Lee Hi, who is YG Entertainment's solo artist, has opened up to CEO Yang Hyun Suk's order for not to date.
The singer sat down for an interview with news outlet, MyDaily on November 14. She shared how she felt lonely while taking breaks. She was then asked to date, in which she responded, "Just recently, CEO Yang Hyun Suk allowed Akdong Musician’s Lee Chanhyuk to start dating. However, when I asked ‘What about me?’ I received a negative response. Without giving me the reason, he said ‘If I say you cannot, you cannot.’ Because of that, I could not ask again."
She then went on, "Even when I told him I struggle with expressing my emotions while singing, he said, ‘Indirect experience enables you to express a broad range of feelings as well.’ To Lee Suhyun, he said ‘You are still young, so you cannot date, but I’ll give you my permission when you turn 20.’ It appears I am the only one that cannot [date]. Even the length of my dating ban has not been decided."
Lee Hi is teamed up with Akdong Musician's Lee Su Hyun for a sub-unit, HI SUHYUN and promoting the track "I’m Different" together with iKON's Bobby.
