During his most recent live stream, Beomhan discussed his mental health again, revealing details that have fans worried for the trainee.

On August 28, Beomhan went live on his Instagram account and warned fans that the topic would be heavy and to come back later on if they were triggered by such information.

After discussing discord in the community he has built over ways of showing support, Beomhan begins talking about some of his personal struggles, first mentioning that he had gone two days without eating in the past until fans intervened, trying to make the situation humorous.

I told you guys that I couldn’t eat and I didn’t eat for two days and it’s funny, it’s funny on purpose. You know? But like yeah I didn’t eat for two days and yeah. [laughs] And you guys saved my life.

He also told viewers he had been in his room for days, saying that some of his actions are a “cry for help.”

I’ve been in this room every single day since I got back to Korea. Is it a cry for help? Am I lonely? Yes. Ok.

After giving another trigger warning, Beomhan moves his arm to show his self-harm scars to the camera, saying that he would wear short sleeves as a cry for help.

Um, look. [shows his arm] I’ve been going live with short sleeves this whole time, do I sometimes cry for help? Yes

Despite this, Beomhan says it is not the fans’ responsibility to “help him.”

But also, it’s not your responsibility to help me. You know?

After this, Beomhan returned to lighter discussions before returning to his usual type of content.  On multiple platforms, fans have expressed concern for the trainee and hope he can receive the help he needs.
