Last year, Jung Hae In marked a significant milestone as he celebrated the 10th anniversary of his debut. His first male lead role in Something in the Rain, where he portrayed a charismatic young man engaged in a romantic relationship with Son Ye-jin. This role not only solidified his reputation but also garnered him admiration from his fans 'HAEINESS'. His exceptional portrayal has been recognised with accolades at prestigious events, including the 2nd The Seoul Awards, the 6th APAN Star Awards, the 8th APAN Star Awards, the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards, and the 2022 Asian Academy Creative Awards.

Jung Hae In latest drama Love Next Door has achieved remarkable ratings. To honour 'HAEINESS', Jung enthusiastically accepted our invitation to have his charm immortalised in wax. During a meticulous five-hour customisation process in South Korea, Jung Hae In maintained his infectious smile and remarked, "This is so cool! I never imagined I would become a famous attraction. Part of me hopes that my wax figure can exude warm positivity to fans worldwide."

Wade Chang, General Manager of Merlin Entertainments Hong Kong, expressed, "We have an aim to enhance the K-Wave Zone experience, and I'm grateful to Jung Hae In for bringing his dedication to drama to the sitting process. I believe his contribution will greatly promote local tourism and Asian culture.

Jung Hae In's wax figure will soon be exhibited in December this year, alongside fellow Korean stars Lee Jong Suk and Suzy Bae in the K-Wave Zone, inviting guests to immerse themselves in an interactive and culturally enriching experience. Follow us on social media for more updates.
