    The discography of BTS over span of 9 years is wide. The songs in this anthology album covers only a snippet of their songs. The 3rd cd are never before heard demos of some of their hit songs. A very special treat for ARMYs who are very familiar with their songs. The 3 new songs Yet to Come, Run BTS and For Youth show case their versatility in their singing and producing.

They are singing in their native language, Korean, with some English words. Their word play in their lyric writing is phenomenal so when hear them rap or sing you can't help but to fall in love it.… Expand

    This album is very special to me, it contains their old songs that invite us to look back and end their first chapter with a song that describes their feelings, i'm really looking forward to the next album with a new chapter

    All of my fave BTS songs in one album and I am so happy! BTS have nothing to prove to anyone cos they are in a level of their own. I’m so proud of this album and especially to BTS for giving us their best in each comeback. This album is a masterpiece! What a beautiful gift to ARMYs!

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This anthology album takes us from the beginning of 7 normal Korean boys trying to find their place in the world to the present day juggernauts that have brought about such influence and change that they have been recognized by South Korea’s government and by the White House. While it closes the chapter on the first nine years of their career, it also looks forward to the future of these extraordinary men, while thanking their fans (ARMY) for sticking with them and supporting them. The music goes across many genres, while classified as K-Pop, BTS has everything from ballads, dis tracks, rap, trot, and everything in between as well as the one Run BTS track that reminds me of so many 80’s bops. Don’t expect a specific when you listen to this album, but keep an open heart and mind to all of the emotions, and places these songs can take you. It’s a wonderful roller coaster of nine years of music. Cannot wait to see what they do next.… Expand

BTS' music is very vast and summing it in one genre would be doing it wrong. besides the official releases, BTS has been releasing music on soundcloud years before their debut till now.

    A combination of the group’s most impactful songs, whether it be on the charts or in their personal career, curated in a way that takes you on a journey through their discography. The album is beautiful and contains amazing new songs as well as older ones that really paint the picture of where BTS stands today in their career.

    The songs in the PROOF album are astronomically amazing. The vocals are enticingly addictive, the melodies are enchanting, the rap is like a 5 star Michelin and the title track ‘Yet To Come’ is absolutely beautiful and makes me feel emotional. The demos are lovely and the three new songs are awesome. The concept photos were very cute and cool.

    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.
