BTS star, Kim Taehyung popularly known as V, reveals he is battling partial hearing loss

<p>BTS star Kim Taehyung, popularly known as V, started a thread online as people discussed his recent&nbsp;photos&nbsp;from military service. In pictures that are now going viral, V was seen wearing a special black uniform, typically worn by the SDT (Special Forces). This sparked a conversation among fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As pictures&nbsp;spread like wildfire on the internet, people discussed whether the BTS star wearing a uniform that only the military personnel from the elite unit wear, was correct. While some fans celebrated his role in the elite unit, others believed that stars shouldn’t be involved in pro-military “propaganda.” The controversy erupted after a promotional video filmed by soldiers for the 2nd Army Corps in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province was posted on YouTube.</p>

<h2><strong>What is the whole fuss about?</strong></h2>

<p>The YouTube video was shared on April 17. It featured V in a South Korean pro-military advertisement.&nbsp;The BTS star was seen with a set of firearms. He was seen firing them like an expert. It started threads on social media platforms that called V, “Captain Korea”.</p>
