In 2017, he founded Team Wang, a Chinese label and fashion brand, releasing his solo debut Mirrors (2019), which hit #32 on the Billboard 200. His 2022 album Magic Man reached #15, followed by Magic Man 2 (July 18, 2025), featuring singles like “Buck” with Diljit Dosanjh. In 2021, he left JYP and formed the Chinese hip-hop group Panthepack.
