That is absolutely true.
However, I love that statue. I think that is the masterpiece of JND in terms of hyper-realism despite the fact that the likeness is a little off.
I know nothing about Korean cinema and Kim Hye-Su. So, I didn't even bother to compare it to the actress. Likeness doesn't mean much to me for this piece.
To me, it is just a sculpture of an East Asian woman sitting on a table in the hyper-realistic style similar to some life-sized sculptures one sees in galleries and museums but in a small scale.
This particular statue feels more like art to me than a commercial statue by JND.
