    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Álbum perfeito em todos os aspectos, passado, presente e um futuro, suas histórias, tudo que passaram junto com os armys é magnífico. Esse álbum tem importância tanto para o Bts quanto para o army, é nos fazer olhar para trás e ver o quanto o Bts cresceu, o quanto eles são gratos e o quanto eles amam os armys. Os vocais tudo está lindo.… Expand

    This contains a compilation of bts discography throughout 9 years and picked by themselves plus 3-5 new songs! the cd-3 tracklist is definitely *chef's kiss* those demos and studio versions of a collab stage performance between two members (suga & jimin) we don't just get CDs but photobooks and more! plus random PC, postcard, and a set of photocard of the members!

    Been an army for almost 5yrs now and this is the most heart touching album boys have created. It's an emotional represention of their beautiful journey and how far they have come with their own hardwork.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this anthology. From Born Singer until For Youth, the story flowed so well. I love Yet To Come as that song tells their story so well from debut until what's Yet to come. Very well made album. And lastly, my jam of all jams: Run BTS. If you don't automatically start shaking your butt to this song, you may need to go see a doctor

They might already have been in the business for 9 years, but I know they'll have so many more years yet to come with a lot of new adventures. I can't wait for what they bring in the future, but for now, proof is a nice reminder to me why I fell in love with their music.… Expand

    One of the best albums I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Yet to come, For youth and Run BTS, are the best songs of the year. I'm just in love with the album. Listening to them brings me a sense of freedom and youthful spirit. I thank the boys in the group for always delivering a great job.

Their versatility is one of the reasons their fanbase is so diverse. They’re not scared to delve into new genres and do so beautifully, even the biggest hater will find a song they love amongst their diverse discography. I heavily recommend reading translated lyrics too (the site “doolsetbangtan” has them all explained)… 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.
