All of this! Plus (not trying to be nitpicky or criticize you), he did more than "make it seem like it was a push scooter", he explicitly used the term "kickboard" when he was actually on a seated scooter. He didn't use a generic term (if one exists), he straight up lied in writing.

Can't wait to hear who actually swapped out his supposed kickboard for a seated scooter (à la him claiming the Jim Jones speech in one of his supposedly self-produced solo songs was put in there by another producer). He is allergic to taking responsibility for his own actions at this point and it's really disappointing to see his fans try their best to excuse this. DUIs should never be excused. If someone is still going to be his fan after this incident, they should at least acknowledge the fact that he did something that could have seriously hurt, if not killed, someone (possibly even himself).

Honestly, it's especially disheartening to see this kind of response when female idols get cancelled all the time over incidents that are less serious (and typically fewer in number), including by international fans of BTS and other boy groups. I fully expect that most of his fandom will stick around, the BTS members are teflon at this point, but surely caring about your fave means actually caring that they're taking care of themselves, including not driving under the influence?

Oh, no worries! When I say 'push scooter,' I mean like a non motorized one. One where it moves bc you are using your legs to move it. Like a Razor scooter.

But yes, he 100% lied and got caught. And he still is lying. A lot of other stuff about his story isn't really adding up.
