me dan ganas de llorar con la situación de privacidad de los chicos en paris, como es que hay “armys” que siguen repateando ese contenido, les ponen el maldito celular en la cara, ni siquiera 1 metro de distancia, cómo son capaces de normalizar algo así?
bts being trapped in a elevator and you got strangers shoving phones inches from their face, fame is never an excuse, this is violating their privacy and its deeply unsettling. these stalkers are stripping them off their humanity, it makes me sick knowing ppl become obsessed with getting content that they stop seeing that BTS are real human beings. taehyung tried to cover them and create a boundary, but these stalkers have no human decency.
The imagery of wealth, old-money nobility, and bizarre pet photoshoots in the NORMAL music video acts as a layered satirical critique of ultra-celebrity culture, highlights how public perception strips away an individual's humanity, replacing it with an untouchable, historical caricature.
There is performance of Excess here: Eating in this setting is not for survival or nourishment; it is an elaborate, highly visible performance. by staging a wildly excessive banquet overflowing with wine glasses and gourmet food, BTS is commenting on the perceived privilege of superstardom.
There is Aftermath too: In the narrative arc of the MV, these grand, chaotic celebrations quickly cut to the quiet, messy morning-after. This contrast emphasizes that behind the untouchable royal facade lies a group of ordinary people dealing with isolation once the cameras shut of.
The dog photoshoots are a direct nod to European aristocracy and early photography trends, where the ultra-wealthy commissioned formal portraits of their hounds to signal immense status. Just like the monarchs of 'the days back in the day', modern global idols are effectively trapped within their own golden cages. They are forced to perform elite, curated versions of domesticity for an audience
The bathroom is the equalizer: all individuals are human at the end of the day and have to do this mundane humanly task.
Royalty represents the ultimate historical paradox: absolute power combined with zero personal freedom. The MV was shot at Quinta da Francelha estate.
In NORMAL mv BTS do all the superstar stereotype thing like partying , wearing expensive jewels and clothes but still feel empty
But when they are alone together they are the happiest and have genuine fun. their normal is all the 7 being together
these videos of the boys in paris are fucking ridiculous. they haven’t had a minute of privacy since they arrived. i’m seeing comments saying “they’re famous, they expect it”. they shouldn’t have to expect it. everyone else should know better. please report if you see any.
the alcohol, the women, the luxe attire, the partying. ‘normal’ takes everything korean idols are routinely dragged for and turns it into the concept itself. not provocation for the sake of it but artistic commentary on an industry that demands perfection and punishes adulthood
I think they’re poking fun at what people/media think their normal is. Partying all the time, rich fits with dogs, constant hangovers because they’re rich and famous. The ending of the video is important. That’s their true normal, they’re just silly guys and not that other image.
