BewhY is one of the most well-known and technically skilled artists in modern
Korean hip-hop. The South Korean rapper and producer, whose real name is Lee
Byung-yoon, released his first mixtape Be The Livest in 2012, followed by his first
single “Waltz” in 2014. Since then, he has established himself as a major figure in
the Korean hip-hop scene, known in particular for his distinctive rap style, precise
delivery, and strong live performances.
BewhY achieved his major breakthrough in 2016 when he won Show Me The Money
5. Songs such as “Forever” and “Day Day” became major hits in South Korea. That
same year, he was named one of the Top 10 Artists at the Melon Music Awards and
won Best Rap Performance at the MAMA Awards together with C Jamm for
“Puzzle”. In 2017, further major awards followed, including Best Rap & Hip Hop
Song at the Korean Music Awards for “Forever”.
Over the years, BewhY has also developed a highly distinctive musical identity. His
music combines technically demanding rap with productions ranging from
large-scale, cinematic arrangements to electronic and funk-inspired sounds. At the
same time, themes such as his Christian faith, personal growth, and identity
continue to play an important role in his lyrics.
In May 2026, BewhY released his new 15-track album POP IS CRYIN’, marking a
new chapter under his current label, Opus Magnum. More than a decade after his
first releases, he remains one of the most distinctive and established voices in
Korean hip-hop.
