    Proof is a testament of how far BTS have gone, how great they've endured, and how well they've done. You can clearly see from the get-go how masterful they curated this album to showcase their journey as artists and as people who genuinely have music running in their blood. It really is a perfect way to end their first chapter. Excited for what's in store for them in the future!

    Proof just goes on to show how BTS' 9 years of artistry is filled with an immaculate discography with a wide range of genres. The biggest group in the world is just getting started and then releasing an anthology album is the perfect proof

    This album is a perfect wrap up for BTS’s 9 years of music career. It contains multiple megahits which are self-produced and self-written songs. This album marks as a proof of their achievement and a part of music history, no boundary against languages.

    This anthology album is the best thing that could happen to the late armys such as myself : a deep dive in a long career to show their growth as artists and 4 new songs (excluding the 3rd cd) full of nostalgia and hope for the future! BTS are here to stay

    An amazing album that contains 9 years of musical history one of the biggest band in the world. A perfect gift for the fans and for those who are new to them, this album would be a perfect starting point. The new single Yet To Come made me cry and Run BTS is such a bop!

    'Proof' by BTS is a beautifully crafted anthology album that includes some of BTS' best songs of all time.

With 3 new songs, a remastered song from their rookie days that is finally officially released and 44 more tracks, the album is arguably one of the best albums in BTS' discography. The songs are a beautiful reminder of BTS' journey over a span of 9 years and released only a few days before their 9th debut anniversary makes it even more significant. It is a beautiful way of closing chapter 1 of their musical journey to move on to the next chapter of their music career. In short, this album is a beautiful reminder of who BTS are and where they came from, their growth over the years to become one of the biggest musical acts in the world currently, and a sure-shot assurance that their journey hasn't concluded yet and there's more amazing things that are Yet To Come. All in all, it's an album that will be hard-to-forget for both ARMYs and music fans who genuinely appreciate their artistry. In my personal opinion, it's one of the best albums I have ever listened to and I absolutely don't regret purchasing it.… Expand

    An album that will make even non-fans understand why BTS is so special. Listening to the songs on this album sequentially from beginning to end is like traveling through time. Starting with the affirmation of their identity as musicians in "Born Singer", to the statement expressing BTS' feelings for their fans, ARMY, in "For Youth".

Listening to the songs on this album sequentially from beginning to end is like traveling through time. Starting with the affirmation of their identity as musicians in "Born Singer", to the statement expressing BTS' feelings for their fans, ARMY, in "For Youth".

    BTS has been very well known for its meaningful song lyrics. But especially in this album, it will be really more obvious, especially in the title track "Yet to Come". BTS honestly expressed their hearts to the various praises and acknowledgments of the world for their talents, and what they really want.

    As the album's title suggests, the 35 digital songs (plus 13 other tracks that are only on physical albums), are "proof" that BTS's first love was music, and will continue to be like that forever.    … Expand

    I have been a fan for 7 years and this album is so special for all the armys. It tells a story, a story of their growth, their hardships and their success and it’s very close to our hearts.

In Yet to come song they are conveying the message of how everyone keeps telling them they were the best, but they honestly think their best is yet to come and they are just a bunch of men who love music and will work hard for it. It has a lot of references to all the other songs they released in the past. For non armys it might not make sense without understanding all those songs, but the song can still be enjoyed on its own. It’s a song that is breaking a lot of records BTS hols as a Korean act! Run bts is a complete bop song. Listen to it once and you will know why the fans are crazy over it. It’s raw, powerful, wild and so so addictive. It proves how bts b-side songs are never to be over looked and they prove that with every album. Please stop paying all the trolls here who will never get real music from their fav any attention. Stream proof and BTS, listen to all their songs without any preconceived notions about them or biases and you will see how genuine these guys are and how much they care about music.… 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.
