Jackson Wang opens up about suffering from depression
Jackson Wang recently sat down with Vogue for the behind-the-scenes coverage of his Head in the Clouds Festival performance.
During the interview, the 28-year-old soloist shared that he has never been satisfied with his musical work until his latest album which is titled, MAGICMAN.
He said, ‘I’ve never been satisfied with myself my whole life, no matter what I do. And I think this album (MAGIC MAN) is the first time that I think it’s okay. I’ve never been this raw in my life.’
Furthermore, the idol explained, ‘I’ve been in this industry for eight, nine years to a point that I was lost and everything fell into a loop. You know it’s just things after things, schedules after schedules. I was so depressed.’
Wang shared, ‘I just felt like, “You know what? Whoever I was, whatever I was, I want [to] just leave that behind and start fresh. And I wanna be me for a second.” A 100% me. Being honest to my audience and just letting them know who I really am.’
Moreover, he continued, ‘I might not be perfect, you know? Not everybody might like me. But at least if you like me, if you support me, you’re supporting the real Jackson.’
