Abstract:

This study was conducted to identify the dominance, frequency and percentage of multilingualism on the internet in Jackson Wang Got7 Instagram captions. Jackson Wang is a singer from South Korean who was born in Hong Kong and actively promotes his songs all over the world. This study focused on analyzing his Instagram and identifying the multilingualism in the recent captions. This study employed qualitative methods and an observation approach. The data were collected by taking text from the Instagram captions and identifying the language. Descriptive statistics were used where the frequency was tabulated and converted into percentages. The findings showed that Jackson Wang predominantly spoke Mandarin, which illustrated the background of his life as he was born in Hong Kong.
