Visit Korea Special VIP Tour [Day 2-6]

Visit Korea VIP Special Invitation Tour : Grevin Museum Seoul | by Meheartseoul
It's not an everyday thing that you can meet K-pop stars or Hollywood celebrities. However, now it's made possible after Grevin opened wax Museum in Seoul.

 To be frank, I didn't know that Grevin opened its first museum in Asia. 

Thanks to KTO for arranging this opportunity to step inside this famous beeswax museum from France. FYI, Grevin Seoul is the 4th museum in worldwide after Paris, Prague, and Montreal.

Ok, let's go in to check who were inside this museum.

According to the information, there are 80 wax figures of Hallyu stars, Hollywood celebrities, sport champions, Historical influential people, and artists. My total pictures just not not tally with the number of the statues. Just a gentle warning that you'll be seeing lots of photos in this posting~! ;P

 The tour start from 4th floor. However, we're shocked to see
the shadow of man wearing Gat (Korean traditional hat) behind the door.

Did Do Min-joon teleported wrongly to Grevin Museum instead of university museum where he donated Yi Hwa's Binyeo?
