Past simple

So you are a world famous K-pop star, which everyone knows, but yes, you are.

But if you didn't know, but I didn't know this about you.

So originally you were like an athlete from Hong Kong.

So I guess it would have been a letdown if you didn't do something in that category.

Yes, I mean, I was prepping for London Olympics back then.

And then I just, while prepping, I just told my parents, hey, you know what?

I mean, they want me, of course, to go to the Olympics, you know, do my thing.

And, you know, it took me seven months to persuade them.

And then they're like, you're out of your mind.

My principal told me that this is the worst, worst decision you're going to ever make in your life.

Then after I debuted as a singer and I went back to have a concert and I invited him and then he said, Jackson, we believed in you.

I was like, people were totally like, that's never going to happen.

Like, and then they were like, the whole time, you'd see them on the news and they're like, we believed from the beginning.

So were your parents worried about you guys?

Like in the entertainment industry, were they worried?

At first I said, hey, I passed this audition in Korea.

They told me about this, like entertainment?

No, they're going to kidnap you and put you in a cave.

And then they're like, no, you're not going to do that.

They're going to, we're not going to see you again.

And, and, and I'm like, no, let, let me, you know, live my dream.

And yeah, seven months of persuading them.

Unless it's a really cool cave with a bar.

The whole thing is about like a journey of finding and exploring the new me and deciding to, you know, drop everything, whoever I was, whatever I had before.

And, and, you know, to be as raw as possible that I've ever been in my life.

And it's not, the album is called Magic Man.

You know, the tone, the color, the, the attitude, the visuals, everything in one package.

Like, cause some artists aren't into the whole thing, like into the like art and into the, all of it.

Cause like, even though it fails, it could be, you know, it could be bad when people can't relate to it.
