In an interview with OSEN, Lee Hi said she would like to meet SHINee's Jonghyun at least once to thank him for giving her such a beautiful song like "Breathe." 

Surprisingly enough, Lee Hi initially had no idea that "Breath" was Jonghyun's making. She mused, "I didn't know that it was Jonghyun's song. I heard it for the first time while working with Tablo. I told him that I wanted to sing a song that comforted people and he let me hear "Breathe." Even as I was recording for it, I didn't know it was Jonghyun's song. I'm so very thankful. There are people who might raise their eyebrows but I think the lyrics and the melody move the listeners' hearts. I think we can work on a more upbeat song next time."

When asked whether she ever met Jonghyun in person Lee Hi answered, "I communicated with him through Tablo. I wanted to meet him but I didn't get a chance to. I want to tell him 'thank you' [for the song]. I plan to go on his radio show sometime soon."
