MANILA, Philippines — Canadian-Korean actor-singer Ahn Hyo-seop will soon be getting his own likeness in Madame Tussauds, the latest K-drama star to have a wax figure at the popular attraction.
Hyo-seop's figure will stand in the K-Wave Zone of Madame Tussauds' Hong Kong branch, which also houses figures of Korean stars Kim Soo-hyun, Suzy Bae, Lee Jong-suk, and most recently, Hyun Bin.

"We are honored to collaborate with this energetic celebrity and hope all guests will support the K-Wave Zone's development in the forthcoming year," he added.
The unveiling of Hyo-seop's figure will be during the first half of 2025, just as the actor marks his 10th anniversary in the Korean entertainment business.
