    The perfect way to end the chapter 1 of their career and to open a new chapter. The title track Yet to Come has nostalgic vibes, which is like reading their diary and their thoughts about what they feel with how far they have come.

The title track Yet to Come has nostalgic vibes, which is like reading their diary and their thoughts about what they feel with how far they have come. One of their 2013 songs Born Singer has been re-released and was a perfect start of their anthology, which described their dreams, aspirations and the obstacles they faced at the beginning of their career. Run BTS, the hip-hop track, describes how they are each other's support in their journey and how they worked hard together to reach where they are. The final new song of the ANTHOLOGY For Youth is a heartfelt letter to the fans, and how they are each other's best friend. Divided into 3 CDs, CD1 represents BTS as a group, CD2 represents individuality of each member, describing their own distinct personalities and CD3 is specialised for fans, which contains demos and 2 unreleased older tracks. CD3 is like the torn pages of a diary no one was supposed to read. It displays their raw works and is exclusively for fans, available only on CD and not on digital streaming platforms. The rest of the album has 31 older songs, each a timeless hit.

    To conclude, this has to be one of their most personal works ever, standing side by side with BE, and retraces their journey from their debut until now, reminiscing all the ups and downs of their career. This is an album which will be cherished by fans for a long time, because of the message they wanted to convey with their album.    … Expand

    This album will give you a chance to listen to BTS' amazing discography while also telling you about their history. Their past struggles, hardships, successes and failures, everything packed into one album. I recommend this album to anyone who has been curious about this internationally popular band.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BTS ‘Proof’ sums up their stand as musicians through the years. It shows their growth and their undeniable talent and seriousness about their chosen career. Their respect to their craft and their peers can be seen here. Yet To Come tags my heart the way they walk memory lane through their music video. The meaningful nuances of every scenes amd every sounds you hear on the music video can only be understood by their avid listeners while the basic meaning can inspire a casual listener.
    Run BTS is the HYPE SONG that talks about their journey sinceroolies days to their success years!!! The humble beginnings of sevwn mates that was alien to the city of Seoul brave the giant industry of korean music. Like we all joke about, BTS had 5$ and BIG DREAMS!! What back them up was their unwavering love for their music and looking back to those who support all the time. Their music talks about society and it’s unfairness. Many relates to their music and many is inspired to their journey as musicians. This is their PROOF of their chapter1. Looking forward to more.    … Expand

    Proof tells the story of BTS over the last nine years of their career. It describes their journey through three CDs -1:describing their career arc as a band,2: showcasing the members' individual talents in their team, and 3 : giving an intimate look into songs before they were released or finalized. It takes great courage to be able to share things such as the demos to the whole world toProof tells the story of BTS over the last nine years of their career.

I believe BTS has crafted this album exceptionally well , to give casual listeners a look into why they are the biggest musical act in the world, and for ARMY it is a gift to reminisce treasured memories or to understand their journey so far,if you just found them recently. With this album, they close the first chapter of their career and look ahead at a bright , shining future which brims with amazing possibilities.… Expand

    This anthology album really draws the attention to BTS' amazing discography and how their music from their debut until today stayed uncomperable. From music to lyrics, every song is unique experience that deserves its own appreciation. 3 new tracks are the great addition to already amazing discography. quite literally changed my life.

Yet To Come is emotional while RUN BTS is sexy track. One more song is For Youth which is for BTS fandom ARMY. This album is something proof of BTS being the one they are right now which is at TOP.

Listening to it is like going on a journey on BTS history. You can see how they started, how they improved and how they have become during all these years. All songs are different and have their own style, enjoyed every song in the album. Worth the price.… Expand

    Awesome album! Old hits with some new hits! Very well produced new songs! Would love it if bts continue with the sounds shown on yet to come, born singer and RUN BTS. Dem Jointz’s production on RUN BTS paired with BTS’ fun lyrics and hype vocals brings it all together.

    kpoppies, leaving negative reviews won't make your groups more talented or successful. BTS still the standard, and your faves wish they had every ounce of bts success, but that will never happen :)

    now back to Proof, a great anthology album that shows BTS incredible discography since their debut 9 years ago. The 4 new songs (3 + Born Singer) are the perfect addition for this album.

    This is not just an anthology album, this is the Proof of their success, their story, their struggles, this is a fight for their music. Looking back, from where they started to the best moment that is yet to come, this is not just an album, this is THE BTS ALBUM, their truth and their proof.

    did so much justice for an anthology album. And the 3 new songs were absolutely beautiful, well-composed, and produced. Was extremely happy as a hip-hop fan to get a song like Run BTS in this album. BTS proves they will continue making good music for goodnl listeners

    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.
