Jackson Wang with Roshan family
South Korean singer Jackson Wang is currently in Mumbai to promote his upcoming music album Magic Man 2. The singer has planned several activities and interactions during his week-long stay in the city. During his visit, he also met actor Hrithik Roshan.

This marks Jackson's reunion with the Roshan family. During his previous visit to Mumbai to perform at Lollapalooza in 2023, Wang had also met the Roshans.
Reportedly, Jackson's trip is part of a multi-pronged campaign to promote his upcoming album Magic Man 2. He will also be promoting his latest singles, including the hard-hitting "BUCK" - a collaboration with Indian superstar Diljit Dosanjh - and his emotionally raw track "Hate to Love," which was unveiled recently.
According to reports, Jackson will be staying in Mumbai for seven days, during which he will participate in various activities, including media interactions, podcast appearances, and digital collaborations that align with his global appeal and strong Indian fanbase.
"Jackson wants to connect with his Indian fans at a deeper level. His schedule is hectic, but he's adamant about embracing Indian culture and warmth in full swing," India Today quoted a source as saying about Wang's plans in Mumbai.
Jackson Wang is a multifaceted entertainer - rapper, singer-songwriter, dancer, television host, and fashion designer - who rose to fame as a member of the K-pop boy band GOT7, debuting under JYP Entertainment in 2014.
Before his entertainment career, he was a competitive sabre fencer, winning the Asian Junior and Cadet Fencing Championship and earning a place on Hong Kong's national team.
After years with GOT7, Jackson launched his solo career through his label Team Wang, releasing his debut solo album Mirrors in 2019 (which peaked at #32 on the Billboard 200), followed by Magic Man in 2022. He also designs fashion lines for Team Wang Design and has collaborated with global brands like Fendi and Cartier.
