Fan Kisses GOT7 Jackson Wang’s Backup Dancer Non-Consensually, Sparking Outrage
As of late, GOT7‘s Jackson Wang has remained a busy bee! Immediately after his Coachella performances, the star jumped back into his world tour, finishing the first part of the North American leg before heading to South America.
The first stop on this portion of the tour was Brazil. Over the years, fans in Brazil have constantly requested for GOT7 and Jackson to come to the country for a performance, turning “Come To Brazil” into a bit of a running joke.
Omg… im literally in #Brazil 🇧🇷🥹
HI BRAZIL
SHOW ME WHAT IS BRAZIL ❤️
I would love to experience 💋#MAGICMANWorldTour— Jackson Wang (@JacksonWang852) May 14, 2023
Not only did Jackson fulfill his promise of performing in the country, but the event was also made even more iconic with the appearance of a special guest, Brazillian musician and DJ Alok.
Even though he had a bit of a cute misunderstanding during his soundcheck, Jackson had a great time, as seen in the dozens of fan clips and videos. The idol even went live during an after-show meal at Alok’s home.

Unfortunately, the experience in Brazil was marred by one of Jackson’s backup dancers’ encounters with a fan.
To make the show experience even more outstanding, Jackson has a team of dancers affectionately known as his “magic friends.” Concert attendees have become fans of the dance team, often waiting after shows to snap photos with them.
In a video shared online, one of his dancers can be seen posing for selfies with fans behind a barricade.
After snapping a photo, one fan can be seen grabbing the dancer’s head and pulling him towards them. The fan then kisses the dancer to jerks away in surprise.
Once the video was shared online, fans shared their outrage, wondering why the person assaulted the dancer and clarifying that behavior was not encouraged.
This is clear harassment, grabbing someone back to kiss them without consent. https://t.co/0Fwjsi5Qzw

Jackson’s next concert is in Argentina, where hopefully, fans will not disrespect Jackson or his hardworking team.
