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.
— Dok2
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.
— Dok2
This is how their label, 858 High Recordings, was created.
