In the post, the rapper explained he had "violated the road traffic act" when he had driven home in Seoul "thinking it was a close distance" and "[forgot] that you can't use an electric scooter under the influence".

"I fell while parking the electric scooter in front of my house, and there was a police officer nearby," he wrote.

"I was given a breathalyser test and subsequently had my license revoked and was fined."
