BTS member V reveals hearing problem he has faced …

BTS member V, whose real name is Kim Taehyung, has revealed that he has been dealing with a hearing problem for the past two and a half years.

The South Korean singer shared the personal health update with fans during a live broadcast on Weverse alongside fellow BTS member Jungkook, following the group’s return to activities after completing their mandatory military service.

During the conversation, V explained that there is a significant difference in his hearing ability between his two ears. He reportedly said that if the hearing ability in his left ear is considered 100, his right ear is currently around 30.

V also indicated that he is receiving treatment for the hearing issue. His revelation came as a surprise to many fans, who had not previously been aware of the extent of the problem.

The live session took place after BTS performed two consecutive sold-out shows at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, United States. V and Jungkook spoke to fans directly following the concerts and shared updates about their experiences during the group’s ongoing tour.

Jungkook also discussed a health issue during the broadcast. The singer said he has been performing despite experiencing significant pain in his legs during the tour.

According to Jungkook, the pain in his shin has reached a level where there is concern about the possibility of a stress fracture. Despite the discomfort, he said he often wanted to run and move freely while performing on stage, but the pain sometimes prevented him from doing so.

The health disclosures from both members have attracted attention from BTS fans around the world, particularly as the group has returned to major live performances following their military service.

All seven BTS members have now completed their mandatory military service in South Korea and resumed group activities. The group made its comeback with the album “ARIRANG” and subsequently launched a global music tour.

V’s revelation about his hearing has added a personal dimension to the group’s comeback, as the singer continues performing while undergoing treatment. Fans have expressed concern and support for the singer as he manages the condition alongside BTS’s demanding international schedule.

The latest update also highlights the physical demands placed on performers during major global tours, with both V and Jungkook discussing health challenges while continuing to appear on stage for fans.

    Rising energy costs expand trade deficit

      Pakistan’s trade deficit widened considerably in July 2026 as increasing energy prices pushed the country’s import bill higher, despite continued growth in exports. According to data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), the trade gap reached $3.95 billion, representing an increase of more than 25 percent compared with $3.15 billion recorded in July 2025. The official figures revealed that imports increased by nearly 18 percent on a year-on-year basis, while exports also recorded an encouraging rise of almost 10 percent during the same period. Although export earnings improved, they were insufficient to offset the rapid increase in import payments. Saad Hanif, Head of Research at Ismail Iqbal Securities, said the latest figures indicate that Pakistan’s demand for imported goods remains strong. According to him, economic activity has continued to recover, resulting in higher import volumes across several sectors. He noted that the country’s reliance on imported products has remained significant despite efforts to improve the trade balance. Import payments climbed to $6.89 billion in July, compared with $5.84 billion during the same month last year. Hanif explained that the main reason behind the sharp increase was the rise in global energy prices, particularly due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East. He said petroleum products and Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) became around 40 to 50 percent more expensive than they were a year earlier. Since Pakistan depends heavily on imported fuel, energy purchases typically account for between one-fifth and one-quarter of the country’s total import expenditure. In addition, higher imports of automobiles, industrial equipment and agricultural machinery also contributed to the increase in the import bill. Exports, however, showed positive momentum. Pakistan earned $2.94 billion from exports in July, compared with $2.68 billion in the corresponding month of 2025. Hanif attributed this improvement mainly to stronger food exports, especially rice, which regained momentum in international markets. He also highlighted that the textile industry continues to be Pakistan’s largest export sector, contributing more than half of the country’s total export earnings. Textile exports remained stable throughout the previous fiscal year, helping maintain overall export performance. When compared with the previous month, Pakistan’s trade position showed some improvement. The trade deficit had reached $4.66 billion in June 2026 but narrowed by more than 15 percent in July. This improvement was largely driven by a remarkable 31 percent monthly increase in exports, one of the strongest monthly gains recorded in recent years, while import payments remained almost unchanged. The Ministry of Finance described the development as a positive beginning to the new fiscal year and linked it to government measures aimed at supporting exports, improving industrial productivity and reducing the cost of doing business. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed authorities to accelerate the privatisation of state-owned electricity distribution companies by attracting reputable international investors. During a review meeting in Islamabad, he instructed the Privatisation Commission to complete its restructuring within one month and ensure that the entire process follows international standards, transparent procedures and fixed timelines. He also stressed that consumer interests should remain fully protected throughout the privatisation process. The prime minister welcomed the positive response received during recent investor roadshows held in Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and China for the first-phase privatisation of Gepco, Fesco and Iesco. He further instructed the Privatisation Commission to recruit qualified professionals in finance, law and information technology to strengthen its institutional capacity. In addition, he ordered the establishment of an effective grievance mechanism to address consumer complaints after the companies are transferred to private ownership. The government expects bidding for the three electricity distribution companies to take place between October and December 2026, with the aim of attracting investment from Gulf and other Asian markets.

    Sindh rejects Miftah Ismail’s police recruit…

    Sindh Home and Law Minister Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar has strongly rejected allegations made by former federal minister Miftah Ismail regarding police recruitment in the province, calling the claims baseless and politically irresponsible. Responding to Miftah Ismail’s statement, Lanjar said President Asif Ali Zardari represents all federating units of Pakistan and should not be portrayed as the representative of a single province, language or ethnic group. He added that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is a truly federal political party, and attempts to associate the president with a particular region undermine national unity. The provincial minister said all government recruitment in Sindh, particularly in Karachi, is conducted in accordance with established laws, the quota policy and merit. He maintained that the Sindh Police is a professional, impartial institution committed to merit-based recruitment. Lanjar further said the Sindh government does not believe in discrimination on the basis of language, ethnicity, region or community, and remains committed to providing equal opportunities to all citizens. He urged Miftah Ismail, as a senior political leader, to avoid making unsubstantiated allegations or statements that could fuel ethnic divisions. He said that if Miftah possesses evidence regarding any irregularity in police recruitment, he should present it before the relevant legal or administrative forum instead of making general accusations. The Sindh home minister also called on Miftah Ismail to clarify and withdraw what he described as an irresponsible statement that was contrary to the facts.

    Iran advances in Hormuz talks with Oman

      Iran and Oman have made significant progress in negotiations over a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides agreeing on the precise maritime coordinates. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said a joint statement is currently being prepared, although its release depends on the absence of outside interference. He stressed that the understanding, while important, would not by itself guarantee complete security in the strategically vital waterway. According to sources, the proposed arrangement would place Iran in charge of overseeing vessels entering the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. The sources described the proposal as one of Tehran’s most substantial concessions in the ongoing discussions. However, they dismissed claims made by US President Donald Trump that a comprehensive agreement to fully reopen the strait was close, saying several key issues remain unresolved. Baghaei described the negotiations with Oman as constructive and professional, noting that both countries have reached consensus on the shipping corridor. He added that officials are now working on the final wording of the joint declaration. An Iranian diplomatic source also expressed optimism that an agreement could be reached within the next couple of days if no external actors complicate the process. The source further clarified that the Strait of Hormuz has never been closed due to disagreements between Iran and Oman, insisting that any disruption to navigation depends on actions taken by the United States. Separately, Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security Committee, said the time would eventually come when US military forces would withdraw from the region. He argued that countries hosting American bases would ultimately be responsible for financing their own security after the departure of US troops. Iranian state media also maintained that any shipping agreement with Oman would not automatically result in the reopening of the strait if Washington continued policies that Tehran considers hostile. A source quoted that the discussions with Oman are strictly bilateral and unrelated to negotiations involving the United States. In another development, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk voiced concern over a sharp increase in executions in Iran since March. He said at least 56 individuals have been executed on national security charges during this period, including 27 people connected to earlier anti-government protests. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi movement claimed responsibility for launching ballistic missiles at the Saudi oil tanker Wafaa near Yanbu in the northern Red Sea. A Houthi spokesperson said the missiles struck their intended target and described the attack as part of the group’s continuing blockade against Saudi Arabia. According to the group, the tanker is the eighth vessel targeted since the blockade began in July. Iranian parliamentarian Esmail Kowsari criticised President Trump’s public statements on the Strait of Hormuz, accusing him of making inconsistent and misleading claims about the negotiations. He argued that repeated assertions about the strait reopening and Iran’s position have failed to match developments on the ground. President Trump, however, said the waterway would reopen soon and warned that Iran would face severe consequences if negotiations collapsed. He also claimed that easing tensions in the region could lead to a significant drop in global oil prices. Qatar said diplomatic mediation efforts are making steady progress, with the country’s Emir discussing the latest developments with President Trump in an effort to narrow differences between Washington and Tehran. At the same time, Israeli officials reportedly expressed concern that the United States appears willing to secure an agreement regardless of the terms, adding that Israel is receiving updates on the Hormuz negotiations only through indirect channels.

A not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf in Concord District Court to charges including two counts of murder and motor vehicle theft.
