1. A method of controlling an electronic parking brake (EPB) of a vehicle, the method comprising:
determining, by a controller, whether the vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition for entering a seized release mode of the EPB;
implementing, by the controller, a seized release mode of the EPB, in response that the controller concludes that the vehicle satisfies the predetermined condition for entering the seized release mode of the EPB; and
outputting, by the controller, a guide message for a warning and an inspection associated with seizing of the EPB on a display device,
wherein the vehicle includes a first wheel and a second wheel, and
wherein implementing the seized release mode of the EPB includes:
generating a braking force to the first wheel of the vehicle through a brake caliper of the first wheel which is a non-driving wheel and to which a function of the EPB is not applied; and
alternately repeating deactivation and activation attempts of a function of the EPB of a brake caliper of the second wheel which is a driving wheel and to which the EPB is applied.
