On June 7, 2026, BTS released the NORMAL LOG series as part of their 2026 FESTA celebrations for the group’s 13th anniversary on June 13. Each member shared their own NORMAL LOG video on BANGTANTV. The videos were exactly 6 minutes and 13 seconds, referencing the debut date of June 13, 2013.
BTS’ Taehyung’s NORMAL LOG included casual daily footage such as a gym workout session where he performed dumbbell lateral raises while wearing a black cap and black sweatshirt over a pink-collared shirt.
Following the release, the vlog drew criticism in some online replies. Comments referencing the need for a ‘facelift’ and ‘botox injections’ appeared under posts sharing clips and photos from Taehyung’s video. These replies targeted his natural appearance in the casual gym scenes.
The criticism led to responses from fans defending Taehyung. They highlighted his unchanged look and features.
Defending Taehyung, one fan said:
“Taehyung the first idol to get hate for NOT STUFFING HIS FACE WITH BOTOX OR PLASTIC😭😭 Even his antis know he is natural… Also his face pretty and jawline still sharp as a knife”
More fans came forward and defended Taehyung.
More fans shared their opinion on the same.
