Jackson working schedule is very tight and his father, fencing coach Wang Rui Ji head to South Korea yesterday to reunite with his dear son.

GOT7’s Hong Kong member, Jackson Wang was a fencing athlete while his father is Wang Rui Ji was the former coach for Hong Kong fencing team. Jackson’s father once opposed his son in entering Korean entertainment industry; he hoped that Jackson will continue his studies in either Hong Kong or USA, continuing his career in fencing. Jackson’s mother was also worried for their son being venturing career in a foreign country by himself. After persistent persuasion by Jackson, his parent finally allowed him to realize his dream.
Reuniting at TV station
GOT7 debut mini 《Got it？》 was released yesterday, and the 7 members has been busy promoting the album. As Jackson is unclear whether he can return to Hong Kong for Chinese New Year celebration, his father went to South Korea to visit his dear son. Unfortunately, as GOT7 have a string of recording at several TV stations; it was difficult even to have time to meet up for a meal. Jackson has no choice but to arrange for his father to attend his recording in TV station so they could meet up.
Cantonese coach for miss A
As GOT7 senior girlband miss A is going to hold a show in Hong Kong this Saturday, members Fei & Jia are busy rehearsing. Both of them approached Jackson to coach them in Cantonese.

GOT7 is attracting a lot of Asian fans due to their multi-national members, their Thai member Bam Bam once took part in Hong Kong movie 《Fairy Tale Killer》 portraying the son of Lau Ching Wan and Joey Meng.
Additional excerpt from The Sun, HK
Jackson’s father accepted interview and admitted that at first, he wished for his son to focus in education: “I wish he will study overseas in US while continuing fencing training. Plus, my wife is reluctant to let him go to South Korea alone. In the end, we decided to let him try it out.” Recently, he flew to South Korea to visit Jackson, unfortunately during his 3 days trip, Jackson was busy promoting the album, to which he sighed that there was too little time to meet up. “Even no time to have a meal together!” He added that Jackson is very busy, he most probably won’t be able to return to Hong Kong for Chinese New Year celebration.
