    This tells you their story and somehow shows you how they've evolved not only music-wise but also personality-wise. Listening to this album, I cried, laughed, danced, and remembered all the beautiful moments we've experienced with Bangtan so far. There isn't a better way to conclude an iconic chapter.

    I love this Anthology album!!! What a great summary to BTS music career. They are so versatile with their genres and you can see it here in Proof. Obsessed with the new song Run BTS! Everyone should give this album a listen.

    Anthology album that consists of hits after hits. This album includes different genres that explains the artistry of BTS. Yet to come is my favorite. The lyrics is so good and it reflects BTS' past, present, and future. The new track For Youth is heartwearming as well especially to me as a fan who witnessed their growth as an artist. Run BTS is definitely an ass shaking track!

The album starts with "born singer" which is a remake of the great JCole's "born sinner", and let me tell you how taken back i was at how emotionally raw it was, even before reading the lyrics (and they were all in their teen years when they wrote it, mind blowing). I'm still slowly discovering the rest of the tracks and deeply diving into them, which will no doubt take some time, but i am enjoying the ride .. i definitely implore everyone to give it a listen.… Expand

    The best album ever made. CD 1 is nostalgic for recreating the history of BTS. CD 2 shows the BTS members' vision. CD 3 shows their dedication and passion for music. A complete journey of BTS

    I had already loved all the older songs in the anthology, so it's not surprising that I thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed this album. The new tracks are very meaningful for both BTS and ARMY (the dedicated fanbase) and also just a lot of fun.

Born Singer has always had a special place for us, as the septet had put it out years ago on sound cloud and given us a few live performances. It's wonderful to finally be able to listen to it along with all of their album drops.… Expand

    Listening to the track repetitively and there's still so much to unravel. It's why BTS are not the kind of artist that makes music that needs repetitive listening to finally find it appealing, there's too much control from their involvement therefore it's this impeccable.

    As an anthology album, Proof did a good job of reminding people of the past BTS and how BTS has evolved. It traces their journey from the first song being "Born Singer" to the end of CD 3 single - "For Youth" which even represents ARMYS as their best friend. For the latest K-pop stans, it might not be their cup of tea, but from the beginning, this album was called an "anthology".

    Mine favourite one was Run BTS. I like how this anthology album brought about showed all those amazing years of their hard work.
    It was very nice that they put those demo version, as we all know that very few artist make their own music.

    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.
