A new year brings a new milestone for Lee Jun-ho.
Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, under the Merlin Entertainments group, announced that a wax figure of the South Korean star is officially in the works, marking another global achievement for the multitalented idol-actor.
Since debuting with 2PM, Lee Jun-ho has evolved into one of Hallyu’s most respected leading men. From commanding the stage as a K-pop performer to delivering emotionally layered portrayals onscreen, he has built a reputation as a trusted actor of his generation. His recent projects, including the tvN drama “Typhoon Family” and the Netflix original series “Cashero,” further expanded his global reach and showcased his artistic maturity.
Adding to his fresh chapter in 2026, Lee Jun-ho also announced a new beginning with O3 Collective, a team-based brand system built on three core pillars: Artist (One), Content (Original), and Management (Orbit).
The wax figure sitting took place in South Korea, where Junho spent four meticulous hours working closely with the creative team. Known for his calm and sincere demeanor, he approached the process with curiosity and professionalism. “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,” he shared, describing the experience as similar to preparing for a new project.
At Madame Tussauds, every contour, expression, posture, and skin tone is carefully measured to ensure lifelike precision.
Wade Chang, general manager of Merlin Entertainments Hong Kong, praised the star, saying Lee Junho embodies the essence of both stage and screen.
“His wax figure will serve as a striking symbol of the vibrant cultural phenomenon that is the Hallyu today,” Chang said.
As fans count down to the official reveal, this wax figure stands as a symbol of Lee Jun-ho’s enduring influence — from concert arenas to international streaming platforms, and now, to one of the world’s most famous museums.
