Beomgyu grew up in Daegu, where his father's love for classic pop and soft rock artists like ABBA and Air Supply sparked his interest in music. He learned to play guitar at a young age, which later became a defining part of his stage persona. He attended Hanlim Multi Art School in Seoul, a prestigious arts high school known for producing K-pop idols, focusing on practical entertainment and performing arts. After passing an audition, he joined Big Hit Entertainment as a trainee, undergoing intensive training in vocals, dance, and performance. He was introduced as the fifth member of TXT on January 20, 2019, through a pre-debut video series, including the "Introduction Film – What Do You Do?", which showcased his visuals and personality and generated significant early international attention.[edit]

Beomgyu debuted with TXT on March 4, 2019, with the EP "The Dream Chapter: STAR," which achieved immediate chart success on the Billboard 200. The group quickly became a leading act in fourth-generation K-pop, known for their concept-driven music and storytelling. Through 2019–2024, TXT released additional albums in the "The Dream Chapter" and "The Chaos Chapter" storylines, and Beomgyu participated as a vocalist, dancer, visual, and increasingly as a songwriter and producer, earning credits on several TXT tracks. TXT’s world tours and festival appearances expanded their global reach. On March 27, 2025, he released his first solo mixtape, "Panic," which he wrote and produced, highlighting his skills as a composer, lyricist, and producer, and strengthening his reputation as an independent creative voice.[edit]

Beomgyu's fandom, known as Bamtori, is a passionate and dedicated community that has grown alongside his career.
