    Great album. So much to unpack. No skips at all as every track is a gem. Listening to the whole album, BTS takes me back to the journey they started, takes me on a roller coaster ride as the tracks consist of songs you’ll bop your head to but at the same time can make you feel sad, emotional and hopeful too.

    This anthology takes you seamlessly through the back catalogue of BTS'S discography, and with 3 new songs, dedicated to their past, future and the fans that got them there, it leaves you wanting to listen again and rediscover the entire Bangtan Catalogue

    PROOF isn't just an abum. it's a cultural reset, it's the oxygen you breathe, it's a lifestyle, it's a reason to live, it's an escape from this cruel world, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, it's everything you ever wanted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BTS PROOF is a testament of their vast and mesmerizing discography. It emphasizes the fact that there is no skip in their discography.
    The album starts from Born Singer, which captures their essence beautifully even now, though this song was released right after their debut. The whole album takes you on this captivating journey from their rookie years to the legends they are now. The three new songs, Yet to come, RUN, Youth are gems which will have their own fan following.
    I suggest you to give Proof a listen and you will come out not just falling for these amazing lyrical genuises, their music but also the Korean language.
    Don't take my word for it, go for Proof and u wouldn't regret it!!!    … Expand

    Proof showed more than just a high level of musical genius and great lyricism. It also beautifully presented how BTS came to be, where they started and how they aim to continue in the future. The tracks are amazingly put together as well.

    Layered songs which are rich with authentic emotions, and memorable beats. Transitions between vocals and raps sections are seamless. Cannot get enough.

    Um álbum muito bom, com músicas marcantes e viciantes! Esse algum antológico do BTS é uma verdadeira obra prima, não somente por contar a história do BTS em si, mas também por ser algo nostálgico, onde podemos ver que eles realmente batalharam muito para chegar onde estão

    There's a saying in my language that goes "World's biggest fortune is Aspiration". This holds truest for BTS. They worked hard and aspired to be the best at their art.

    Amazing album! BTS’s discography will never not amaze me. Their ability to communicate through music is top notch and is the reason they have been successful for 10 years and counting. This anthology album is a true gift and I love their new songs, Yet to Come, Run BTS and For Youth.

    A beautiful album and heartfelt reflection on BTS’ past 9 years. New tracks brought me to tears in their thoughtful acknowledgment of time gone by and the fleeting news of youth combined with BTS’ stunning success and ceaseless optimism for the future. And Run BTS is just a BOP.

    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.
