Former FM Entertainment trainee Beomhan has addressed hit-and-run allegations made against him.
Former Beomhan fan Ethan (@lifeofethana on TikTok) shared a video alleging that Beomhan hit their car with a rental car. They confessed that at the time, they did not “give a f*ck,” but now they feel the situation was “f*cked up.” In a second video shared, Beomhan appeared to have “run off” after hitting the car. These videos garnered attention on both TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) after netizens reposted them. Although, they have been removed from Ethan’s account on TikTok.

Beomhan fans will remember that this incident occurred in May at one of his dinner events with fans in Utah. At the time, Beomhan held a live broadcast when it happened, explaining the situation.

Immediately after the incident, he and Ethan seemed to work things out. Originally, Ethan took it lightheartedly, and Beomhan even “autographed” the damaged vehicle and hugged Ethan. They shared about their experience via X and Discord when it first happened.
Beomhan fans have resurfaced these past posts made by Ethan. They find it suspicious that the former fan resurfaced the incident now, changing their tone towards Beomhan.
I agree completely. These clips were so out of context. It disappointing really but I’m glad he’s getting the situation under control, even if he shouldn’t have had to. ❤️❤️

No fr. And she didn’t show the rest of the video either. I have it haha 😭😂 I was friends with her at the time and the vid shows Beomhan coming and talking to her after. He didn’t just run away lol.

They also felt the clips were taken out of context.
Again emotions can change over time! I completely understand changing one's opinion over this. I personally am a bit confused on the drastic alteration? I'm not quite sure what sparked Ethan to post these videos, but I can say that Beomhan did apologize and own up to his actions.

Many netizens are finding the situation confusing. Some recognize that emotions can change, but many are startled by how drastically Ethan’s feelings about the situation and Beomhan have changed in just a few months.
tbh this whole situation is very confusing to me, like when that video came out they were laughing at the situation and now they cut the video out of context to say that Beomhan ran away? like what's going on https://t.co/cIxJX5MVgT pic.twitter.com/734jHTB930

To me it seems the video it’s for money or attention. It seemed they were bragging about their car being hit by beomhan during the period when this happened + they made a poster about it (clearly showing how they themselves took it as a joke) pic.twitter.com/X4wozj4Hlo

Ethan has responded to some comments, defending themself. They reiterated that while they had been “civil” then, they were never “friends.”

Ethan added they decided to take the recent videos down because they have begun emailing Beomhan and speaking with him personally to resolve the matter.

Beomhan also directly addressed the allegations after the social media posts went viral. He revealed that he has since reached out to Ethan.
Hello!
I think this is serious and I would love to address this fully in its proper order.
I have reached to Ethan and apologized for my insane out of pocket comment while being taught their language. I do not condone any use of ableist language in any context and I am sorry-— therealbeomhan (@beomhan_x) August 13, 2024
He apologized for the entire situation, including some of the language he had used. Beomhan revealed his side of the story, explaining that he was licensed and insured and checked on the victims, who reassured him before he made any jokes about the incident.
jokes. This is a serious matter that we only joked about because the victims reassured us that it was okay.
I understand that feelings may change over time, so I will continue to privately make amends with the victims until the parties are satisfied. Thank you for your support
