Jackson Wang’s dream comes true World’s first wax figure to grace Madame Tussauds Hong Kong next year

HONG KONG, CHINA – Media
OutReach – December 17, 2018 – Madame Tussauds Hong
Kong recently released a series of photos of singer-songwriter Jackson Wang
Ka-Yee going through the sitting process. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Jackson
was named “Hong Kong Tourism Envoy” this year. Having his world’s first wax
figure at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is special significance to both Jackson and
the attraction. The wax figure, which will be personally unveiled by the celebrity,
is slated for a mid-2019 debut.

Ever since he was a child, Jackson had admired his
father, a well-known former Chinese fencer, and hoped to be as successful as he
was. He spoke of visiting Madame Tussauds Hong Kong with his parents when he
was nine, and of wanting to have his own wax figure made after seeing all the
figures of celebrities from home and abroad. Now, at 24, his dream is finally
coming true.

 

Jackson’s sitting process lasted
six hours, and he showed nothing but professionalism. To keep himself in top
condition, he refrained from eating during the whole
process. During the sitting
process, Jackson wrote down the dream he had when he was nine and what brought
him to Madame Tussauds Hong Kong: “Always follow your dream. Be hungry. Never
regret on the choices you made.” After getting his
measurements taken as requested by the team, he asked the staff to teach him
about the wax figure making process, and even asked if they were tired after
small sections of the work was completed. He won over the staff and they had
nothing but praises for him.

 

Jackson’s presence at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is
an identification to his relentless drive and talents. In 2016, he received the
Annual Variety Star Award at Tencent Video Star Awards. He was a guest host at
the 2017 Asian Music Gala and won the MTV Special Award. He then released his
electronic hip-hop singles including Papillon and FENDIMAN,
showcasing his voice to the world. In 2018, he was named The Most Popular Newcomer
of The Year at the Global Chinese Golden Chart Awards and won Choice Next Big
Thing at the Teen Choice Awards, becoming a celebrity with the most Asian followers
on Instagram and taking him yet another step closer to his dreams.
