On Wednesday, BTS member V disclosed to his fans via a livestream on Weverse that he has been grappling with hearing difficulties for over two years. The 30-year-old singer revealed that his hearing has deteriorated significantly in the past 2.5 years. V explained that his hearing in one ear is substantially weaker than in the other. When asked to quantify the difference, he stated, "If one ear is at about 100, I can only hear about 30 with the other."

The BTS member's revelation comes after he had previously never shared this issue with his fanbase, ARMY.
