BTS Member V Shares News About His Hearing Loss
Fans across the world voiced strong support for his ongoing recovery.

BTS star V revealed he has been dealing with hearing loss for two and a half years. He shared the personal news during a recent live broadcast with bandmate Jung Kook.
V explained that his hearing condition worsened while he was completing his mandatory military service. During that time, people around him urged him to focus on mental strength. He convinced himself that pushing through the pain was enough. However, the issue persisted and grew more severe over time.

V reassured fans that he is currently managing the condition responsibility. He visits the hospital regularly and takes prescribed medication to treat his ears. He promised listeners that he is doing his absolute best to care for his health while continuing his music career.
