GOT7's Jackson talked about the sacrifices he made for his K-Pop dreams on Chinese variety show 'Go Fridge'. 


Jackson explained how he had to let down the high hopes of his father as well as his peers for his great passion for K-Pop. The idol star, who was once Hong Kong's national fencing representative, even turned down a scholarship for Stanford University, and even the chance to join Hong Kong's national team for the London Olympics.

Ultimately, Jackson gave up all those things and decided to start from the bottom as a trainee, rather than becoming a fencing star. Fortunately for him, Jackson's passion and hard effort has paid off, and he's touching many hearts with his success story. 


Listen to how Jackson came to be a top idol star in the clip above.
