BTS members V and Jungkook shared their experience of encountering fans at the hotel gym during the North American leg of their world tour ’ARIRANG.’

On the 11th (local time), after their concert in Baltimore, USA, V and Jungkook communicated with fans through Weverse Live and mentioned an episode where they met about 20 fans at the hotel gym around 2 a.m. Jungkook said that during the tour, he had never seen anyone exercising at that hour and assumed the fans were there to see them.

V emphasized that if the purpose is to exercise, it is fine to come to the gym regardless of the number of people, but they should not disturb each other. Jungkook asked, ″Please focus on your posture and exercise, whether you are holding dumbbells or using equipment, instead of just staring,″ adding, ″Isn’t this our private time?″ V mentioned that a fan wearing green clothes appeared in a video they had recorded the day before and said they might release the video. It is known that a fan wearing green approached V and spoke to him after Jungkook left the gym.

During the live broadcast, V revealed that he and Jungkook are receiving hospital treatment together. V said that his hearing has been poor for two and a half years, explaining that if his left ear’s hearing is 100, his right ear can only hear at about 30, and he is undergoing treatment while taking medication regularly. Jungkook shared that he is on the verge of a stress fracture in his shin and said he could not perform as energetically on stage due to the pain. He added that although there are many micro-injuries and inflammation in his bones, he will manage his condition as best as possible and complete the remaining tour.

BTS is scheduled to continue their performances at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, USA, on the 15th and 16th, and at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Canada, on the 22nd and 23rd.
