BTS is sharing the music video for “Normal,” alongside the release of a Korean-language version of the track. The new versions arrived alongside clean and instrumental editions of the song, giving fans multiple ways to experience one of the album’s standout tracks. The music video initially premiered as a limited-time Spotify exclusive before its wider release on additional platforms.
Directed by Tanu Muiño, who previously collaborated with the group on “Swim,” the video follows RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook in the aftermath of an extravagant celebration. Shifting between scenes from the previous night’s festivities and the quiet moments that follow, the visual offers a more intimate portrayal of the seven members away from the spotlight. It also recreates the now-viral bathroom image featured in BTS’ recent newspaper advertising campaign, tying together the promotional clues that generated widespread fan speculation ahead of the release.
The Korean version of “Normal” was first introduced during the group’s Arirang concert in Busan, where it received a strong response from audiences. Originally released in English on Arirang, the alternative pop track has become one of the album’s most recognizable songs.
The latest release arrives as BTS continues one of the biggest comeback campaigns of its career following the group’s return from military service. Arirang has earned major commercial success since its March release, and Spotify said the “Normal” music video set a new single-day streaming record for a K-pop music video on the platform.
