BTS member V says he has been dealing with worsening hearing in one ear for about two and a half years and is receiving medical treatment. He makes the disclosure during a livestream with fellow member Jungkook on fan platform Weverse.
V says he has never previously told ARMY about the issue. He describes his hearing as significantly weaker in one ear than the other and says he is taking medication as part of his treatment. According to his account, the problem became worse during his military service, when he initially did not take it as seriously as he should. Jungkook, during the same livestream, emphasizes the importance of ongoing health care.
The outlets share the same core details: V’s disclosure, the length of time the condition has been present, and that he is undergoing treatment. Differences are mainly in emphasis, with one report focusing on V’s statement about receiving treatment and the general timeline, while another adds a more specific comparison of hearing levels and mentions the military as a factor in worsening.
