Recently, BTS’s V and Jungkook held a live broadcast together, during which V confessed something to ARMYs that he had never shared before.
I’ve never told ARMYs about this, but it’s been like two and a half years? My hearing’s gotten worse.
— V
Jungkook responded, “But you went to the hospital recently and got it checked out, so it got better…or did it come back?”
V confessed that if one side is at 100% right now, the other side is only at about 30% in terms of hearing.
I’m steadily taking my meds. But honestly, it got worse after I was in the military, and since everyone around me then was into working out, they told me it was a ‘mental health issue’, so I got brainwashed into thinking it was a mental health problem.
— V
Although he reassured fans that he is currently going to the hospital regularly for his condition, fans were in absolute shock at the news.

What do you mean? His hearing has been bad for two and a half years, and yet he is going on tour with all these loud sounds? Does this even make sense?

I didn’t want the live broadcast, so I don’t know what’s going on. Tae, please don’t be sick, it hurts my heart.
