Jackson Wang abruptly ends livestream to stop fans from spending money on stickers on him

Hong Kong-born K-pop star Jackson Wang doesn’t need or want his fans to spend money on virtual gifts for him. 

Which makes sense, don’t you think?

During a TikTok livestream on Sept 6, Wang ended things abruptly after fans spent money on him via the social media app.

In a screen-recorded video of the livestream, the puzzled singer asks why various stickers are appearing on his screen.

Some fans respond that the stickers are paid gifts that can be converted into cash.

His expression then changes, and he says: "Oh no no no! Oh my god," before ending the livestream abruptly. 

Wang, who released his new album Magic Man earlier this month, later continued his livestream on another platform, and told users sternly: "I don't want gifts, don't do that."

TikTok stickers are purchased using TikTok coins. A bundle of coins ranges from $1.48 for 110 coins and $348.98 for 17,495 coins.

Here's how much the stickers that Wang received cost:

  • Hat and moustache: 99 coins
  • Sunglasses: 199 coins
  • Hearts:199 coins
