Kim Hyun Joong at Madame Tussauds

The wax figure of Kim Hyun Joong is based on the way he looked at his concert in May 2012. Kim Hyun Joong visited total of eight cities in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and Thailand, and performed for approximately 40,000 fans.

Kim Hyun Joong’s wax figure was sculpted after he completed a sitting in 2012 and is wearing clothes personally donated from the star which he wore on his 2012 tour of Asia. To create this wax figure, 500 different body measurements of Kim Hyun Joong were made (August 2012). It took four months and required continuous help and recommendations from Kim Hyun Joong’s agency. It was later revealed that it had cost almost 200,000,000 won (approx. 200,000 USD)

Meanwhile, Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong was releasing his 3rd Japanese single called ‘Tonight’ on June 5th.

While the wax figure visited Sydney, it was placed on the viewing platform on SKYWALK at the Sydney Tower Eye. Many photos were taken, of women giving him a kiss, with Sydney in the background.

The marketing manager of Madame Tussauds in Busan announced, “There are 13 Madame Tussauds in the world, and the increase in the number of Korean wax figures represent the increased interest in Korean stars by the rest of the world. Kim Hyun Joong was a perfect candidate. He had recently completed his Asian Tour successfully, and have ranked number one in the Oricon Chart with his album as well.”

The wax figures of Kim Hyun Joong and other celebrities were displayed in Busan until March 2013.
