BTS‘s V shared a personal health update during a live broadcast with fellow member Jungkook on August 12. He revealed that he has been experiencing hearing loss in his right ear for more than two and a half years and is currently undergoing treatment.
V explained that while his left ear still functions at about 100 percent, his right ear’s hearing capacity has decreased significantly to around 30 percent. To manage this condition, he has been consistently taking medication.
This candid revelation comes as BTS continues their world tour, ‘Arirang,’ with upcoming performances scheduled at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, USA, and Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada, later this month. Despite these challenges, V remains dedicated to delivering powerful performances for fans worldwide.
Fans quickly responded with concern and support, appreciating V’s openness about his health struggles. His honesty highlights the physical toll that demanding schedules and intense performances can have on artists.
As BTS moves forward with their global activities, fans will closely follow V’s health updates and wish him a swift and full recovery. The group’s professionalism and resilience stand out as they continue to perform amidst personal difficulties.
With major tour dates approaching, attention will focus on how V balances managing his hearing condition while maintaining the high-energy performances that BTS is known for.
