2PM's Nichkhun will now be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with famous celebrities from all over the world — or at least, his wax doppelganger will.
On December 16th, representatives of JYP Entertainment revealed, "The wax figure of 2PM's Nichkhun has been on display at the Madame Tussauds in Bangkok since November 29th."
Madame Tussards is known as a popular tourist attraction with bevy of star-studded wax figures, such as Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Obama, and George Clooney. The wax figures are so detailed that each cost about $150,000 USD to produce.
Nichkhun received the honor of being the second Hallyu star to be included in the exhibit; the first was actor Bae Yong Joon, whose wax figure is on display in Hong Kong. Nichkhun visited Bangkok on December 7th to participate in his wax figure production and was joined by hundreds of fans waiting to see the progress.
Because of 2PM's Japanese schedules, he wasn't able to participate in the launch event. However, he sent a special video message to the museum to express his gratitude.
Representatives of JYP Entertainment stated, "With K-Pop being loved all around the world, it's an extremely meaningful event to have 2PM's Nichkhun stand alongside popular international figures at Madame Tussauds. He'll be able to indirectly meet with more fans through this wax figure, and we believe that it was because of his fans' love that such an event became possible."
