V is currently at the center of attention following his revelation about his hearing condition during a livestream with Jungkook after their Baltimore concert. That day, V carefully opened up to fans, saying that he had never shared this before: “It’s been about two and a half years, I think. My hearing started getting worse.” He also used specific numbers to describe his current condition, explaining, “If I can hear 100 with one ear, I can only hear about 30 with the other.”

V also revealed that his condition became more serious during his military service and that he is now making an effort to focus on treatment and take better care of his health. His revelation left fans deeply heartbroken, as having to deal with hearing loss can be an incredibly difficult challenge for a performer. Fans were even more ѕнσ¢кed when they looked back at his previous performances, where V always gave 100% of his energy, making it almost impossible for anyone to realize how serious a condition he had been quietly dealing with.

Notably, just a few hours later, fans realized that they might have been able to notice this much earlier if they had paid closer attention to the way the BTS members interacted with V during this time!

Specifically, a series of videos fans dug up from recent concerts on the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ showed that the members, particularly Jin and Jimin, seemed especially attentive to whether V could hear them clearly. Looking at the clips, fans noticed that whenever they talked to V or leaned in to whisper soмєтнing to him, they would often switch to his right side instead of speaking into his left ear.

In one video, Jin was sitting on V’s left and was about to say soмєтнing to his younger brother when V instinctively leaned his left ear toward Jin to listen. Jin then appeared to suddenly realize soмєтнing and touched V’s chin, signaling him to turn his right ear toward him before continuing what he wanted to say.

Jimin was also seen doing soмєтнing similar. After whispering soмєтнing into V’s left ear, he patiently repeated the same thing into his friend’s right ear to make sure V could hear him clearly. Jimin then seemed to ask him soмєтнing else, as if checking whether V’s ear was hurting or causing him any discomfort, before gently patting him on the shoulder as a way of reαѕѕuring him.

Looking back at these moments, fans finally realized just how deeply thoughtful and caring the members have always been toward V. Knowing he has ℓσѕт 70% hearing in one ear, they gently look out for him even in the smallest details. Once again, this quietly proves their family-like bond—a profound connection that remains unwavering after more than a decade together:

- now i understand this interaction much better bc tae said he can hear 100% from his right ear and 30% from his left ear that’s why he switched sides when jm spoke to him and at the end jimin patted him

- It’s very frustrating if someone’s telling you soмєтнing & you can’t hear them :( So glad the Tannies are so considerate with Tae

- And we know tae will just simplify it like it is what it is but i know the guys are going to constantly worry about him. I fear we will be noticing this and jungkooks leg more often going forward

- My heart can’t handle this. This is just so sad and нєαятвяєαкιиg! Hope he gets well soon and the rest of his hearing gets better!

- The way they quietly look out for Taehyung without making a big deal out of it… this is what family looks like

- The way they talked to Taehyung so he could hear them better. My heart can’t take this

- The fact that they instinctively switch sides when talking to him… they must have been paying so much attention to his condition. BTS really takes care of each other

- After more than 10 years together, they know each other’s little habits and needs so well. Their bond is honestly soмєтнing so precious

- This is why I love BTS so much. Behind all the jokes and chaos, they’re always watching out for one another. Please stay healthy and take care of each other, my seven
