BTS' V reveals hearing problem: 'I can barely hear out of one ear'

BTS member V has disclosed he has been grappling with hearing difficulties for over two years, currently undergoing medical treatment. During a livestream with fellow BTS member Jungkook on fan platform Weverse, V shared his struggle for the first time to his devoted fanbase, ARMY. The 30-year-old singer clarified that his hearing has progressively deteriorated, with one ear being significantly less effective than the other.

"It got a little worse in the military, and since I was surrounded by people who exercised a lot, everyone said, 'It's a matter of mental strength,'" V recalled.
