Rapper Dok2 and Singer Lee Hi's New Track Struggles on Music Charts Despite Relationship Reveal
As of 9 PM on the 16th, 'You & Me' by Dok2 and Lee Hi has failed to enter the real-time chart rankings on major music platforms like Melon and Bugs.
The duo announced their new song and the establishment of their joint label '808 HI RECORDINGS' on the 28th of last month. However, three weeks post-release, the song's chart presence remains minimal.
On the day of the song's release, the pair revealed that they met during a 2016 appearance on MBC's 'Infinite Challenge' and have been dating for five years. They are currently residing in the U.S., working on music together.
Lee Hi shared on her personal social media, referring to Dok2 as 'my one and only Dok2' and 'my man Dok2.' Dok2 responded with, "To my woman, and celebrating my birthday. Is everyone listening well? More songs are coming." They also shared photos of themselves holding hands and hugging, confirming their relationship.
Public interest in their relationship has not translated into chart success. Given that this is their first project after establishing an independent label following five years of dating, the current performance is considered underwhelming.
