SEOUL -- A drunken woman faces an investigation for knocking off the statue of Black Panther, a superhero from a Hollywood blockbuster movie, according to police.  
 
The statue in the southern port city of Busan was toppled to the ground on Saturday with the back of its head and feet damaged. A 24-year-old woman called police a day later to confess that she knocked it off while taking a selfie with friends. She allegedly cited a memory blackout.

Walt Disney built two Black Panther statues earlier this year to commemorate a  filming spot in Busan. The blockbuster movie garnered 5.3 million moviegoers in South Korea. The other Black Panther statue was damaged in March when a 32-year-old drunken man kicked and shattered it.
