South Korea's popular singer and actress Suzy will be displayed as a wax figure at the Madame Tussauds museum in Hong Kong, her agency, JYP Entertainment, said Monday.
Suzy, a member of the girl group miss A, will be the first South Korean female entertainer to see her life-size wax figure at the museum in early August, the agency said.
Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is part of the renowned chain of wax museums founded by Marie Tussaud of France. The Hong Kong branch houses nearly 100 wax figures of internationally known personalities, with Asian figures taking up more than a third of the total.
The wax museum set up the "Hallyu (K-pop wave) zone last year to house the wax figures of South Korean male celebrities such as Bae Yong-joon and Song Seung-heon.
