BTS member V says he is receiving treatment for hearing loss in one ear after what he describes as a two-and-a-half-year battle. He reveals the update publicly during a livestream, telling viewers he has been dealing with hearing problems for more than two years.
The reports agree that V does not present a detailed medical explanation in the coverage, but frames the issue as something he has managed privately before speaking out this week. BBC News and the UK tabloid reports both state that his comments come through the livestream and that the hearing issues have been ongoing for over two years. The outlets vary mainly in wording and emphasis, with some referring to a “battle” and specifying “one ear,” while still describing the same disclosure.
Overall, the story centers on V’s public confirmation that he is undergoing treatment for hearing loss, following a prolonged period of symptoms he says he has experienced since before this year’s livestream.
