Danny Wee, 32, represents a minority within the fanbase of South Korean boy band BigBang, where women reportedly comprise about 90 percent of their followers. Despite this demographic trend, Wee has been a devoted supporter of the group for nearly two decades, first discovering their music through the singles "Lies" (2007) and "Haru Haru" (2008). He credits these early hits for drawing him in, listening repeatedly on his MP3 player until he could sing along to nearly all their songs, despite not formally learning Korean.

Wee’s fandom deepened when he saw BigBang perform at the Coachella music festival in April 2026, marking the group’s first stage appearance together in eight years. He described the experience as emotionally moving. His admiration for the band extends beyond music; G-Dragon’s fashion sense inspired Wee’s career in luxury retail. He owns several pieces of jewelry associated with G-Dragon, including a Buccellati ring and a necklace from Jacob & Co., which he wears daily.

Now a working professional with greater disposable income, Wee has sought to expand his collection of BigBang merchandise, often queuing as early as 4 a.m. to secure limited releases. His memorabilia includes multiple generations of light sticks, such as the 20th-anniversary edition, for which he keeps a dedicated storage cabinet.

When BigBang announced their XX : Cosmos world tour in July 2026, Wee initially felt stressed by the challenge of securing tickets and arranging accommodations. However, he successfully obtained tickets for concerts in Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam, and even traveled to Goyang, South Korea, for the tour’s opening show in August. Despite missing out on a last-minute ticket, he camped outside the venue, relishing the atmosphere and live sounds from fellow fans.

Looking ahead to the upcoming concert weekend, Wee is anticipating his first time seeing the full group perform live together. He playfully expressed hope that Taeyang might follow the tradition of taking off his shirt during the show, and that the event would feature fireworks, similar to previous concerts in South Korea. For Wee, attending these concerts is a way to reconnect with the enthusiasm of his youth, even as he moves beyond his teenage years.

He emphasized his long-term commitment to the band, comparing enduring fandom to a lasting romantic relationship: "If a fan can last 20 years, it’s like loving a wife or husband. It’s hard to cut off."
