    An anthology album of their best hits and personal favourite plus CD only demos of earlier songs, Proof illustrates BTS' 9 year long journey, bookended with 3 new songs all with a different flavour.

There is no doubt that the Album is for fans also known as the BTS ARMY but it is also a great initiation for newer listeners who have come to know BTS through their series of English songs and collabs in the last 2 years. At the same time it also serves as a summary of old and new songs for old fans. If the 35 song long discography doesn't do it for you, the 3 new songs, Yet to Come, RUN BTS and For Youth showcases the Korean bands versatility and genre-spanning sound.
    A recommendation would be to listen to the album in its original order to really enjoy the storytelling being done there.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This anthology album is amazing! The way BTS released their new, demo, and remastered song is beyond my expectations. They have always exceeded their fan's need and expectations. The album consist of 3 CD. They have 3 new songs, which are Yet To Come, their title track, Run BTS, the fans most favorite B-side, qnd For Youth. They also have a new song on the 3rd CD, Quotation Mark, and Young Love. This album is not only bringing back their past vibe, but also a reminder that they are still the same BTS , they are here for the music, and they will continue doing what they're best at.

    Fighting, BTS!    … Expand

    It shows their growth from when they started until now, not a single skip in this album. This album showcases their versatility as artist and how diverse their music is. If you want to get into BTS, this album is a good option to get to know them.

    I LOVE this album. First of all, I think it takes a lot of courage to release your own demos in an Anthology album. This shows how vulnerable and sincere you are when you're crafting your art.

    A jewel of an album that brilliantly showcases all of BTS's range over their 9-year career. Proof is both an excellent intro into the septet's artistry for newbies as well as an unabashed love letter to their longtime fans. The new tracks go from refreshing alternative hip-hop (Yet to Come) to sizzling rock (Run BTS) to tear-jerking fan song (For Youth).

    The album with different themes about bts career is spectacular, it's great to know more about the group and see how diverse they are and shows how much fandom matters to them. While giving a preview of what they are to the world, they honor those who have always been on their side: A.R.M.Y.

    This is probably the best album anyone could find. Every single song in the album is a masterpiece with best lyrics, production quality, vocals and rap. BTS is the best and this is the proof.
    The new songs are as always spot on and great. I am especially in love and obsessed with Run BTS. If you love music then Proof definitely would be your favorite.

    As a fan that’s been listening to BTS for over 6 years, this album means so much to me. I love how all the special songs over the eras are included and how much they mean to us as they do for the boys. Yet to come, For youth and Run BTS are such beautiful songs and I’m so proud to be a part of the fandom and to be along this journey with BTS.

    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.
