Korean superstar rapper Jackson Wang enjoys Kathak dance during India visit

Korean superstar and global K-pop sensation Jackson Wang touched down in Mumbai on June 10, 2025, kicking off a vibrant and culturally rich week-long visit to India. Known for his dynamic performances, fashion-forward style, and genre-blending music, the artist greeted fans and the media with a warm namaste, instantly winning hearts across the country.

Unlike his brief but memorable stop during Lollapalooza India in 2023, this trip sees Jackson immersing himself more deeply in Indian culture. The visit comes in tandem with the promotion of his upcoming album Magic Man 2—a darker, more introspective project that showcases a matured, evolved side of the artist. Jackson is also riding high on the success of his recent singles, including the energetic “BUCK,” a powerful cross-cultural collaboration with Indian Punjabi music star Diljit Dosanjh, and the soul-stirring “Hate to Love.”

Jackson's Instagram stories have given fans a peek into his Indian adventure. From cruising through Mumbai’s bustling streets to watching a captivating Kathak dance performance at his hotel, Jackson’s enthusiasm for Indian culture is palpable. His emotional reaction to the traditional performance—captioned with a heartfelt “THANK YOU”—reflected how much he appreciated the warm welcome and vibrant hospitality.

Over the coming days, Jackson’s India itinerary is packed with cultural explorations, podcast interviews, media appearances, and exclusive fan interactions. This approach reflects his desire to connect on a deeper level with Indian audiences, far beyond the stage.
