Rapper Dok2 and singer Lee Hi coolly acknowledged their dating by posting on Lovestagram rather than issuing an official statement, and because of reactions from close friends there is speculation that they may effectively be preparing for marriage.
On the 28th, web magazine HIP reported the dating rumors about Dok2 and Lee Hi through its official account.
Dok2 and Lee Hi recently co-founded the label "808 HI RECORDINGS (Eit O Eit Hi Recordings)" and plan to pursue both work and love at the same time. "808 HI RECORDINGS" is a hip-hop and R&B–based label that plans to carry out various projects including music production, concert planning, and video content production, and will also work on discovering new artists.
Meanwhile, the two released a duet single "You & Me" along with the founding of the label. "You & Me" is a song that captures the feelings and energy felt in a long-distance relationship and is said to contain the two artists' narrative.
The two acknowledged their relationship in their own way instead of issuing a separate official statement. Lee Hi and Dok2 each referred to the other on social media as "MY MAN" and "MY LADY," respectively, and Dok2 also expressed affection by leaving the comment "엄청사랑" with a heart emoji on Lee Hi's post.
In addition, on a live broadcast their natural physical affection continued, and Lee Hi and Dok2 acknowledged they were dating by posting several couple photos on social media. They first met on MBC's "Infinite Challenge" in 2016, and afterward Dok2 participated in a feature on one of Lee Hi's songs, continuing their musical exchange.
They reportedly began dating at the end of 2022 and maintained a relationship of more than five years by the count of calendar years. In addition, Dok2's close rapper friends Sleepy and DinDin liked the report of the dating rumors to show their support for the relationship, and Sleepy left a comment directly saying "Let's get married" to back the couple's move.
Actually, along with Sleepy's reaction, the fact that the two directly established a label and that they began a public relationship after a long secret relationship has led netizens to speculate that the couple may be considering marriage in the future.<
