Wang Ga Yee, known by his English name Jackson Wang, is a Hong Kong singer-songwriter, dancer, fencer, and member of GOT7 (갓세븐). He graduated from American International School.

Before debuting, he was a fencer and a member of the Hong Kong national team. He ranked 11th in the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics and later won the gold medal in individual sabre at the Asian Junior and Cadet Fencing Championship in 2011. His father is the former coach of the national team and a gold medalist at the 1978 Asian Games. His mother is a gold medalist at the 1982 World Gymnastics Championship. He also trained in gymnastics before switching to fencing when he was 9 years old. He had always wanted to become a singer, but his father opposed him, and he let him go after he won the gold medal in the 2011 competition.

He made his debut in January 2014 as GOT7's main rapper, lead dancer, martial arts tricking and face of the group with their first EP, "Got It?". The group gained attention almost immediately thanks to their live performances and the inclusion of complicated martial arts tricking (a combination of kicks with flips and twists) and street dancing. Months later, they debuted in Japan with the single "Around the World" and began expanding their market to Southeast Asia and the United States.

He made his debut in China as a solo artist in August 2017 with the single "Papillon". This marked his incursion into the Chinese market, and JYP even created Team Wang, a management team just for his solo activities in mainland China and Taiwan.

In January 2021, he decided not to renew his contract with JYP and left the agency and later signed with Sublime (써브라임) in South Korea and with 88rising in the United States while still retaining control of Team Wang.

JYP agreed to let them keep the GOT7 name,e and while they are currently without management, the group's music is distributed by Kakao Entertainment (카카오엔터테인먼트). They reunited for several fan events in 2022 and released a new album titled "Winter Heptagon" in January 2025.
