Jackson Wang is a Hong Kong born rapper plus singer that is a part of a Korean group, Got7. I first was introduce to his work through the appearance on television program, Roommate. He amazed me with his talent and personality. He showed humility, positivity, determination, and many other admirable characteristics. Jackson quickly became my favorite person to watch on Roommate.

Some can name and describe several of his most famous masterpieces. I personally love his unique style towards painting and pursuing several subjects of study.
