First of all I want to make it really clear that I truly love Jackson and I am an ahgase and I love all off GOT7 equally. I get very happy to see them doing projects they are passionate about and working on their solo things and I do my best to support them in all their activites, be that group or solo activites. So ofcourse i want to do my best by supporting our boy Jackson and to watch his Team Wang promotions and interviews, but there is this one thing Jackson repeated several times on different interviews that just rubbed me the wrong way. Our boys work really hard and I'm so proud of them and worried because when you think about it when do they even have time to sleep from all the scheduales.
The thing Jackson says is more or less in lines off that when GOT7 rests, he will go to China for his own music. He said that repedeatly on american radio shows. That he works 6 months in korea with Got7 and than when the boys rest, the other 6 months he works in China with Team Wang. And I am very proud of him for working so hard and putting a years worth of work in just 6 months, amazing!! But the way he frases it makes me a little upset. It sounds like the other six months that he is in China the rest of the guys are just resting. Which is completley inaccurate.
They have so many other activites. They immediatley go back to studio and put out a whole new Japanese album for which they have to promote on various interviews and shows, and film a music video and choregraphy, they have tour in Japan for that album with all kinds of stages and choregraphys and what not. If that were only that, but it isn't. A sub unit might also put out an album like Jus2 at the begging of the year how also had a tour across asia or JJ Project that are coming back soon and have already recorded the songs and filmed an mv and those comebaks require all the promotions and work on shows like m!countdown and such as any album or ep Got7 puts out as a group. Then there are also other activites like BamBam having a fanmetting tour all over Thailand, Mark doing a lot of promotions and shows in China, Jinyoung filming a whole drama as a lead actor and voiceing a character in an animated movie and so on.
My whole point is that the boys work just as much if not even more than he does in those "other" 6 months. So when he says in America that the others are resting while he is working, seems like he is extremley diminishing their efforts and hardwork. And mildly infuriates me.
I understand that he is there to talk about his work with Team Wang an not to promote Got7, but he could just as easily say that when he is working in China, the rest of Got7 are working on other things. end of story. so simple. But he doesnt. He repedeatly says that they are resting and from the eyes of the american interviewer or listener that seems like the others arent as hardworking or as passionate as he is, and from the eyes of an ahgase it seems like he is putting them down in american press.
This wasn't intended to turn out this long I apologize. I didnt know how else to get my point across. I just wanted to know if there are any other ahgashes who have noticed or feel the same way about this as I do. I am not genuinly upset at Jackson at all, I still love him just the same. This isn't a big deal or a deal at all. And it's possible that the boys are so busy that there aren't even aware of all the other work everyone does individually. Like for example when Got7 was playing song association on ELLE on youtube and Yugyeom started singing I wont let you go and Jacskon asked him by who is this song, clearly not knowing it well enough to remember in the moment that it's the title song from their japanese album. So am I the only one who gets a little bothered when Jackson says that the rest are resting?
