BTS uploaded the official music video for "NORMAL" to YouTube and made the MV available on TIDAL. The song comes from BTS’s comeback album Arirang, whose recent MVs thebiaslist.com says the group had been drip-feeding and releasing as Spotify premium exclusives, a strategy that limited nonpaying listeners. Thebiaslist criticizes "NORMAL" as a pop-minded Ryan Tedder collaboration built on a plodding, rock-adjacent beat with effects-heavy vocals and a repeating melodic refrain that the reviewer found muddled and lacking catharsis. Social posts point to layered visuals in the MV, with viewers interpreting themes about privacy and being hunted across Paris, a debated bathroom scene featuring chinoiserie motifs, and fans calling out a shower scene moment with Jungkook. The MV was reported filmed in Portugal, and fans have organized listening parties and playlist activity around the release. Putting the MV on YouTube and TIDAL broadens access beyond Spotify premium listeners and has prompted renewed fan scrutiny and discussion of Arirang-era visuals and promotion choices.
