Jackson for 'Beats by Dre'

While fans were waiting to see what the rapper/singer-songwriter would do next, he dropped the news suddenly on July 2. Founded by none other than rap legend Dr Dre, Beats by Dre is one of the leading companies of audio products under Apple. Joining the likes of Serena Williams, Pharrell Williams and even Kylie Jenner, Jackson has been introduced as the newest face of the brand. The K-pop star launched his brand tie-up by modelling for Beats Studio Buds in a new photoshoot.

Fans were excited as they wondered what else this would entail. With Beats by Dre being known for their fun commercials, they wondered whether Jackson would participate behind the scenes by maybe producing the music or directing the commercial. Jackson’s Team Wang was actually involved in the 30-second teaser announcement of Jackson’s collaboration with Beats by Dre. The idol has definitely proven his worth by participating in almost every element of his last two English singles, from directing to producing.

My man is thriving.” One simply said, “King of Brands.” Another fan tweeted, “That's our king @JacksonWang852 ! way to go baby!”
