On January 26, 2025, Jackson Wang of the K-pop group GOT7 was hospitalized after experiencing sudden chest pain during the recording of a music program. The incident, which occurred while preparing for a performance on SBS’ Inkigayo, has raised concerns among fans.

An official statement shared on GOT7’s social media accounts confirmed that Jackson was promptly taken to the hospital for treatment. Medical assessments indicated that while he was advised to rest, he would be able to continue promotional activities for GOT7’s latest album, Winter Heptagon.

In a live stream on X on January 21, 2025, he revealed that he had been dealing with mental health struggles, including depression, largely due to the intense pressure of his career.

Winter Heptagon marked GOT7’s long-awaited return after a 4-year hiatus following the group’s departure from JYP Entertainment in 2021. The new album features a total of nine tracks, including PYTHON, SMOOTH, Our Youth, REMEMBER, Darling, TIDAL WAVE, OUT THE DOOR, her, and Yours Truly.

Released on January 20, 2025, the album contains nine tracks, showcasing the members' creativity. The album includes contributions from all members, with BamBam notably composing the track PYTHON. This album also marks GOT7’s first release after signing with Kakao Entertainment.

Fans have continued to express their support for Jackson Wang, with many sending well-wishes for his quick recovery and eagerly awaiting his return to the promotional activities for Winter Heptagon.
