BTS' V Reveals Hearing Loss in One Ear; Jungkook Performing Through a Leg Injury on Tour
The two members shared their health updates during a livestream after the group's back-to-back Baltimore concerts.
BTS' V has revealed that he is receiving medical treatment for hearing loss in his right ear. Speaking during a Weverse livestream with fellow member Jungkook after the group's back-to-back concerts in Baltimore, the singer said he can currently hear at only about 30 percent capacity in that ear compared with his left.
V, whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung, said the problem began roughly two and a half years ago and has not fully recovered. He added that he is taking medication and visiting the hospital regularly for treatment.
During the same livestream, Jungkook shared that he is dealing with a leg injury he described as "on the verge of a stress fracture," with significant inflammation and what he believes is minor damage to the bone. He said the pain forced him to hold back at points during the show and asked for fans' understanding, while indicating he intends to keep performing.
The updates come as BTS continues the North American leg of its 'Arirang' world tour.
ARMY has flooded both members with messages of support and calls to rest. Here's hoping V and Jungkook get the care and recovery time they need.

not BTS pulling TWO vma noms for 'Swim' while the whole roster ate — the nominations list is giving family dinner
song of the year AND best k-pop for 'Swim,' plus Lisa, Jisoo and LE SSERAFIM got called up — vmas hit sept 27
the 2026 MTV VMA nominations dropped and bestie... k-pop did NOT come to play. BTS pulled up with two nods and i'm being so normal about it (i am not being normal about it).
BTS scored Song of the Year AND Best K-Pop for "Swim," the title track off their fifth studio album "Arirang." for the girlies keeping score: Song of the Year is a GENERAL-field category, not a genre box — so the bar is on the floor for everyone else.
and it wasn't just them. Lisa racked up FOUR nominations for "Dream" (best pop, best k-pop, best cinematography, best editing). Jisoo landed a best visual effects nod for "Eyes Closed" with Zayn. BLACKPINK's "Jump" and LE SSERAFIM's "Spaghetti" — featuring j-hope, keeping it in the family — both grabbed best k-pop noms too.
newer acts Cortis and Katseye got called up as well, so the pipeline is THRIVING. the ceremony goes down september 27 at the Peacock Theatre in LA.
and let's not forget Rosé took Song of the Year for "APT." last year — so k-pop walking into this room is basically a homecoming now. we are so back. 💅
