BTS member V says he is dealing with hearing loss that affects one ear during his world tour. In a livestream, he tells fans that his left ear hears at full capacity, while his right ear functions at about one-third of that level.
Variety and Rolling Stone both report that V discusses how the problem is being handled, saying he is currently receiving treatment. He also describes initially downplaying the issue, framing it as something he could push through before taking it more seriously. Both outlets place the comments in the context of his ongoing performances, emphasizing that the condition is related to his health while on tour.
The coverage centers on V’s personal account of the hearing difference between his ears and his decision to seek or follow treatment, with both reports citing the same livestream remarks. Neither outlet provides additional medical details beyond V’s description of the disparity in hearing and his statement that he is being treated.
