@bts.suchwita: The phrase “Let them eat cake” is often associated with Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France, and is believed to represent the disconnect between the wealthy and the suffering of ordinary people. According to the story, when she was told that the people had no bread, she supposedly replied, “Let them eat cake.” However, there is no solid historical evidence that she actually said these words; the quote was likely attached to her later as a symbol of aristocratic ignorance and excess. In short, the phrase became famous because it was used to represent the idea of privilege and being out of touch with the struggles of others. I think the use of the cake symbol may not have been a coincidence. BTS often uses visual symbols in their music videos to explore deeper themes such as social pressure, inequality, expectations, and the systems that influence people. The phrase “Let them eat cake” has historically been associated with the gap between the privileged and those who struggle. If BTS used a similar symbol, it does not necessarily mean they are celebrating privilege or excess. It could actually be a way of criticizing or questioning those ideas. The cake can represent a false image of happiness, a luxurious appearance hiding deeper issues, or the contrast between what society shows on the surface and what people experience underneath. BTS often uses symbolism to make viewers think and reflect on social issues. So, if the cake was an intentional reference, it may have been used not to glorify privilege, but to highlight and challenge the problems connected to it.

I was reading related theories on x and the most agreed upon theory related to the cake was that Mary Antoinette never actually said the phrase "let them eat cake" it's never been proven or officially recorded. it was made up by people and associated with her so much to the point that most of us to this day believe it as fact. we see something very similar happening with BTS as well. people allege half founded and sometimes completely false claims against them and nobody contests it. everyone just eagerly believes anything about them weather or not it's proven, as long as the claim fits their agenda or Their perception of them. we literally have people coming on here and confidently putting Bts in the same category as convicted criminals all because of word of mouth which is treated like absolute "truth" even when there's no evidence to support it.

Even the symbolism of their MV is so genius, none of any grammy winners could beat that.

Fun fact: Marie Antionette never said those words but was accused of saying it and used as propaganda. I think in this instance BTS is trying to say how quickly the media can run with a story even though it’s not the truth. I really think this especially harps on the fact about where they stand politically and people just assuming, regardless of them always doing things behind the scenes.

my 2 cents: "let them eat cake" was adressed to the people from the aristocrats, the elite, i think by them eating the cake themselves, they maybe telling us that they are still normal people, not people that should be uplifted above the "commoners" and its the theme of Normal, telling people that their lives maybe ones of elites, but they remain normal humans

Preparada para entender lo siguiente ARMY ustedes son las que deben entender lo que quieren decir los chicos en el videoclip, les comparto esta reflexión : El video de "NORMAL" es una obra de arte, pero también un llamado de atención. Verlos en esa mansión vacía tras el caos, o expuestos en escenas tan íntimas como la del baño, nos muestra el verdadero precio de la fama: la pérdida de la privacidad. Nos recuerda que el escrutinio público puede llegar a ser abrumador.Como ARMY, nuestro lazo con ellos siempre ha sido la música, pero creo que hoy nuestro mayor acto de amor debe ser el respeto y la empatía.Ellos nos dan todo en el escenario, pero nosotros debemos ser su lugar seguro. Un espacio donde RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V y Jung Kook no tengan que ser perfectos ni leyendas las 24 horas del día.Apoyemos este regreso con todo el corazón, pero nunca olvidemos que el regalo más grande que podemos devolverles es permitirles ser humanos. Permitiles, dentro de su increíble mundo, el derecho a ser normales. ✨Lo que hace eterno a BTS no son sus números, sino la inmensa humanidad con la que tocan nuestras vidas.

it was Madame Victoire, Louis XV's daughter. Rousseau in his "Confessions" (written in 1765 - Marie Antoinette arrived in France in 1770) depicted her as a princess "out of touch" (without naming her) and it is not "cake" but "brioche"

She never said they made it up to damage her reputation, just as media and haters makes things up and exaggerates when talking about BTS.
