God Seven's Jackson, who has won fans' hearts with his outlandish charm, is also known for being a fencer.

Jackson will compete in jyp international auditions and win first place while he has a dream of olympic gold and excels in various competitions. It's not that my parents have purely allowed the singer's way. I had my father's condition that fencing allow me to become the best in Asia. That's why you'll compete in the Asia International Competition, win two gold medals, finish 11th in the world rankings, as well as no.1 in the Asian rankings, and then go the way you want.

However, neither club would have made a stand out, and in 2008, they abandoned baseball. After that, you'll start with a musical actor and even star in a drama called "You." I'm sorry to give up on baseball players, but I hope they'll show up in a variety of different works in the future.
But neither team made a name for themselves, so they gave up baseball in 2008. Later, as a musical actor, he also starred in the TV series "Even So, You". Although it is a pity to give up baseball players, I hope that I can shine in the future on the road of acting.
