As the latest addition to its notable K-Wave Zone, his first-ever wax figure invites guests from around the globe to step into the enchanting world of romantic K-dramas.

A Star Moment in Detail｜Craftsmanship, Technology and Personal Touch

Showcasing Jung Hae In's signature charm, his newly unveiled wax figure is dressed in an elegant black double-breasted Dolce & Gabbana suit with silk lapels, complemented by a white shirt and black Chelsea boots all personally selected by the actor. With both hands forming a heart at his chest and a warm, inviting smile, the figure captures the approachable and friendly essence that his fans 'HAEINESS' adore. Every detail, from hair colour and skin tone to the suit's silhouette, lining, and brooch, was meticulously crafted based on precise measurements taken during a five-hour sitting, the acclaimed craftsmanship and dedication to realism for which Madame Tussauds is renowned.
