I'm not a fan of Jackson and his CCP supporting ways, but I suffered through this for GOT7 info crumbs. Anyway, I timestamped and summarized below for anyone else like me (this was honestly painful to sit through lol):
4:15 - He talks about planning to work more in Korea this year and how Got7 intends to come back with songs as a group eventually - but for 2021 it's going to be solo work.
Youngjae, JB, and Yugyeom are all preparing solo albums.
Re: Bam Bam - "I have no idea what he's doing." lol but then goes on to say Bam Bam is thinking about going into acting and doing various other things but they didn't really talk too much about his plans.
After this he goes on to talk about his partnership with Sublime (which is also Youngjae's company) and how they're very supportive and that he wants to work with Sublime and Team Wang on making his solo stuff available in Korea, because it hasn't been thus far.
He has a single coming out in March and an album coming out in August.
For BTOB fans:
15:30 - After a discussion about what the hardest part of being a celebrity/trainee is, Peniel briefly discusses his arrival in Korea and getting cut from JYP after 2 years. Jackson takes over a little here but then the conversation meanders back to Jackson's early memories of Peniel at JYP.
32:00 - They sort of circle back to this around this point and talk a little bit about how the JYP trainee system works. Jackson talks about how he ended up in Got7. Confirms that he was basically added because they thought he'd be good in variety shows.
A little while later he says he had a full scholarship to Stanford for fencing and was going to major in sports psychology but decided he wanted to be a singer and got casted in JYP around this time and went that route instead.
42:55 Jackson says he is moving to Beijing and moving his parents out of Hong Kong and back to Beijing.
After this they go to fan questions. Ashley gives good, sympathetic advice. Jackson doesn't really get it - he tells a fan to sit down for 30 minutes to get to know what he really wants in life and then just do it. "It's easy".
He says at the end that by the end of the year he's going to have released 40+ songs - one Chinese album and one English album, and some various artists he's going to be putting out through Team Wang.
Omg bless you I was kind of curious abt what he said but really did not want to watch this whole thing lol
he tells a fan to sit down for 30 minutes to get to know what he really wants in life and then just do it. "It's easy" Lmao this is making me ctfu bc it’s terrible advice but I totally believe that he believes this. I’m ambivalent at best about his overall career/goals but dude clearly has the power to do whatever he puts his mind to. I can see him genuinely being like just do what you want to, what’s the problem 🤷🏻
I listen/watch regularly and this one was definitely dominated by the guest, rather than being a conversation among the four of them. It felt more like a 3-on-1 interview that an open discussion.

Moving from Hong Kong to Beijing is… symbolic 😑
