    I really like this album. It is an anthology album and the vibe it has perfect. Starting that album with Born Singer is perfect. Yet To Come is really good. Especially the lyrics. I really liked their promise to keep going. Let's walk together to forever BTS. Run BTS is such a bop. Everything about the dong is perfect. And For Youth is really special. Thank you for Proof BTS.

    This just proves that BTS really is the best, after waiting since BE, I can totally confirm that it was worth. Proof literally was above my expectations. I really love all the new songs and the fact that Born Singer is on this album is a cherry on top of this rare, once in a life time, stunning cake.

With the members of BTS being top notch songwriters, rappers, composers, producers and vocalists, they bring this time not just an ordinary album, but a journey that summarisers the incredible musical journey that BTS have had over the past decade and reflects their endless versatility, passion and thirst for music.

    This album perfectly embodies the definition of what an anthology album is. All the songs are great in their respective genres. It dives and reminds you the top tier discography BTS has. The new songs have their own stories to tell from the past, to the present, and as well as the future BTS. Proof is an example of a legendary anthology album an artist can have.

    Proof is a summary of a great career - so far. No matter when you discovered them, this will bring out a lot of emotions.

    A journey through the title tracks on Disc 1 shows how they evolved and tried new things. So many different genres but in every song is the heart of those "7 boys from Korea". And the last track "Yet to Come" on Disc 1 promises even greater things in the next years.    Proof is a summary of a great career - so far.

    And the last track "Yet to Come" on Disc 1 promises even greater things in the next years. With all the references and beautiful lyrics it really is a promise I believe.

    Disc 2 with their favourite solo and unit songs. Really interesting to see what songs Bangtan values the most on their journey! And with their second new track "Run BTS" they are delivering right on the promise they gave us just a song before with "Yet to Come": "Good music? Got them, Good Team? Goddamn!"

    And a must for every Army is defintily CD 3 with unreleased songs and demos! Also the new fan song "For Youth" is a really perfect end to this first chapter of Bangtans journey. And like "Yet to Come" a really promising look in the future.

    The album is an excellent way to showcase their journey from the start. The first song being Born Singer already opens the album in the best way possible. The title track "Yet to Come" truly shows their love for their art and how they are just as in love with music as they were 9 years before. "Run BTS" will definitely make you fall in love with it.

    This album was amazing and filled with nostalgia. This album was specifically meant for the BTS fanbase, Army. In this album they reminisced on Chapter 1 of their careers and if you have been apart of that ride you can’t help but have love for this piece of art.

    An anthology album I never thought I needed! I absolutely love all the songs in the album especially the new tracks. It doesn’t matter if I heard most of the songs before though. I still listened to it from cover to cover. BTS has done it again!

    This album takes you on a journey from BTS's debut till their superstardom. The first CD starts with Born Singer- the first ARMY anthem and ends with the new title track Yet to Come- the song that assures that the best is yet to come for BTS.

    This album is perfect for a veteran fan and also for a newer fan. It gives a important songs from their past while also giving a peak into their future. You can discover bts and fall in love through this album or you can rediscover your love and fall even deeper. The physical album and design is also well thought out and pays homage to the bts of past present and future.

    The album is really the anthology of BTS. They started young and more hip hop. They grew. I love to listen to the songs and notice the growth. I am more blues and R and B fan but with BTS I honestly will try anything. Spoiler: Run BTS is soooooooo addictive.

    Anthology album to be listened in order, really well curated considering the extended discography of BTS. You can listened and feel the growth as artists and the range they have regarding music genres.
    Each new music is the perfect combination for each CD theme

    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.
