Eerie Sights with Only Legs Left... What Happened to the Baseball Player Statue in the Middle of the Night?

A statue of Kim Sung-han erected in Gwangju, South Jeolla Province, has been damaged to the point where only the legs remain.

And apparently, this is not the first time.

A statue with only the lower part of the legs remaining is a statue of former Haitai Tigers player Kim Sung-han, erected on Fashion Street in Yongbong-dong, Buk-gu, Gwangju.

It was severely damaged like this in the early hours of the 10th.

After checking CCTV footage near the merchants' association, a man was captured getting out of the passenger seat of a car and approaching the statue.

Although the actual act of vandalism was not captured on film, the man voluntarily reported himself to the district office, claiming that he had vandalized it while drunk.

Installed in 2020 as part of a Fashion Street specialization project, the statue has been damaged twice before by intoxicated individuals, such as having its baseball bat broken in 2023 and 2024.
