Recently, GOT7’s Jackson Wang won the Next Big Thing award at the 2018 Teen Choice Awards.

In an Instagram post, he thanked fans for the award.

‘I don’t even know what to say. I still can’t believe it happened.  You all made it happen. Congrats to all of you because you all did it. Teen Choice Awards: Next Big Thing. It belongs to you all,’ he wrote.

He added: ‘Aside from being a singer or an entertainer, I feel much Blessed to have all of you, to even “know” me as a person. Thank you for believing in me.’

Jackson told fans to ‘never feel left out because we are a team. Enjoy the Good times.  Learn from the bad times. Never let the negative vibe affect you. Nothing can affect you until YOU yourself care.’

‘There are too much to do. A long long way to go. Too busy to work on our own stuff. Let’s just focus on us. Me myself, will always work harder to have better music, better performances, and most importantly, I will be a better Jackson Wang,’ he added.
