'Normal' Becomes Second Official Single from ARIRANG Album

According to original reports, BTS recently began teasing their next work, 'Normal.' This song is included in the group's ARIRANG album and will be released with a music video, serving as the album's official second single.

On July 15, the official MV teaser for 'Normal' was released, following previous tabloid-style advertisements. The teaser shows members lined up in front of urinals, presumably using the restroom; RM then approaches, seemingly looking for a spot.
