Jackson Wang is coming up with a brand new single ‘Alone’ on January 30 and GOT7 fans are beyond excited for the new project. The dramatic new teaser, mostly shot in noir, unveils the K-pop star in a charismatic avatar. Here are all the details you need to know about the new single.

Wang is the founder of Team Wang and a member of K-pop super-group GOT7, which who just ended its contract with JYP Entertainment. Wang started his solo music career in 2017 and delivered quite a few bangers along the way. The 26-year-old K-pop singer who debuted with GOT7 with the single ‘Girls Girls Girls’, made it to the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list at 41 last year with his ever-increasing popularity. The Hong Kong-based singer plans to make music in Korean and English along with Chinese dialects. 

In 2020, Jackson released a number of hit singles introducing diverse concepts. In March 2020, his ‘100 Ways’ presented a unique concoction of Western and Chinese culture which became the first song by a Chinese and K-pop solo artist to debut on Mediabase's US Top 40 radio chart. His next EDM single ‘Pretty Please’ was a collaboration with Swedish duo Galantis. In 2021, Team Wang also announced another collaboration with Sublime artist agency where GOT7 member Youngjae joined.
