Jackson Wang drops MAGIC MAN 2: Watch GOT7 star ‘take off his past' by stripping down in Made Me a Man music video
Made Me a Man captures Jackson's emotion through visual metaphors
The music video for Made Me a Man showcases a more vulnerable side of Jackson. The soft, introspective track explores themes of emotional growth, self-reflection, and transformation. Visually, the video moves through a dreamlike sequence.
Jackson walks through a mist-covered forest, symbolizing confusion and inner turmoil. This shifts to a vibrant field full of flowers, representing clarity and fleeting peace. It is then followed by a dark, ominous nightscape filled with chaos, suggesting a painful but necessary personal journey.
In the final moments of the video, Jackson is seen standing fully bare atop a hill, facing forward as the wind brushes against him. The powerful imagery captures a moment of raw vulnerability and rebirth. It symbolises his willingness to shed past burdens and face an uncertain future with nothing to hide.
About MAGIC MAN 2
MAGIC MAN 2 is the official sequel to Jackson's 2022 album MAGIC MAN. Initially planned for a 2023 release, the album faced multiple delays, first to 2024 and finally landing in 2025. Despite the wait, the project arrives with a refined vision and more experimental edge.
Spanning 11 tracks, the album blends genres and emotions, staying true to Jackson's evolving artistry. The rollout began earlier this year with the release of the lead single High Alone in February, followed by GBAD and its remixes. BUCK, a bold track featuring Indian superstar Diljit Dosanjh, further highlighted Jackson's global vision. In June, he dropped the dramatic music video for Hate to Love, and now caps off the album's pre-release journey with Made Me a Man.

Michael Jackson Biopic Michael Gets New Release Date After Reshoots and Legal Changes, Details Inside
The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic titled 'Michael' will now hit theaters worldwide, including IMAX, on April 24, 2026, Lionsgate and Universal Pictures confirmed. Originally scheduled for October 3, 2025, the film was previously announced for an April 18, 2025, release before undergoing multiple changes. Lionsgate will distribute the film domestically in the U.S., while Universal Pictures will handle the international release, excluding Japan, where Kino Films will release the movie, as reported by Variety. Why was the Michael Jackson biopic delayed? According to reports, the delay was primarily caused by reshoots and the need to edit content tied to legal sensitivities. The production had originally included references to Jordan Chandler, the 13-year-old who accused Jackson of molestation in 1993. The pop icon settled the case out of court in 1994 without admitting guilt. Though the screenplay by John Logan was approved by Jackson's estate and shot with Chandler's role, the filmmakers were later informed that Chandler could not be included, leading to reshoots and script changes after production wrapped in May 2024. Additionally, the first cut of the film ran over 3.5 hours, prompting internal discussions about trimming the runtime and possibly releasing the biopic in two parts to make it more accessible to audiences. Here's what we know about the team behind the film Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film stars Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson's real-life nephew, in the lead role. Fuqua is best known for Training Day, while Oscar-winning producer Graham King, who delivered the global hit Bohemian Rhapsody, is producing. The screenplay is written by John Logan, a three-time Oscar nominee with credits like Gladiator and The Aviator. The cast includes: Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson Nia Long as Katherine Jackson Miles Teller as John Branca Larenz Tate as Berry Gordy Laura Harrier as Suzanne de Passe Kat Graham as Diana Ross Jessica Sula as La Toya Jackson Liv Symone as Gladys Knight Kendrick Sampson as Quincy Jones Kevin Shinick as Dick Clark KeiLyn Durrel Jones as Bill Bray

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said in May that the movie was 'likely" to move to 2026.

His personal physician, Conrad Murray, said that he found Jackson in his bedroom at his North Carolwood Drive home in the Holmby Hills area of the city not breathing and with a weak pulse; he administered CPR to no avail, and security called 9-1-1. Paramedics treated Jackson at the scene, but he was pronounced dead at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Westwood. Later, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner concluded that Jackson's death was a homicide. Jackson had been administered propofol and anti-anxiety benzodiazepines lorazepam and midazolam by his doctor. Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in November 2011, and was released in 2013 after serving two years of his four-year prison sentence with time off for good behaviour.
