Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, a brand under the Merlin Entertainments Group, is delighted to announce the debut of acclaimed Korean film and television superstar Hyun Bin at the attraction where visitors can hear his heartbeat as they approach the figure. This talented and charming actor will join the extensive collection of Korean celebrity wax figures in Madame Tussauds Hong Kong as the newest addition to the world’s largest K-Wave zone.
Hyun Bin is known for starring in several well-loved Korean TV series like My Lovely Sam Soon and Secret Garden. Crash Landing on You stands out as his most popular work, reaching audiences across Asia as a cultural icon for Korean culture. For this role, he received several awards including a Baeksang Arts Award for Most Popular Actor and an APAN Star Award. Partnering with Madame Tussauds Hong Kong marks another milestone in his career.
Known for frequently changing his look to match his roles, Hyun Bin’s wax figure portrays him in a sophisticated grey suit, right hand casually tucked into his pocket, exuding a refined and gentlemanly presence. The figure meticulously captures his deep gaze and distinctive facial features. Standing beside the Hyun Bin wax work gives you a sense of being dwarfed by the life-like figure.
With surprises prepared for fans, Hyun Bin’s wax figure is placed in a Myeongdong street scene. What’s even more exciting is that as visitors approach the wax figure, they can hear Hyun Bin’s heartbeat become louder. It represents a lifelike moment in a romantic Korean drama, bringing the story to life right in front of them. To mark the unveiling of Hyun Bin’s wax figure, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has launched a giveaway contest across its official social media platforms. Visitors are urged to reenact a romantic K-drama moment with Hyun Bin’s wax figure and share a post on their own social channels. Participants will have the chance to win a pair of round-trip tickets to South Korea, sponsored by Hong Kong Airlines.
