“I’ve Never Told ARMY This Before”: BTS’ V Opens Up About A Health Struggle He’s Kept Private For Years

Some things are hard to say out loud, even to the people who love you most. For V, it took a quiet, candid moment with his bandmate Jungkook to finally share something he’d carried alone for over two years.

During a recent Weverse Live session, BTS’ V revealed that he has been experiencing significant hearing loss in one ear — a health struggle he admitted he had never spoken about publicly before.

What BTS V Shared?

Opening up during the live broadcast, V explained that his hearing has been declining for roughly two and a half years. He described a stark difference between his ears, saying that if one ear functions at full capacity, the other operates at only a fraction of that level. The revelation visibly concerned Jungkook, who immediately began asking about V’s recent hospital visits.

Why V Stayed Quiet For So Long

V shared that his hearing issues intensified during his mandatory military training, a period when he was surrounded by people who downplayed physical symptoms as a matter of willpower rather than health. He admitted that this environment initially led him to dismiss the seriousness of what he was experiencing.

Jungkook, however, pushed back gently but firmly during the conversation, urging V not to ignore his health going forward. It was a small but meaningful moment between the two members, reflecting the kind of care fans have come to associate with BTS as a group.

V confirmed he’s now taking the issue seriously, attending regular medical check-ups and managing the condition with medication.
