Beomhan Opens Up About Homelessness
Solo artist Beomhan has revealed that he was evicted about a year and a half ago and subsequently lived in his car for two to three months. In a live broadcast reposted in part by Koreaboo, which first reported the disclosure, he said he used a gym to shower during that period and that the experience left him dealing with severe mental health difficulties.
The admission is rare among active K-pop figures, where housing instability and financial hardship are seldom discussed publicly. Beomhan, who performs as a solo artist, said the situation was worsened by hate videos and that two staff members sent him money, which he described as the only thing that kept him alive. He also said he finished his album while homeless and that a deal with iHeartRadio later improved his circumstances.
The Details of His Account
According to the report, Beomhan said he was evicted roughly eighteen months ago and spent two to three months living in his car. He described relying on a gym for showers and said his mental health was already fragile before the eviction. He has previously spoken about mental health struggles dating back to his time as a trainee under a former agency, and this live broadcast continued that pattern of disclosure.
He said two staff members sent him money during the period when he was homeless, and he credited them with helping him survive. He also said hate videos contributed to his mental health issues at the time. The source reporting does not specify the nature of the hate videos or where they were posted, and K-Beats has not independently verified those claims.
Beomhan said he felt the situation was “what he deserved” for his actions, a statement that ties the disclosure to earlier controversies. He added that he has been slowly getting back on his feet and now has a job. The live broadcast did not provide a precise timeline beyond the approximate eighteen months he mentioned, and the source does not give further details about his current housing situation.
The Allegations That Preceded the Disclosure
Earlier this year, Beomhan was accused of several things, including abusing an ex-girlfriend, according to Koreaboo’s reporting. The source also references previous reports in which a former staff member made claims about his behaviour. Those are allegations; they have not been proven in a court of law, and K-Beats is not in a position to verify them independently.
The source article does not state whether Beomhan has responded to those specific allegations, and this live broadcast focused on his housing situation and mental health rather than revisiting the accusations directly. For readers, the disclosure arrives against a backdrop of controversy, which shapes how the news is likely to be received. It is possible to report both the seriousness of the allegations and the reality of his stated hardship without treating either as a simple justification for the other.
Mental Health and the Solo Artist Experience
Beomhan has been open about his mental health struggles since his trainee days, according to the report. That openness is notable because solo artists often lack the built-in support structures that come with group membership, such as shared schedules, management oversight and peer networks. The source does not offer a detailed comparison between his experience and that of other artists, but his account highlights how quickly an individual career can become precarious.
The report says hate videos worsened his mental health during the period when he was homeless. That detail points to a broader tension in K-pop fandom and online culture: artists are expected to maintain public visibility while facing direct, often anonymous criticism. The source does not quantify the impact of that criticism, and K-Beats is not suggesting a direct causal link. What the report does establish is Beomhan’s own account that the combination of eviction, online hostility and pre-existing mental health difficulties created a crisis.
The iHeartRadio Deal and Album Completion
According to the source, Beomhan said a deal with iHeartRadio improved his situation and that he finished his album while he was homeless. The report does not specify the terms of that deal, when it was signed or what it involved beyond the improvement he described. For a solo artist, radio support can be a meaningful step toward stability, but the source does not provide figures or outcomes, so any assessment of its impact remains limited to what Beomhan himself said.
The fact that he completed an album during that period is one of the more concrete details in the report. It suggests that creative work continued even as his personal circumstances were unstable. The source does not describe the album’s release status, genre or reception, and K-Beats is not inferring those details. Readers who want to follow his music will need to look for official announcements rather than assume a release schedule from this report.
Accountability and Hardship
Beomhan’s statement that he felt the homelessness was “what he deserved” for his actions is a striking element of the disclosure. It links the hardship he described to the controversies that preceded it, though the source does not elaborate on which actions he meant. The quote suggests he views the period as a consequence rather than simply misfortune, but it does not resolve the allegations or offer a full account of his behaviour.
For readers, this raises a difficult question: how to hold someone accountable for alleged wrongdoing while also acknowledging genuine hardship. The source does not ask that question directly, and K-Beats is not taking a position on the truth of the allegations. What the report provides is Beomhan’s own framing, which places responsibility and suffering in the same sentence without explaining how they relate. That ambiguity is part of the story, not a gap that can be filled with speculation.
What Comes Next
Beomhan said he has been slowly getting back on his feet and now has a job. He did not specify what kind of work, how long he has had it or whether it is connected to music. The source also does not indicate whether he plans to release the album he finished, or whether the iHeartRadio deal is ongoing. Those are practical questions fans may have, but the report does not answer them.
The takeaway is that an active solo artist has publicly described a period of homelessness, eviction and mental health crisis, and has credited a small number of staff and a radio deal with helping him survive it. The disclosure does not erase the allegations against him, nor do the allegations erase the hardship he described. Both can be true, and the source leaves the relationship between them unresolved.
As Beomhan continues to rebuild, the K-pop industry’s capacity to support artists in similar situations remains an open question.
