    This tells you their story and somehow shows you how they've evolved not only music-wise but also personality-wise. Listening to this album, I cried, laughed, danced, and remembered all the beautiful moments we've experienced with Bangtan so far. There isn't a better way to conclude an iconic chapter.

    I love this Anthology album!!! What a great summary to BTS music career. They are so versatile with their genres and you can see it here in Proof. Obsessed with the new song Run BTS! Everyone should give this album a listen.

    Anthology album that consists of hits after hits. This album includes different genres that explains the artistry of BTS. Yet to come is my favorite. The lyrics is so good and it reflects BTS' past, present, and future. The new track For Youth is heartwearming as well especially to me as a fan who witnessed their growth as an artist. Run BTS is definitely an ass shaking track!

It traces their journey from the first song being "Born Singer" to the end of CD 3 single - "For Youth" which even represents ARMYS as their best friend.

    Proof is a summary of a great career - so far. No matter when you discovered them, this will bring out a lot of emotions.

    A journey through the title tracks on Disc 1 shows how they evolved and tried new things. So many different genres but in every song is the heart of those "7 boys from Korea". And the last track "Yet to Come" on Disc 1 promises even greater things in the next years.    Proof is a summary of a great career - so far.

    And the last track "Yet to Come" on Disc 1 promises even greater things in the next years. With all the references and beautiful lyrics it really is a promise I believe.

    Disc 2 with their favourite solo and unit songs. Really interesting to see what songs Bangtan values the most on their journey! And with their second new track "Run BTS" they are delivering right on the promise they gave us just a song before with "Yet to Come": "Good music? Got them, Good Team? Goddamn!"

    And a must for every Army is defintily CD 3 with unreleased songs and demos! Also the new fan song "For Youth" is a really perfect end to this first chapter of Bangtans journey. And like "Yet to Come" a really promising look in the future.

I love how not a single one of the tracks sound the same, they're all so unique and each demonstrates such a different aspect of BTS' incredible talent and artistry. Personal standout for me was Run BTS; the electric guitar, the raps, the vocals...it was AMAZING and definitely proved the range and versatility that BTS has. It's such a hype anthem and in my opinion, song of the year. Of course, I also absolutely adored Yet to Come and For Youth as well, they're such beautiful songs and I haven't stopped crying to them!! The way they encapsulate BTS' love for ARMY as well as their love for music, reassuring us that 'their moment is still yet to come,' makes these songs such a perfect ending to chapter one of their musical story (and makes me so excited for chapter two). Everything about this album encapsulates who BTS is at their core... and if you haven't listened I absolutely recommend that you do!… Expand

    The sheer amount of poetry and lyrical genius in the album as a whole is incredible! Each song is carefully thought out, the composition is beautiful and the message is always front and center. How could anyone disparage a group that advocates for self-love, mental health, women and children's safety and empowerment? Well done, Bangtan

The 3 new tracks are really so special, Yet To Come is a ballad and the references in the MV is something which all fans were really emotional about. About RUN BTS, what can I say, it's probably my favorite track out of the 3. I understand that former fans want them to release music like they did back in 2013-2014 but I feel like BTS has grown a lot. Their specialty is creating music relevant to their current stage of life, it's like a personal memoir. Asking them to go back to their old music is not right,.. But RUN BTS gives you the energy of the back in the day BTS songs, for those who missed it. For Youth is the one which made me the most emotional, starting with it's intro where all ARMYs sang Young Forever and the fanchants... This album starts with Born Singer, with the lyrics "I'm a born singer" and ends with "I'll be with you for the rest of my life", really heart touching, The lyrics, melodies, everything was spectacular. I've pre ordered a couple Proofs albums, some for me and some to gift to friends and family. This is the best 9th debut anniversary gift we could ask for, thanks BTS!… Expand

    A great album that closes a chapter in their carreer and opens a lot of possibilities for the future. It's amazing to listen it from beginning to the end and see how much they've grown these past 9 years, I'm really curious to see where they're gonna go after this.

    Proof is the first anthology album BTS releases in their 9 years career including 3 brand new tracks.

First CD includes their past title tracks and explains how Korean band became the global phenomenon. Listeners can travel in time from their past to present from Born Singer to Yet To Come which are both excellent choices to start and finish the first CD pointing out BTS' past and future vision. Born Singer which uses J Cole's iconic Born Sinner song as sample brings soothing vocals and brilliant rap together confronts audience with members' concerns on their future, while Yet To Come focuses on a hopeful message for their future. Yet To Come which is the title song of the album definitely deserves its title role which show case members' versatility in singing and rapping, smoothly giving out the hopeful message for their future. CD 2 includes Run BTS which is already one of fans' favorite and also members' own choices (one solo and one unit song for each member). Members also explained why they choose these certain songs in short videos which again shows that they are top tier musician and have clear visions on their art. CD 3 includes unreleased songs and demos which can only be heard in physical CD as well as new fan son For Youth. For Youth uses instrumentals so well that you can almost feel yourself at a BTS concert enjoying the talent of the members. BTS cleverly uses the power of physical only releases to communicate with their fans, sharing their most vulnerable moments. Overall, I recommend this album to everyone, thinking that anyone can find something they'll enjoy. I conclude with saying BTS' best is yet to come.… Expand

    This album is perfect for a veteran fan and also for a newer fan. It gives a important songs from their past while also giving a peak into their future. You can discover bts and fall in love through this album or you can rediscover your love and fall even deeper. The physical album and design is also well thought out and pays homage to the bts of past present and future.

The new songs plus the added demos on disk 3 are really something special. Personally, Run BTS is my favourite and would highly recommend giving this album a listen.

While Yet to come has a bit of Spring Day's feeling of nostalgia it's more upbeat and hopeful and leaves you with a pleasant feeling of eagerly awaiting the next phase of BTS. For You is a song for ARMY that starts of with ARMYs singing Young Forever at Wembley. And if that doesn't make you shed a tear, the lyrics definitely will. In it BTS recognise that them and their fans make this journey together. Run BTS is the crowning gem that tops up this trio of new songs. It fills you with energy and makes you feel there is nothing you can't achieve. It's fresh and yet so BTS. All in all, the album is a beautiful summary of their journey and worth every penny.… Expand

    Proof serves as a nostalgia trip for long-time fans of the septet and a summary introduction for the curious. With thirty old songs, three completely new tracks, and eleven new versions of well-loved classics, this album marks a satisfying closure to their first nine years as a group.

    For fans who were sucked in during the time of “Dynamite” or “Butter” and haven’t dug into their back catalogue just yet, they might be surprised to discover just how broad of a range these songs can stretch. ... Disc 3 is a whole different kind of time capsule: there are 11 unreleased demos, two brand new tracks (“Quotation Mark” and “For Youth”), and one previously-shelved track (“Young Love”) that peel back the curtain on BTS as artists like never before.
