Korean actor Lee Jun-ho is set to receive his own wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.
According to a press release, the figure is currently in development after a sitting session in South Korea. During this session, experts meticulously recorded detailed measurements of his facial features, hand shapes, posture, expressions, and skin tone to achieve lifelike accuracy.
“It was fascinating to see even the smallest details being recorded. Preparing my wax figure felt like starting a new project, filled with excitement and a desire to do my best,” Jun-ho said.
Wade Chang, general manager of Merlin Entertainments Hong Kong, described the actor as someone who “embodies the essence of both stage and screen,” adding that the figure reflects the global reach of Hallyu.
Jun-ho rose to fame as a member of K-pop group 2PM before debuting into acting, with roles in dramas such as “The Red Sleeve” and “King the Land.” He also starred in the Netflix series “Typhoon Family” and “Cashero.”
Madame Tussauds Hong Kong features wax figures of global and regional icons, including Filipino personalities Manny Pacquiao, Pia Wurtzbach, Catriona Gray, Lea Salonga, Anne Curtis, and Kathryn Bernardo.
