Team Wang tells Jackson he won't sell out a Thai concert, GOT7 fans furious: 'Fire them'

Fans had crowded the Bangkok airport and gone to the 'Bangkok Century Cup' match only for Jackson's performance

Days after the Internet dubbed the ‘The Match: Bangkok Century Cup 2022’ as the Asian Super Bowl thanks to GOT7’s Jackson Wang and his show-stopping performance, we had fans asking if he would be having a solo concert in Thailand. The K-pop idol appeared as a guest on the Thai radio show Met107 Live on July 20. In the show that has now gone viral, the host asked, “Can we expect a full-on P’Jack’s concert in Thailand?” Jackson was surprised, “Me? In Thailand? I wish I can do but I don’t think anyone will wanna come.” The host first thought he was joking, “No! Why are you too humble?”

It seems that the GOT7 star was told by his label Team Wang that he would not have a successful Thai solo concert. Jackson shared, “No, really. Because this is what my team is telling me. You want me to be honest?...They just think Jackson…a lot of people might not come to watch your show and maybe the agency or even the promoter might not want to accept it this is not business for them…so, I’m like maybe it’s true…” Fans are furious that his own label is underestimating him and are sending support by pointing out the insanely large crowd that he had singlehandedly pulled all the way from the airport to the Bangkok match.

Jackson worries about having a Thai concert

We have had actual Thai celebrities and actors from Zee Pruk and Bright Vachirawit to Bible Summettikul and Mew Suppasit being fans of Jackson. Joong Archen became a fansite for Jackson during the Bangkok match while PP Krit had been gifted a Jackson standee at his graduation ceremony. Fans had been amused when insiders had claimed the huge K-pop label JYPE had lost the Thai market after GOT7 terminated their contracts with them. With GOT7 having one of the largest Thai fanbases among all of K-pop and fans loving each of the members equally, many were surprised by Team Wang’s refusal.

With members Mark and Bambam recently having successful Thai concerts while Youngjae and Yugyeom are set to have one in August, fans have been hoping that the group can resolve Jackson’s misgivings about his popularity. In fact, Bambam and Jackson are part of the ensemble concert K-pop Masterz in Bangkok at the end of July. Jackson had also gone viral during his recent stay in Thailand for taking care of the staff, coach Ten Hag and Milli, and reading a fan’s letter at the spot. Fans had also constantly waited in the pouring rain for a glimpse of him despite the idol asking them to go home.

‘Jackson Wang you’re so famous’

And so with his popularity being more than evident, Jackson’s fans made tweets like, “Come on @teamwangofcl you need to trust your artist. He is JACKSON WANG, the man who got over thousands of fans waiting for him at the airport just to get a glance of him. Please don’t say that he won’t be able to sell out shows because HE IS ABLE.” Another fan added, “Jackson Wang needs no validation, he’ll forever be superior & relevant and every vein in his body needs to know this.”

One fan wanted him to know just how famous he was, “Did u know that there is a Jackson Wang set meal in one of the restaurants in Thailand?” Another GOT7 fan shared, “To think Jackson Wang wouldn’t draw crowds? Who is saying this? Fire them immediately.” One added, “The whole of thailand is crazy for jackson, actors turning into fansites, thai fans wanting to lick even a drop on p jacks sweat and you are telling me that jackson wang was told that he was not famous?”

Another commented, “All these mid artists are doing concerts in Thailand. And THE Jackson Wang whose biggest fans are Thai celebrities can't do it? Didn't you see the amount people turned up at the airport in 2019? Stop smoking expired shit.” One fan shared photos of the crowd that had shown up just to get a glimpse of him during his latest trip to Thailand, “JACKSON WANG YOURE SO FAMOUS.”
