Popular Rapper Spills Details On How He Started Dating His Singer Girlfriend

Recently, rapper Dok2 personally shared the love story about his public relationship with singer Lee Hi.

He appeared as a guest on a YouTube series and shared the behind-the-scenes story of how they started dating.

We have a long history together. We met through mutuals around 2014 or 2015. We grew close while working on my album, and we almost started dating. But I was very sick, and I didn’t tell Lee Hi.

At that time, he moved to L.A. due to health issues, and they naturally drifted apart as the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

However, they reconnected in London.

I had a show in London, and we started getting back in touch afterward. It felt like everything was flowing naturally.

It turns out that Dok2 was a long-time fan of Lee Hi.

I was a huge fan of hers since the beginning of my debut. I even used to ask people, ‘Isn’t that Lee Hi?’ and always wanted to sing with her.

Although their age gap and long distance were realistic concerns for their relationship.

I am 36, and she is 29, and I was in L.A., while she was in Korea. We couldn’t start our romance right away, so I had the idea to work on music together.

This is how their label, 858 High Recordings, was created.
