South Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun is set to see his own wax figure on display at the Hong Kong branch of Madame Tussauds -- the world famous London-based wax museum that displays waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars and sports stars -- local media reported.

“As Kim Soo-hyun has boosted his profile as a top-rated Asian actor with his impressive acting and talent, many of his fans will be glad to see his wax figure displayed in our museum,” said an official of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.

Kim had reportedly visited the museum to have his body measured for his wax figure. It is likely to be displayed in late April, with the exact date yet to be confirmed.

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has a collection of wax figures featuring stars such as Lee Min-ho, Jackie Chan and the Beatles.
