For some fans, it might not be enough to see their idol in-person at concerts and events. In what ways could they get even closer?

Hong Kong-born pop star Jackson Wang, who debuted in the South Korean boy group Got7 and is the founder of creative brand Team Wang Design, recently collaborated with American singer-songwriter Pharrell Williams' brand Billionaire Boys Club and the latter's auction platform Joopiter, to create The Jackson Wang Experience.

Fans could bid for three slots — with an expected bidding price of between US$10,000 and US$15,000 (S$13,000 and $19,000) each — in the segment A Day in the Life of Jackson Wang to spend a day with him and see him at work.

Despite the hefty price, which doesn't include accommodation and travelling expenses, all three slots were taken up during the bidding period from June 22 to July 2.

On Joopiter's website, two winning bids are at US$40,625 (S$50,000) each, while the last bid was won at US$37,500.

One of the slots for A Day in the Life of Jackson Wang is believed to be won by a Chinese fan who lives in Hong Kong.

She shared the good news in a Xiaohongshu post on July 3: "This is the highlight of my life! I can meet Jackson Wang! Tonight is an exciting day for many Jackys (Jackson's fandom)! The countdown is even harder to endure than the college entrance exams!

"As I wished, I bid successfully for A Day with Jackson Wang! When I received the email, I was so excited I wanted to cry! ...

"I am not Jackson's fan for the longest time and not someone who follows him most devotedly, but there is no need to compare these, because we are Jackys who will accompany and support each other to protect Jackson. I will set off with everyone's love for him!"

According to Joopiter's website, successful bidders could join Jackson as he designs and conceptualises ideas for Team Wang Design and get a glimpse of upcoming prototypes and collaborations.

They could also join him on the set of his music video and get behind-the-scenes experience of him bringing his creative concepts to life, and also join him in the final rehearsal of his upcoming tour where they get to watch his performance first-hand.

Besides spending a day with him in his life, interested parties could also bid for a biker jacket and a long-sleeved T-shirt from Team Wang Design and Billionaire Boys Club's 2025 capsule collection Life is a Race, with both signed by Jackson and Pharrell.

The biker jacket was auctioned off at US$3,250.

The signed long-sleeved T-shirt was sold to a Chinese fan for US$1,600, who shared the win in a Xiaohongshu post on July 2.

Proceeds from the clothing sales go to Black Ambition, a non-profit initiative founded by Pharrell to support high-growth startups led by Black and Hispanic founders with capital and resources.

Jackson's new album Magic Man 2 is set to release on July 18.
