BTS’ V reveals hearing problem as Jungkook faces stress fracture risk: ‘It hurt so much, I want to get better’

During a recent Weverse Live, BTS members V and Jungkook shared their struggles with health issues, opening up about pain they hadn't previously discussed publicly. V, who has been experiencing hearing loss in one ear for approximately two and a half years, confessed for the first time that he had never told his fans about this problem.

He revealed that he had been managing the issue with consistent medication but acknowledged the challenge of accepting it as a genuine medical concern rather than dismissing it as something to simply endure. V explained that during his mandatory military service, his worsening hearing was attributed to a lack of willpower by those around him, a mindset he has since rejected.

Jungkook, visibly surprised by V's revelation, pressed him on whether recent medical visits had improved his condition or if it had worsened. V responded that after a month of treatment, his hearing had slightly improved, but the road to recovery was still long. Jungkook, who also shared his own health struggles, revealed that his shin was at risk of developing a stress fracture.

Both members expressed their desire to heal quickly, but acknowledged the difficulty of doing so while continuing their demanding concert tour schedule.
