On the 18th, rapper Dok2 opened up about his longtime admiration for his girlfriend Lee Hi and the journey of how their relationship developed over the years in the episode of 'Home Room Show' released on Youtube.
TV Daily reported that in this episode, Dok2 recalled:
"We first met around 2014 or 2015 through mutual acquaintances. We've known each other for quite a long time. We grew closer while working on music together and almost ended up dating back then. At the time, I wasn't in good health, but I didn't tell Lee Hi about it."
Dok2 explained that he later moved to Los Angeles and due to COVID-19 pandemic, the two naturally drifted apart. He also revealed that around 2017 or 2018, when Lee Hi was signed to YG Entertainment, he had attempted to recruit her to his own label, but the plan fell trhough because of his health issue.
In particular, Dok2 drew attention by confessing that he had been a fan of Lee Hi's music for a long time. He shared:
"I've been a huge fan of Lee Hi since she debuted. I used to go around asking people, 'Do you know Lee Hi?' I've always wanted to make music with her someday. That's how our connection kept going."
As time passed, the two grew close again after meeting through a performance in London. Dok2 recalled, "We started getting back in touch after the concert, and things just flowed naturally." He also spoke about the challenges they faced due to their different circumstances, saying:
"I'm 36 and she's 29. I was living in LA, while she was in Korea. We had to make some important decisions. During that process, I came up with the idea that we should work on music together."
Currently, the couple co-founded 808 HI RECORDINGS and are active as musical partners. In March, they publicly showcased their affection for one another by releasing their collaboration single, 'You & Me.'
