JACKSON WANG | 'Papillon', 'LMLY', 'Drive You Home' REACTION | He's so creative and unpredictable!

[@winniesan6023]

His evolution from PAPILLON to CRUEL only took 5 years! As you say, some people may not realize that these songs are created by the same person. As a fan of Got7, I was freaked out by his solo debut PAPILLON because it was so different and creative 5 years ago. Then it happened again and again, and every time I was shocked by his creativity. And now I am amazed by CRUEL because of the same reasons again. His solo history and progress are made by himself from age 23 only, without any help from JYP. He developed Team Wang from 2 staff to now over 80 staff. How smart he is? I look forward to seeing how far he can go in the next 5 years.😊😊😊

As you may know, Papillon means butterfly in French. However, Jackson got his inspiration for his song "Papillon" from the 1973 Hollywood movie Papillon with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, which is based on the life of a French man who has been wrongly convicted of a crime and sentenced to life in prison. The man is nicknamed Papillon because he has a large butterfly tattoo on his chest. While in prison the man has to fight to overcome a lot of bad things and endure a lot of hardships in order to escape. Jackson said he kind of saw Papillon as a warrior who was ready to do battle to gain his freedom and he admired his strength and ability to never give up. With that in mind, he took that story and adapted it to create a more modern version for his song "Papillon." "Papillon" is Jackson's solo debut single from 2017, which was about 3 years after he debuted as a member of GOT7. At this time he was primarily known as a rapper, so his first few songs are more hip-hop style songs, as he worked to make his way into the western/U.S. music market. And he did several collaborations with well known western hip-hop artists. Therefore, in the song and MV Jackson is talking about feeling trapped and he wants to break free from the self doubts and all the things that are holding him back from accomplishing his goals and becoming his true self, etc. A butterfly could also be a symbol for new beginnings as it turns from a caterpillar into a beautiful insect with wings that allow it to soar. Because this was his solo debut, I think "Papillon" was a metaphor for how this was a new beginning for him as a solo artist and producer. It's a new chapter in his life where he is now able to focus on his music and the things he wants to do with his career, instead of only being known as the funny entertainer who does what other people want. This was a rebirth and new start for him as he shows off his hard work, introduces us to Team Wang and begins to build his brand and solo career, etc. It was around this time that Jackson made a deal with JYP Entertainment that 6 months out of the year he would promote and work as a member of GOT7, and then the other 6 months -- while the other members were focusing on solo activities or promoting GOT7's Japanese songs -- he would be working on his solo music and participating in solo activities in China.

1. LMLY 2. Blow

[@kexuanlin5453]

Papillon and OKAY is a full storyline。OKAY is the first part，Papillon is second part。

[@ffbeexaid4509]

I like LMLY and Blow the most.

[@ot7biasedmashups]

Omg you need to watch Bullet to the heart now! It really changed his solo career and how much people respect him. And it's just awesome.

[@llj3813]

Team Wang❤️

[@aishaottley8921]

React to jackson wang and JJ lin "Should've let go" and "Bullet to the heart"

[@redh34d]

"Why wasn't I invited?" 😂 I know! The thing about Jackson is he's always venturing into new territories and improving himself. Someone posted his cut from GOT7 EP just now and I was blown away yet again by how much more sophisticated he is as a vocalist and rapper now. LMLY is still my favorite too, even though everything he's released since has been top notch. Papillon was my favorite from MIRRORS but that damn album is choked full with gems like Bad Back, DWay! and On the Rocks. All the other members clowned him so bad when Papillon came out, singing "Aite, Aite, aite, aite" non stop 😂 But that way they helped him promote it too, bc he wasn't supposed to do so in Korea at the time!

[@yaya_dbsk]

genius production from a talented musician 🥰

[@kexuanlin5453]

there is the same girl from Magnetic（rain feat jackson）lol

[@gabimiranda]

I'm living for your GOT7's reactions! It's so weird to watch Papillon and then watch LMLY because the evolution is on another level. I mean Jackson has grown so much and I love to see him work in different concepts and music styles.

[@choihyunsukbabeFANBASE]

Here it is my bias jackson😍😍😍

[@asahified]

Drive you home gets me so emotional

[@cecil1108]

Jacksooooonnn 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@sampadabarde4872]

before even starting ....imma tell you were in for a treat.

[@essg7738]

You really need to check the co-ed group he formed called PANTHEPACK their album is a BOP just like jackson solo work he made the rapper sing and the singer raps and i love this about him 🥹 When someone introduces him as a rapper he always says i’m just an artist whom preforms in different fields (singing/rap/dancing…)

[@mariajosecarmona4497]

Papillon has a long story and this album is soo good. Titanic and oxygen are my kind of song. But everything here is BOP.

[@BringSugaTangerineTheDocuments]

Give Jackson the movie deal ASAP!!!

[@ShyyNyckole]

Jackson is everything. His voice is one of a kind. I do think Woosung of The Rose 'Phase Me' sounds a lot like Jackson

[@amorfati4790]

i love jackson's tribute to Hongkong movie classics.

[@somlithailopsatit951]

Jackson​ Wang.. is​ a​ cool​ man​👍

[@bright-eyed5830]

Love his art

[@karinadefarialeite6689]

LOOOOOVE Jackson ❤️

[@sittingduck1735]

Jackson's growth as a solo artist is so organic though. He refused all help and did it all on his own. Papillon isn't my favorite solo of his but it did mark a beginning in his long struggle to find his sound and I like going back to it occasionally as a sort of personal motivation

[@sandyigot7256]

I not true but For me Bullet To the Heart is sequel to LMLY. It makes so much sense. Although Bullet to The heart came years before LMLY. I recommend - Bullet to the heart - Titanic - Alone (his life story) For GOT7 - Crash and Burn - Poison - Aura (blindfold ver) - Thursday - Page - Eclipse Thank you for the reaction 💚

[@bamsdandelion6272]

jackson's songs really are never the same and that's so impressive that each one is still such a masterpiece!! i really hope you can check out some funny got7 compilations!! I recommend "got7 clowning eachother for eight(ish) minutes"

[@aceangel3738]

Papillon is my Fav song of his😍😍😍😍😍

[@Bellafrankie]

I was waiting for the Jackson marathon!! Thank you for the reaction. He has ton of music. Hope you'll check out "Panthepack ", his chinese group that he formed under his label.

[@dja449]

As always, thank you so much for checking out his earlier work. 😍

[@playerclashwong427]

Around 2018 Mv all have a storyline with the lyrics & got a behind the scenes

[@niceb1735]

'On the Rocks' don't have an MV but it does have a lyric one. I suggest you listen to it.

[@mmofsjs]

thank for reaction jackson💚

[@TrineMortensen]

Drive You Home is still my favourite Jackson song, everything about that song and video is just 😙🤌🏻 I will forever love Papillon, it was his first solo release and it was soo good.. LMLY and Pretty Please are also favourites.. Bullet to the Heart is also one of my faves, again his voice and the feels it portrays 🥺

[@jhingbautista4519]

In terms of acting, Jinyoung and Jackson are definitely the best among GOT7. Jinyoung is number 1 since he has more experience. But Jackson's MVs and that one Pepsi commercial show sooo much potential.

[@choihyunsukbabeFANBASE]

All of his songs are dope💚 just seen him live during kpopmasterz in manila and damn his stage presence and live vocals are smooth & powerful🔥💓🔥

[@achiematters8526]

Yeah Jackson is a true artist with lots of talent and he sings different genres. Thanks for reacting. Please check 100 ways, pretty please, titanic, bullet to the heart, okay, dawn of us, Fendiman and many more out

[@thinkaboutit9181]

Yeeeessss) My Jackson!)

[@eunicebernante]

fun fact or some of the speculation of some ahgases the AMERITHAIKONG line or Mark, Bambam, and, Jackson first songs after they didn’t renew their contract in their previous company mainly focuses about new begins where they can be free and create their own music where it also describes them just like the riBBon is reborn for Bam and the easter eggs of Mark’s Last Breath of new begins in the tub Jackson also have lyrics in here where he said “run by me” which indicates he can finally made something where he can run and decide for his craft💚 thank u for reacting on Jackson’s music, i hope u enjoy it🥰✨

[@wild-wolf3560]

I am a simple 19-year-old Italian girl who loves the beautiful JACKSON WANG doll, he is the only man of my dreams but I wake up and see the reality that I am a simple mortal! How not to love him? If he is a COMPLETE package; super beautiful, super adorable, super simple, super talented, super respectful and my future husband!😘😘😘

[@andylam6888]

great reaction😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩

[@nukronglee]

I love to see you with GOT7's reaction and if im not wrong on this video I saw you touch your ears. I hope you fine because I like your reaction pls take care of yourself 🙇‍♀️💚

[@t.t2516]

Thank you for more Jackson reaction!!! LMLY was my favourite too. All Jackson's song was different. Hope you will react to his First Digital album, Bullet to the heart, Titanic and Dway. He also has unpromoted album Lost and Found released early this year.

[@lauriansa3784]

4:08 that guy wearing Michael Jackson on his 👕. Bambam and Yugyeom teased Jackson about the songs chorus

[@Adonna2424]

The making of vids for these are so damn interesting, he's really hands on everything. Thank you for the reactions!

[@namjoons_expensivegirl4613]

awwwww you missed "bullet to the heart" i hope you will react to it,its really good

[@filipapereira2086]

BTW papillon is French for butterfly 😉

[@bee5462]

Jackson ❤️🔥 Please "bullet to the heart" next ❤️ Love your reaction 🥰

[@CitizenDK1]

Love your reaction as always.❤ You were almost speechless. His voice is amazing and very versatile. I can also recommend Bullet to the heart, Magnetic in collaboration with Rain or Jessi + Jackson NuNu NaNa. GOT7 (Mark, Jackson, BamBam) - HAPPY RETURN, Manana. GOT7 Crash and Burn and Take me to You.

[@barrymoreblue]

I actually laughed out loud when you said Jesus in Drive You Home, b/c that was my same reaction, lol. Especially when you don't know what's happening yet and he's suddenly spitting up blood, lol. It took me aback a little. Like another comment said, you'll like Bullet To The Heart, if you haven't already seen it. *Fun fact: in French, papillon (pronounced pap.E.yawn) means butterfly; in English, it is also a breed of dog that is small with long hair and large ears that resemble butterfly wings.

[@ELmayberry]

I remember when I first watched, and he was on the ground, I was like did Jackson get shot then it showed more 😭

[@chloeapril8955]

I love your reaction 💋💋💋

[@esmeraldaXxX]

You NEED to listen to his album Magic Man, if you haven't already. TRUST ME, YOU HAVE TO.

[@Nata-cc7md]

The music of GOT 7 members is diverse and yet has its own recognizable style. It is very nice to see and hear your next reaction. Let me offer you something unusually new and hopefully interesting for you - the rock band FTISLAND from South Korea, which has a unique and powerful vocals of the main vocalist Lee Hongki, the invariably melodic sound of classic rock instruments with the addition of modern sounds with beautiful lyrics. I recommend live performances of the songs Crying in the Rain, Out of Love, Unthinkable, Skyway, GAME, Paradise, Love Sick, Remember, Fade Out, Light, TIME, To The Light, Hourglass, Hold The Moon. Amazing energy of live performances) Thank you if you decide on such a reaction)
