- Has he paid his health insurance premiums yet? He better.
- Dok2 debuted really young, so he was real coddled by his fellow artists and his fans in the hiphop scene.
- Like… For real?
- Pay your taxes first.
- Damn.
- Oh………
- Lee Hi, will you please work on album?
- Wow, this is seriously shocking. Why would she…?
- I want him to pay even more in taxes now… Also, I’m shocked too? I really didn’t realize Dok2 was born in 1990.
- Wow, this is shocking.
- Lee Hi, this really ain’t it.
This reaction appears to stem largely from Dok2’s past controversies and long-standing public image, which continue to follow him despite the passage of time. Many commenters referenced his history directly, framing their criticism around the idea that his reputation makes him an unsuitable partner. Comments expressing disappointment, concern, or even frustration toward her have dominated the discourse.
