    Proof is a testament to BTS' immaculate discography. Listening to the songs on Disc 1, you can see how they evolve as artists over the years. Disc 2, captures their individual taste in music. Disc 3, gives you a glimpse on the amount of work they put in behind each and every song they put out. The 3 new songs show their versatility as artists, different genres but still you can feel the emotion.

El crecimiento del grupo desde sus inicios ha sido duro y se ha enfrentado a distintos obstáculos los cuales ha podido enfrentar con éxito gracias a su perseverancia, trabajo duro y amor por la música; así como a la cercana relación que mantiene con sus fans a quiénes dedica la canción For Youth, en agradecimiento por su constante apoyo y fé en la música que el grupo escribe, compone y produce. Run BTS por otro lado reconoce el duro trabajo y resitencia del grupo a lo largo de su recorrido a pesar de las dificultades, y expresa su determinación a seguir corriendo y avanzando a través de las balas sin que les derribe una sola. Finalmente Yet To Come le da la bienvenida al siguiente capítulo en su carrera, agradecidos por los logros obtenidos durante los últimos 9 años (como sus primeras dos nominaciones al grammy, diversos #1 en las listas de música más importantes de todo el mundo y los 784 premios que los han colocado como el 4to acto musical más premiado en la historia); y tan ansiosos como emocionados por conocer lo que les depara en el siguiente viaje. Proof además de reconocer la carrera a prueba de balas del grupo surcoreano, presenta los clásicos de Bangtan Sonyeondan, que demuestran que BTS no surgió de la nada y que no es tan sólo un grupo más del momento; y si de momento se trata, el de BTS no tiene planeado acabarse en un largo tiempo.… Expand

    From beginning to end - the best! Captures the 10 year journey of BTS from the early struggles to the top of the industry. Old favorites, unreleased work, demo cuts and four new songs. Cannot stop listening to Run BTS. They are bulletproof!

    A nice album to close the first chapter of the group’s career and start a new one. The title track Yet To Come sums up the theme of this album perfectly, the vocal and rap performance, as well as the lyrics and melody is gorgeous. My personal favorite: for youth.

    This album is absolutely immaculate. It clearly shows the past, present, and future of BTS. And I get chills every single time I listen to Yet to Come. It's such a profound song that makes me excited of what's in store for us and for BTS. And Run BTS is literally THAT song with vocal runs that have me going insane and the LYRCISM!! BTS proved themselves with this anthology album.

    One of the best Anthology albums. It's a reflection of their 9 year career where they broke world records and set new paths in the history of pop music. The collection of songs show bts's versatility as artists ranging from hiphop to pop ballads. Their 3 new songs are them reminiscing and setting up their future in music. BTS never fails to impress.

    Une masterpiece. Cette anthologie retrace parfaitement le parcours effectué par les Bangtan Boys depuis leurs débuts en 2013. Outre 4 titres inédits, tous leurs titres principaux s'y trouvent (cd1), on y trouve également un titre solo pour chacun des membres ainsi que des subunits et des démos (cd2 et 3).

    This anthology album will, in ten or twenty years time, be seen as a reminder BTS at their best. They have yet to peak, and peaking will be wholly on their own terms. They reshape the music Industry they dominate by playing at their own rules and by inspiring millions.

They reshape the music Industry they dominate by playing at their own rules and by inspiring millions. Don't be mistaken: old-fashioned ideas of who 'the general public' is, is nothing but code for 'Old Whyte Men'. As if BTS needs their approval. Proof is a masterpiece because it was compiled by the members themselves while looking critically and fondly at their past selves. A song like RUN BTS is an older bangtan speaking to their younger counterparts. For Youth is an ode to a love greater than romantic love. And Title track Yet To Come is a soft hip hop ode to growing up and past regrets, future regrets, self doubt and self assurance. Duality like only BTS can cram around a soulful beat and earwormy hook. I will treasure this album and can only hope a new generation will find this album in their parents, or aunts and uncles shelves and unearth this treasure trove of wisdom, humor and love.… Expand

It also sheds light on their vast and extremely versatile discography. This anthology album is really a proof of their impeccable artistry and musical skills. Opening with born singer this album delves into how they were meant to be capable musicians and the album certainly don't let those expectations of yours down. Not enough words to praise their extremely capable artistry. This album does nothing but solidify that notion even further.… Expand

There is a reason they are the biggest group across the globe and the album is the proof. I would 100% recommend for those who want to explore not just one genre but astonishing mix of many, to cry a little and dance a little. Also, I can never ever have enough words to describe and fawn over their commendable penmanship!… 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.
