Magnetic bimeron is a topological counterpart of skyrmions in in-plane magnets, which can be used as a spintronic information carrier. We report the static properties of bimerons with different topological structures in a frustrated ferromagnetic monolayer, where the bimeron structure is characterized by the vorticity $Q_{text{v}}$ and helicity $eta$. It is found that the bimeron energy increases with $Q_{text{v}}$, and the energy of an isolated bimeron with $Q_{text{v}}=pm 1$ depends on $eta$. We also report the dynamics of frustrated bimerons driven by the spin-orbit torques, which depend on the strength of the dampinglike and fieldlike torques. We find that the isolated bimeron with $Q_{text{v}}=pm 1$ can be driven into linear or elliptical motion when the spin polarization is perpendicular to the easy axis. We numerically reveal the damping dependence of the bimeron Hall angle driven by the dampinglike torque. Besides, the isolated bimeron with $Q_{text{v}}=pm 1$ can be driven into rotation by the dampinglike torque when the spin polarization is parallel to the easy axis. The rotation frequency is proportional to the driving current density. In addition, we numerically demonstrate the possibility of creating a bimeron state with a higher or lower topological charge by the current-driven collision and merging of bimeron states with different $Q_{text{v}}$. Our results could be useful for understanding the bimeron physics in frustrated magnets.
