Madame Tussauds Hong Kong to Unveil Wax Figure of K-Pop Star Lee Junho

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has officially announced the creation of a new wax figure of singer and actor Lee Junho.

Lee Junho, who debuted as a member of the K-POP group 2PM, has successfully expanded his career as both a singer and an actor. He has established himself as a leading Hallyu artist with a global fanbase, thanks to his consistent growth and expansion as an actor. His recent performances have earned him recognition as one of the most trusted actors of his generation.

Recently, Lee Junho showcased his matured acting skills in the tvN drama 'Taepung Sangsa' and expanded his global presence through the Netflix original series 'Cashero.' He also announced a new beginning with 'O3 Collective,' a team-based brand system focusing on Artist (One), Content (Original), and Management (Orbit).

For the creation of the wax figure, a sitting session was conducted in Korea. Known for his calm and diligent demeanor, Lee Junho participated in the four-hour process with a serious yet curious attitude. He expressed, "The process of recording even the slightest details of the body was truly fascinating and intriguing. I feel the same excitement and desire to do well as when I start a new project, and preparing for my wax figure felt just like that."

The sitting process is a crucial step in Madame Tussauds' wax figure creation, involving precise measurements of facial contours, hand shapes, posture, expressions, skin tone, and minute body details to create a remarkably lifelike wax figure.

Wade Chang, General Manager of Merlin Entertainments Hong Kong, stated, "Lee Junho captivates fans worldwide with his charm on both stage and screen. His wax figure will not only replicate his appearance but also symbolize the dynamic cultural phenomenon of Hallyu in this era."

The unveiling schedule and latest updates on the wax figure can be found on Madame Tussauds Hong Kong's official website and social media channels.
