Members of BTS have shared updates regarding their health during the ongoing Arirang world tour. During a recent stream on the platform Weverse, V and Jungkook described the physical toll the concert series has taken on them.
V stated that he is dealing with hearing loss in his right ear. He noted that his condition worsened following his service in the military. He is currently seeking medical treatment and medication to manage the issue.
Jungkook also provided an update regarding an injury to his shin. He reported significant inflammation and concern about potential bone damage. To prevent a stress fracture, he has performed several shows while seated.
Despite these challenges, the members confirmed their intention to complete the remainder of the tour. The U.S. leg of the tour concludes on September 6 in Los Angeles, after which the group will travel to South America, the South Pacific, Australia, and Hong Kong. The tour is scheduled to wrap up in the Philippines in March 2027.
