Beomhan Exposes Former Staff’s “Smear Campaign” And Incriminating Texts To His Girlfriend
Content Warning
Former FM Entertainment trainee Beomhan has remained the subject of controversy after a series of profanity-laced rants.
It first started when Beomhan received backlash for his questionable “jokes” following the U.S. presidential election results. While he intended to cope with a bad situation with humor, viewers did not receive it well, as many felt the jokes were insensitive, ill-timed, and not his place as a man.
Everyone who is a woman, this week, rest in peace, and I’d like to say, ‘Rest in peace’ to all women, and we have failed you this week and as a country. And, Donald Trump, congratulations on being the president. However, I would like to say that Beyoncé had the best music video of all time, and thank you, Beyoncé. …And if you’re a woman, just know that we stand with you, and I am so sorry and rest in peace and good luck. I’m so sorry. And please take a mental health day and go shopping or something.

Beomhan soon apologized after taking heat for the now-viral clip. Yet, as netizens continued criticizing him and resurfacing past controversies and false allegations, the former K-Pop trainee got defensive and lashed out on social media with both X (formerly Twitter) rants and Instagram live broadcasts.
Clips from his two Instagram live broadcasts have gone viral, as Beomhan cursed out those who continued to leave him hate comments. His behavior during the live broadcasts alarmed netizens as he publicly yelled and used profanity. Many suspected he was using drugs and was “crashing out,” although he claimed to be sober.

Some loyal fans have defended Beomhan, but his behavior turned many off. Beomhan also apologized again.
In his most recent statement, Beomhan claimed he would be “back soon” and seek professional help, which he did as he has been going to therapy.
Since the controversies, Beomhan’s event has been canceled. Previously, Beomhan was scheduled for his first-ever event in Tennessee on November 16th and 17th, when he would take over PLOGHVEY K-POP in Knoxville.

Many netizens commended PLOGHVEY Group for their decision. Beomhan’s controversy is still a hot topic on social media.
Amid the controversy, former staff member Spencer broke his silence. When Beomhan was under his former company, Spencer often attended events with him and was featured in live broadcasts.

While they appeared to have a good relationship, Spencer emphasized, “I do not want to be associated with that person in any way, shape or form.” Read his complete statement below.
Now, Beomhan has held another live broadcast, addressing everything regarding his controversies, along with receipts.
First, Beomhan held himself accountable, addressing his inappropriate political joke, cursing rampage, and “crash out” via Instagram Live.

@felix4luv Is he ok??? #beomhan #beomhanfyp #beomhanlive #fypシ
He apologized yet again, recognizing he handled everything poorly, but clarified that he never threatened to self-harm. Beomhan had only claimed he was committing “career suicide.” He also confirmed again he is actively seeking counsel and therapy for his mental health issues and triggers.
@soobin_toes1 #fyp #crashout #beomhan AND THE WHOLE GIRLFRIEND THING WITH SPENCER IS CRAZYYYYYY I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE HAD A GF??(i was laughing at the message when he called her princess)😭 AND THE COMMENTS WERE MAKING ME GIGGLE💀💀 #stanloona #lore #thatfeelingwhenkneesurgeryistomorrow
Additionally, Beomhan addressed multiple allegations made against him.
Beomhan clarified the controversy regarding his debut remix contest. He confirmed that @prodbyming was the winner, as the producer previously revealed.
Beomhan also showed proof that he compensated him.
Beomhan revealed that he never officially announced a winner at the time because he was in a legal dispute with his manager, who allegedly embezzled funds, didn’t pay him, etc.
Beomhan also cleared up the allegations of a hit-and-run yet again because people continue to accuse him falsely. He revealed that he knows many people who have launched smear campaigns against him, including persons who claimed to know him personally.
@ikeu_4l1fe Guys dont mind the ring notifications,lag,and ss 😭 #kpop #beomhan
Beomhan shared that despite having a contract to not speak about each other, one former staff did. Beomhan showed a screenshot of Spencer’s statement, revealing that Spencer was the one who had drafted his “harsh” termination notice. Beomhan also claimed that Spencer consistently failed to protect him while under the company. For instance, Spencer was allegedly the staff present at the time of Beomhan being hate-crimed in New York City.
Beomhan also exposed Spencer for allegedly attempting to persuade Beomhan’s girlfriend to leave him, claiming Beomhan is a “terrible and manipulative person.” This also went on months after Beomhan had left his former company.

Beomhan emphasized that leaving FM Entertainment was his choice due to the “toxic environment.” He claimed they denied him health care, and his boss would join him in therapy sessions. Beomhan clarified that he and Spencer were never really close. He considered him just an associate, never a friend. He also called out Spencer for allegedly messaging people from his following list on social media.
After the live broadcast, many netizens still criticized Beomhan for how he handled the situation. Many thought it was inappropriate of him to share screenshots of personal direct messages.

On the other hand, many fans were impressed with how Beomhan handled himself. They recognized that Beomhan held himself accountable and apologized for his actions. Fans believe some just want someone to hate on, and he’s an easy target.

Major respect to Beomhan with that live. Completely calm and took accountability while also sharing what he’s been through and providing receipts.
He did a pretty good job all told.
