Global pop star Jackson Wang has signed a new management deal with Roc Nation, marking a fresh chapter in his international career. The announcement arrives alongside the release of his new single, \u201cThank You,\u201d and its accompanying music video.<\/p>\n
The partnership brings the Hong Kong-born artist into Roc Nation\u2019s global management roster, with founder JAY-Z welcoming Wang to the company.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to have Jackson Wang join our family here at Roc Nation,\u201d JAY-Z said, describing him as an artist with \u201ca very special drive\u201d and expressing excitement about what comes next.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank You\u201d serves as a personal message of gratitude to the fans who have supported Wang throughout his journey. The track was released on September 20, with the official video following as part of the new chapter surrounding his Roc Nation partnership.<\/p>\n
Directed by Jackson Wang and Ojun Kwon, the video was filmed entirely in black and white using the iPhone 18 Pro. Rather than focusing solely on Wang\u2019s present, the visual takes viewers through different stages of his life, including his childhood, early sporting career, time with GOT7, solo music career and his latest move with Roc Nation.<\/p>\n
Fans are also an important part of the visual. Applications were received from supporters in more than 80 countries, with 30 fans ultimately selected to appear in the video. Their participation reinforces the song\u2019s central message of appreciation and Wang\u2019s long-standing connection with his global audience.<\/p>\n
The release comes after a major period for Wang. His latest album, MAGIC MAN 2, debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and placed him in the Top 15 of the Billboard Artist 100. He has also continued his MAGIC MAN 2 World Tour, including sold-out performances at Los Angeles\u2019 Kia Forum and Brooklyn\u2019s Barclays Center.<\/p>\n
Before music became his full-time career, Wang was a competitive fencer and represented Hong Kong in international competition. He later debuted as a member of GOT7 in 2014 before building his solo career and establishing Team Wang.<\/p>\n
Now, with Roc Nation behind his global management and \u201cThank You\u201d introducing the next phase, Jackson Wang is positioning himself for another chapter that continues to connect his Asian roots with an increasingly international audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank You\u201d is out now on major streaming platforms, with the official music video also available to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
