Thanks for commenting. I’ve already reacted to Bullet To The Heart 👍🏻
The story in the Jackson's "100 Ways" MV is a sort of ancient Chinese Romeo and Juliet story. In the MV Jackson is an ancient Chinese soldier who has come back to life after being killed to find his lover and resurrect her so they can spend eternity buried together. So the backup dancers are his troops who are there to serve him and to pledge their loyalty to Jackson their leader, etc. That is why it looks like he is controlling and commanding them. The Kata hand movements are the spell they are using to bring everyone back to life.
The story in "100 Ways" is actually sort of connected to the story in "Jackson's MV for "Pretty Please ft. Galantis." You should watch "Pretty Please" next, and at the end of that MV (make sure to watch all the way to the end of the credits) you will get to hear him explain the concept behind the 2 MVs and what the stories are about.
Jackson Wang is one of the rappers in the Kpop group GOT7. He is Chinese, from Hong Kong. He grew up attending an international school in Hong Kong were the primary language spoken was English. So he is now fluent in English, and he speaks English almost better than his native Cantonese. So, when it comes to his solo work, most of his songs are in English or Mandarin. Jackson speaks 4 languages fluently: Cantonese, English, Korean and Mandarin.
As a soloist he is a global artist. He writes and composes and produces his own music and he is a music mogul -- he runs is own label/company with his crew called Team Wang. Because most of Jackson's songs are in English, and he is a fluent English speaker, he does a lot of promotional activities in the U.S. as well, and has collaborated with several famous U.S. artists.
Jackson is gaining a reputation as one of the biggest and most famous singer/songwriter/producer/dancer/artists in China, alongside Lay (Zhang Yixing) from the Kpop group EXO. They are both international powerhouses who dominate in all aspects of the Chinese entertainment industry and internationally.
Jackson has 100% control over all aspects of his solo work because he owns it all himself. It's all part of his company. However, "100 Ways" actually was choreographed and the MV was produced under the direction of the Kinjaz, which are an American crew. The Kinjaz have done a lot of projects with Jackson and several of his projects are in collaboration with them. To hear the Kinjaz members explain what it was like on the set of "100 Ways" and the whole process working with Jackson, check out the Kinjaz TH-cam channel and this video: th-cam.com/video/NNSOvgjjXg0/w-d-xo.html. Fun fact: The hand movements are the Kinjaz signature Kata moves.
Most of Jackson's MVs are very cinematic. If you like this song, you will love his other solo songs such as "Pretty Please," "Oxygen", "Drive You Home," "LMLY (Let Me Love You)", etc.
Wow, thank you so much for all this information! It must have took a long time to compile and I really appreciate it. The theme and story for this music video is amazing! I'm a big fan of history in general, so what you said was really interesting!
Huge respect to Jackson for having complete control over his work and being involved in all aspects! I wish more artists were like this in the West - particularly in the pop field. I can't imagine speaking 4 languages!! I think it's great that Chinese artists are gaining global attention :) I will check out more Jackson Wang definitely.
@@SeanBennettGuitar it’s actually 5 because he speaks Shanghainese fluently.. 😊 He used to dabble with Japanese and French. French because he used to be a fencer 🤺.
@@lizandjaq22 wow!
Thank you 🙏🏻
No problem - thanks for commenting 👍
Great reaction/review! Btw, although he’s part of a K-Pop group, his solo music is very different from K-Pop. I guess most of his solo songs are on the Western pop route (and in English) and addition he has some C-Pop songs because he’s actually Chinese. One of my favorites of his is “LMLY” which has an 80’s vibe which I love.
Thanks for the comment and the information! I need to check out some C-Pop!
@@SeanBennettGuitarK-Pop C-Pop very different
Love Jackson Wang! Another K-pop group that you might enjoy is Stray Kids. "Red Lights" by two of the Stray Kids members sing in this song and the guitar part is very powerful!
Thanks for the recommendation! Will have to check it out at some point.
Jackson Wang was part of the 88Rising set at Coachella (2022) on Saturday.

My pleasure 😊 Thanks for commenting and for checking it out!
Great that you likes 100ways! Was directed by Cloud same Director for Blow & Bullet to the heart. Please react to Pretty please, LMLY & Drive you home all directed by Jackson. For C-pop you may react to "Jackson Wang" in Team Wang TH-cam channel, this song is about his journey to become an artist, who is he and his vision. Also his Chinese group Panthepack Buzz, Pull up etc.
Thank you for all this info! Really useful to know 👍🏻 appreciate the time this would have taken you to write 😊

Nice
Thanks! Appreciate your comment :)
I think you'd really like Max Changmin's Fever if you haven't checked out yet. Maniac is also good and Devil. All from his new album.
Thanks for the comment and recommendation! I haven't heard of him before but will check it out.
I'd highly recommend DAY6, a k-band, as your intro to kmusic.
Thanks for the recommendation!
REACT GOT7 NANANA GROUP JACKSON
Great review! There's a band from South Korea called Day6 who are from the same company where Jackson used to be when he was in a kpop group. I recommend you listen to their most popular song "Shoot me".There is another band that is not so well known but they are very good called The Rose, the first song they released was "Sorry" (they have a live version)...I am curious to hear your opinion about them!! (sorry if my grammar is weird) Love from Chile!
Thank you for the info and kind words! I will definitely check them out - thanks for the recommendations too! 👍🏻
Just to comment what you said.. Jackson’s songs are not Kpop at all . You will see that if you check kpop. There is a huge difference between his songs & MVs and kpop ones.
