Rapper Dok2 (35) and singer Lee Hi (29) are rumored to be dating.
On the 28th, web magazine 'HIP' reported through its official account that the two are in a relationship. The couple reportedly went public with their relationship alongside the release of their first single 'You & Me' under their jointly established label '808 HI RECORDINGS'.
The new track 'You & Me' is characterized by its slow, deep R&B and hip-hop sound, candidly expressing the duo's relationship and emotions. The song will be available on various online music platforms at 6 PM today.
Recently, Lee Hi concluded her exclusive contract with AOMG Entertainment. The agency announced the contract termination on its official SNS on the 13th. Prior to their duet release, the pair co-founded the hip-hop and R&B label '808 HI RECORDINGS', marking a new beginning.
Dok2 has been a prominent figure in the Korean hip-hop scene since the mid-2000s. Lee Hi gained popularity after finishing as the runner-up on SBS's audition program 'K-pop Star'. Dok2 was included in the National Tax Service's list of 6,940 habitual tax delinquents in 2023. He eventually paid off his overdue taxes, totaling approximately 672 million won, by 2025.
The news has sparked mixed reactions online, with comments like "I thought today was April Fool's Day," "Never imagined this duo," and "Looking forward to the music," alongside more critical voices questioning, "Why is Lee Hi with someone controversial?" and "Why a habitual tax delinquent?"
