    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

    I haven't stopped streaming the album since yesterday and can't wait for the physical unit to arrive soon. This comeback is very special as they reminisce their hardships and achievements throughout their 9 years of career. I'm proud of how far they've come

    Full of nostalgia. BTS look back at their greatest hits and show the audience why they are the best at what they do
    This album has quality like all the others, but it has something else that awakens positive feelings in us

    I was pretty sick on my birthday, and started the day quite miserable. However this albums release that afternoon turned what would have been a crappy birthday into a happy memory.

    This album is really phenomenal!! Especially if you look into the new songs. There are 3 total new songs and my favorite got to be Run BTS. This anthology album has too many iconic songs to choose. The demos in this album are also very interesting

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love how we can see the different genres and musical journey of BTS. I especially love how we can see the progression of the themes and messages of their songs, going from talking about struggles as students, to youths, loving oneself, and self-acceptance. From the three new tracks, they emphasize once more the love that they have for music, for their fans, and also talking about their journey, how they're closing a chapter but is venturing into a new one, promising to always return for their fans, and because of their love of music and of BTS. The title track, Yet to Come, is a beautiful song. I especially love the music, vocals, rap, and melodg of the song. It is very moving and definitely delivers the message they want to convey with this anthology album. My only qualm is the background sound that is like a playbacked track similar to that of what they did with Life Goes On. Unfortunately, I didn't like it in this one but aside from that, YTC is a song that I very much love. Next new song is Run BTS. A more upbeat song. It's a very exciting song. A definite fan-favorite. The last song is For Youth which is definitely my favorite track. This was incredibly breathtaking and moved me so much to the brink of tears. I love everything about this song, I can repeat it over and over again. Ofcourse, this album also includes Born Singer. It's very fitting to see the album start with them talking about their dream and aspiration, how they ARE born singers, and ending with a song dedicated to their fans, ARMYS. This was a very heartfelt album and I am very proud to be a fan of BTS. I am proud of how far they've come, of their achievements, of their journey. This album perfectly encapsulates why BTS have captured the heart of many and why they are one of the greatest artists in the world, because of their love for music, love for their fans, their teamwork and unyielding perseverance in pursuit of their dreams. BTS have always made great music, great performances, and moving and powerful messages with their songs, this anthology album is a PROOF of that.… Expand

    The album is really nice, the quality of photocards, it's pages are smooth and the content in it really tells 9 years journey of BTS which is very impressive. The colours used in the album overall design everything is so beautiful. It is worth buying album and I'll recommend it to other to buy also.

    Listening to Proof is a trip down the memory lane. I won't forget how Jimin caught my attention in their MV for Blood, Sweat and Tears with his elegant moves and delicate voice.

    An album with all their previous hits. Not everyone can release an anthology album. The album firmly states how vast and amazing their discography is. The 3 new songs are so beautiful. 'Yet to come' is so calming and beautiful. 'Run bts' my favorite, I have no words for this song. DAMN GOOD. And 'For Youth' makes me so emotional and happy. LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH

    BTS has done it once again. I learned about them in 2013 and officially became an army in early 2014. With that said Proof is a shining example as to why BTS deserve the praise, love and massive fandom they have. So many different emotions can be felt in this album and they all feel genuine and like they are coming from the heart and that truly is what BTS is all about.

You can tell BTS have not lost their love for their craft just by listening to their newest songs like Yet to Come and Run BTS(my two favorite new songs which I can’t stop listening to). I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them and of course I will continue to support them. On to chapter two.… Expand

    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.

    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.
