The sculpture, which was installed by the Buk-gu Office in Gwangju as part of a fashion street specialization project in 2020, was damaged in May 2023 when a drunk broke his bat.

The Buk-gu Office repaired it again on the 27th of last month, about a year and five months later, but it was confirmed that someone broke the bat less than a month later.

The Fashion Street Merchants Association plans to ask the police for an investigation. The Buk-gu Office also plans to install a notice board to warn the surrounding area after restoration.
