Rapper Dokki revealed the reason he had no choice but to leave Korea.

On the 17th, a video of Dokki appearing as a guest on the podcast "Home Room Show" was uploaded to Dumpound's YouTube channel.

That day, Dokki began by saying, "I left for the United States in December 2018 and have not returned to Korea even once. I am currently living back and forth between Los Angeles and Hawaii."

He confessed, "At the time I released the album 'Beverly 1lls', my condition was so bad that I had extreme thoughts every day. I received treatment for mental health issues, and doctors and counselors told me to quit work immediately and take a break."

He continued, "I even vomited right before going on stage. I took 23 pills a day. Except for the last hour before sleeping, I essentially lived for 23 hours a day relying on medication, and I maintained that lifestyle for five years," recalling the difficult times.

Dokki also spoke about his introverted nature. He said, "My MBTI is INTJ. Every time I take the test, I get an 'I' (introvert) result. It seems that if someone is too introverted, they show an extroverted side to hide that trait. I used too much energy trying to show that side."

He further explained, "The reason I left Korea was not money, but health and freedom. At the time, I was at the peak of my career and had contracts worth millions of dollars, but I had no choice but to leave (Korea) after trusting the advice of a psychiatrist."

He added, "Currently, I am not taking medication and have regained my health in the sunlight and nature. I am working on music with Lia."

Meanwhile, Dokki debuted in 2005 and gained fame by appearing on Mnet hip-hop variety shows such as 'Show Me The Money'. He is in an open relationship with singer Lia, who co-founded the label Eight O Eight High Recordings.
