From this lead single, Yet To Come, it was symbolic and meaningful from all the memories of the songs included , and if you're not a fan of them,  you won't understand what I'm talking about. And i love how they dicided to released an antology album which is a perfect way to close door and started a new chapter. Thank you so much BTS for creating this masterpiece and what should we wanna focus on! BTS fighting!… Expand

    PROOF is a wonderful album by BTS which takes you through their journey of the past 9 years as musicians and how they grew to become the biggest band in the world with their hardwork and talent from a mere bankrupt agency.
    The 3 CDs are gorgeous. BTS albums are top notch.
    It contains all of BTS's hits till date which closes their 1st chapter.

    A new ERA of BTS begins!

    PROOF is actually our proof that BTS are not simply a boy band, but a group of artist that can go from a ballad like Yet To Come to pop-rock insanely good song like Run BTS.
    Great music and great hope for their future.

    This album is beautifully created with tracks that amazingly tells BTS story and journey since debut. Proof album is like a walk on desert and ocean since BTS didn't shy away from their hardships but instead embrace it and use it as their inspiration to push harder. The tracks are smartly selected by the members themselves to be shared to other especially to their fans, ARMY'S.

    Only 9 years into their career they've done everything some musicians took decades to do still with as much care and attention to detail like during their debut. It's truly amazing what these boys can achieve, and Proof is their proof, it's self explanatory.

    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.
