Merlin Entertainments’ Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has unveiled a new wax figure of Gong Jun, one of Mainland China’s rising stars whose breakthrough role in the 2021 wuxia drama “Word of Honor” earned him international recognition. His wax figure now takes its place in the attraction’s Fashion Zone, joining a lineup of global icons from both East and West.
From period drama hero to fashion favorite
Since his debut in 2015, Gong Jun has gained a loyal following through roles in dramas such as “The Legend of Anle,” “Begin Again,” and “Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact.” But it was “Word of Honor” — which racked up more than a billion views in China — that made him a household name and introduced him to audiences across Southeast Asia.
Off-screen, Gong Jun has carved a niche as a fashion figure. With his effortless charm and distinct personal style, he has made numerous appearances at international fashion weeks, representing the fresh, bold attitude of a new generation of Chinese stars.
Behind the scenes: meticulous artistry
Creating Gong Jun’s wax figure was no small feat. Madame Tussauds’ team spent more than five hours capturing his exact iris color, hair texture, and body proportions through 3D scanning and manual measurements. His patience and professionalism impressed the team, resulting in a final look that blends youthful charm with refined sophistication.
The wax figure, styled in a vibrant pink double-breasted suit, shows Gong Jun smiling and waving in a welcoming pose. Every detail — from his facial contours to the subtle lift of his lips — has been crafted to reflect his essence. Fans can now interact with the figure in the Fashion Zone of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.
East meets West in an immersive experience
“Gong Jun is a talented artist with both mass appeal and global vision. His image aligns perfectly with Madame Tussauds Hong Kong’s mission to connect Eastern and Western cultures. This collaboration not only brings new energy to the attraction but also strengthens our engagement with younger audiences,” said Wade Chang, general manager of Merlin Entertainments Hong Kong.
Gong Jun joins the ranks of other contemporary icons featured at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, including supermodel Liu Wen and Taylor Swift.
In 2024, the wax figure of “Crash Landing on You” star Hyun Bin joined Madame Tussauds Hong Kong’s K-Wave zone. Earlier this year, “Business Proposal” and “KPop Demon Hunters” Ahn Hyo-seop followed suit.
Meanwhile, to enhance the experience, the Fashion Zone offers an AI-powered interactive photo station, allowing guests to create unique snapshots with Gong Jun’s wax figure.
Special evening offer for fans and visitors
From September 25 to December 31, 2025, guests who visit after 6:45 p.m. can enjoy the “Evening Combo” package starting at HK$250. The deal includes admission to Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, a return Peak Tram ride, and entry to Sky Terrace 428, making it a perfect way to enjoy a night-time adventure under the stars.
