Talented actor Im Si-wan made a surprising appearance to witness the unveiling of the world’s first wax figure, marking the arrival of the Asian new generation idol trend, a charm that is unstoppable. Renowned South Korean actor Im Si-wan, who has won numerous awards, unveiled his wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong in mid-June 2024, becoming the latest Korean celebrity to join the ‘K-Wave Zone’. This is the first time Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has held a wax figure unveiling event in South Korea, specially inviting the talented actor Im Si-wan to present his wax figure to the public. Im Si-wan debuted as a member of the boy band ZE:A, later transitioning into acting and gaining fame on the silver screen. With his excellent acting skills, he has successfully portrayed many characters and won the favor of audiences worldwide. Now fans can take photos with the lifelike wax figure of Im Si-wan at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. The wax figure will be displayed alongside other well-known Korean celebrities such as Choi Si-won, Kim Soo-hyun, Kim Woo-bin, and Bae Suzy. Filipino cross-media star Anne Curtis is about to join Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, bringing her unique charm. Anne will be part of the ‘Charm of Hong Kong’ star lineup, becoming the first Filipino actor and TV host to enter this area. At that time, Anne’s first personal wax figure will be placed in the ‘Charm of Hong Kong’ exhibition area alongside many well-known Hollywood stars, including Nicole Kidman, Robert Pattinson, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Chris Hemsworth, highlighting her significant celebrity status. Two international male gods gather at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, releasing double charm for close-up photo opportunities. Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has always spared no effort in the development of international tourism. Today, it proudly announces that two international male gods have joined the museum—Canadian global singer Justin Bieber and Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, spreading their charm across the city and inviting fans of both music and film to take close-up photos with these two handsome men. Justin Bieber’s pop-up at the Peak and a fun-filled gathering with fans at the Sky Terrace 428 dressed in minimalist black fashion, Justin Bieber’s wax figure made a surprise appearance at the Sky Terrace 428 on the Peak, meeting with numerous tourists up close. Visitors at the scene were fully engaged, singing along with the famous singer Justin Bieber’s hit songs such as ‘Baby’, ‘Stay’, and ‘Love Yourself’, creating a very lively and high-spirited atmosphere.
Fans who arrived on the scene couldn’t stop praising the realism and authenticity of the wax figures, eager to take photos and capture the moment. Justin Bieber’s wax figure, dressed in street-style black leather pants and casual white sneakers, is modeled after his appearance at the 2022 Grammy Awards, reflecting his recent low-key style. The wax figure will be displayed in the museum’s exhibition area, accompanied by brand-new interactive lighting installations that make fans feel as if they are stepping onto a music stage to perform alongside their idols, experiencing the thrill of being the center of attention. Another wax figure, Chris Hemsworth, presents a charming contrast to his on-screen persona. Instead of his modern and stylish movie looks, he appears in a powder blue suit, showcasing his romantic and masculine charm. The simple outfit perfectly captures Chris Hemsworth’s sunny and relaxed style. To complement his wax figure, a unique background installation has been created—a colorful, distinctive artificial flower wall for photo opportunities, generating a vibrant and romantic atmosphere that is irresistible. Movie fans will have the opportunity to meet the ‘god of charm’ in the ‘Charming Fragrant River’ exhibition area within the museum.
