Jackson Wang recently graced Fun With Dumb with his presence on the podcast’s 190th episode as he opened up about hitting a low point in his life and how he allowed himself to be vulnerable, which helped him heal over time.

After his explanation, the other podcast members became intrigued with his story and wanted to know more about where his honesty emerged from. Jackson Wang began to share that he had hit an all-time low, which got him stuck in a negative mindset for a whole year, and he couldn’t get out of it.

"If I feel stressed out or something or if there is a problem, there must be a solution, so I just need to solve it."

Describing himself as a workaholic, Jackson Wang stated that he constantly compelled himself to work schedule after schedule until it felt like a never-ending loop. He further told the story about how one day he was recording in a studio when his producer asked him to take a break and share whatever was going on in his head.

GOT7's Jackson Wang stated that he was initially quite resistant, but soon revealed his true feelings. Afterwards, he opened up to the director and stylist as well, and by doing so, he felt like a weight had been taken off his shoulders.

"The words that they said it felt like magic to me. I never thought that words could mean something."
