the segment sparked a heated debate regarding boundaries.
In the video, the fan was shown clinging over Jackson's neck, as well as lifting his inner thigh, and attempting to tuck his hair, which Jackson both foiled. Some audiences found the gesture cute and surprising.

"I wonder what locals think? I was cringing."
Jackson will do this best to be polite around this kind of situation, but you can see that he's uncomfortable."
"He may be open minded but there are still some traditional values (for him) as a Chinese/Asian."
"There are limits."
"That girl is crossing the line, she's so shameful making Jackson uncomfortable."
"If we see the video, JS tried to take her hand off of him when she tried to touch his face. She's disgusting."

No no this isnโt ok. You can be excited but everyone has boundaries and thereโs a limit to how far you take interactions. This isnโt ok at all. Have some common sense

The fan stepped beyond of her boundaries. You can tell that Jackson was uneasy on stage. Nevertheless, he decides to keep running the show. That is professionalism, after all! JACKSON WANG WAS NOT AT FAULT FOR THIS! ๐#MAGICMANinBRAZIL
