Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, a brand under Merlin Entertainments Group, officially announced the creation of a new wax figure of Lee Jun-ho, a Korean actor who represents the Republic of Korea and a global artist known for both popularity and media appeal. Lee Jun-ho, known for his outstanding talent and unique charisma, has captivated fans around the world as a K-pop artist and actor.
Lee Jun-ho debuted as a member of the K-pop group 2PM and has continued a wide range of activities, moving between singing and acting. In particular, through steady growth and expansion as an actor, he has established himself as a representative Hallyu artist with global fans in both music and acting, and his deep performances in recent works have led him to be regarded as one of the most trusted actors of his generation.
Recently, Lee Jun-ho showed more mature acting through the tvN drama Typhoon Family, and in the Netflix original series Cashero he met global viewers and further expanded his presence on the global stage. He has also announced a new start with O3 Collective, which aims for a team-based brand system with three pillars: artist (One), content (Original) and management (Orbit).
Body measurements were taken in Korea for the creation of the wax figure, and Lee Jun-ho, known for his calm and earnest demeanor, participated in all processes, which lasted about four hours, with a serious but curious attitude. He also said, "The process of recording even the smallest details of the body was truly fascinating and interesting. When I encounter a new work I feel excitement and at the same time a desire to do well, and preparing my wax figure today definitely feels like starting a new work."
The body measurement process during Madame Tussauds' wax figure creation is a core step that precisely measures the face contour, hand shapes, posture and expressions as well as skin tone and fine details across the body, and it is an important process to complete a wax figure that bears an uncanny resemblance to the real person
Wade Chang, general manager of Merlin Entertainments Hong Kong, said, "Lee Jun-ho is an artist who captures fans around the world by encompassing the charms of both stage and screen," and added, "His wax figure will go beyond merely reproducing his appearance and will become an icon symbolizing the dynamic cultural phenomenon of Hallyu in this era."
