In January, Lee Hi changed her company name to “808 HI RECORDINGS.” While “Hi” is part of her own name, the number 808 holds special meaning for Dok2, as he has incorporated it into the names of his labels and brands.
The couple is now said to be spending time together in the United States. However, Dok2’s side has not fully confirmed the relationship, stating that details are still being checked due to the time difference.
Amid the dating news, Dok2’s past controversies have resurfaced. In 2022, he was listed as a high-value tax delinquent but later paid off the full amount of unpaid taxes. He was also previously involved in a legal dispute with a U.S.-based jewelry company, which he ultimately lost.
Despite this, the two are moving forward with both their relationship and music. They are set to release a duet track titled “You & Me,” an R&B hip-hop song that reportedly reflects their shared story.
