BTS member V has revealed his hearing loss issue.
On the 12th, V conducted a live broadcast on the fan communication platform Weverse alongside member Jung-kook.
During the interaction with fans, V stated, "I've never told ARMY (the fandom name) about this before, but it's been about two and a half years since my hearing started to decline."
He continued, explaining, "If I can hear 100% in this ear, I can only hear 30% in this one," adding that he is consistently taking medication.
V also shared, "Actually, it got worse during my military service. Since everyone around me was into sports and fighting spirit, they kept saying, 'It's a mental issue.' After that, I fell under hypnosis and thought it was a mental problem."
When Jung-kook expressed concern, saying, "That shouldn't happen," V clarified that he is visiting the hospital regularly.
V enlisted in December 2023 and served with the Special Duty Team (SDT) of the Army 2nd Corps Military Police Unit before being discharged in June last year.
Meanwhile, BTS released their fifth full-length album 'ARIRANG' in March and is currently on a world tour. The group is continuing its world tour in the United States, with upcoming shows scheduled for the 19th and 20th at M&T Stadium in Baltimore, U.S.
