    This album is so legendary!
    The three new songs are amazing but Yet To Come is my favorite! Yet to come made me cry several times the lyrics and BTS voices are so beautiful. My favorite part in the song Yet To Come is Namjoons rap verse it makes me want to cry I don’t know why. I guess it makes me think about how much of a great person he is and how hard he worked to get the group where    This album is so legendary!

    My other favorite part is the outro. BTS has an amazing vocal line and they really did amazing in the outro. The lyrics really really touch my heart during that part.
    My least favorite part is when the song ends. It’s one of those songs that I want to go on forever and ever.    … Expand

    This album is a testament to how far they have come. It’s a masterpiece, from Yet To Come, Run BTS and For Youth. The older songs relay a story that needed to be told that new and old fans alike will love. If someone had told me Jin recorded a song in English, I would not have believed them. Epiphany on Disc 3 is absolutely breathtaking. Buy the album, you will not regret it.

    Yet To Come song combines the feeling of accepting the past while embracing the future. Run BTS song makes me want to shake my booty! For Youth song makes me sob as a fan. So yeah... PROOF is exactly what an anthology album should be! Stream it all baby!

    The anthology album with demos and songs were amazing. BTS once again proved why they're the biggest band and A class musicians. By the way they reminiscing their bittersweet past of 10 years in just 5 mins shows how much they've grown. I'm so proud of them. This album really proved that they're bulletproof

Also i really love For Youth, which is dedicated to army, they're fanbase. Also i recommend for all of you to search for translation for all the songs. Bts always put meaning in there's lyrics.

I don't understand a thing except those with english lyrics, so I looked the subs on Youtube and wow! They are deep and timely. The songs that I liked are Spring Day, Yet to come and Born Singer I can't say that I am now a fan but I am interested and curious now

The new album is full of songs they released early in their career, and hearing them again on the new album convinced me once again that they are natural born singers. They were created to beautify and save this world with the love and happiness they convey in their songs. Each new song was unique in its own way, one related to the story they have been embodying for years, another tells of their journey and the battles they overcame and the third is dedicated to those they truly love and thank for all their years of existence, the fans. This album, the whole story that once saved many lives and its sequel that will do the same in the future.… Expand

That this has been just the first chapter of their music life, and the best is still not achieved. Run BTS is a personal favourite. The hiphop track tales me back to their debut era songs mostly, and talks about their struggles, and that they'll keep running through every problem they come across. For Youth is for their dedicated fanbase. It starts of with a tune only dedicated armys would understand and never fail to cry, it's just a very beautiful memory for us. Born Singer was earlier released one year into their career. Sampled from J. Cole's Born Sinner, this song is about their passion for music and wish to prove themselves. And they finally prove themselves, through proof.… Expand

    The songs are the path that BTS has traveled, from its beginnings to what they are today. The lyrics, the melodies, the vocals and the rap in their songs demonstrate the excellent artists they are.

    This anthology album encompasses BTS’ journey in the industry so far—and from the looks of it, there is no stopping them.

Starting off at with a track from 2013 entitled “Born Singer”, sampled from rapper J. Cole’s “Born Sinner”, is a fairly touching piece that captures what each of the members strive to achieve with their passion for music. To some people who have not looked into the “multi-genre supergroup”—a title well-deserved given they have experimented (and will continue to experiment) with different music genres—Bangtan Sonyeondan (방탄소년단) may just seem like a group of good-looking men who sing and dance, but nothing erases the fact that they are a group of not only vocalists and dancers, but also producers and songwriters—helping create much of their own output since the beginning of their careers. “Proof” solidifies that and lets us ponder upon how far can they go with their musical capabilities—as teased by the lyrics of “Yet to Come” (title track) and the instrumentals of new tracks such as “Run BTS” and “For Youth”—with “Run BTS” being a fusion of rock and (heavy) hip hop and “For Youth” being a product of mostly acoustic instruments—which is something refreshing in the “BTS genre”. “Proof” is “proof” is of their hard work and undying passion—and us people who are outside their circle can only imagine what they are working towards and what else they are capable of—fan or not. It certainly never hurts to look into the lyrics of their songs, too.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. artistically it is one of the best anthology album ever. i love the placement of the songs so much and i loved hearing the reasons why the decided to pick these older songs to the album in the proof of inspiration series. i also just loved the three new tracks. yet to come that reminds us that the nostalgic past was some of the best moments in life but it doesn’t mean that the future doesn’t hold great things either. run bts is an homage to their hip hop roots that acknowledge the state of mind for bts now comparing to their past — how they have not changed, their essence have remained. and for youth got me very emotional, it was essentially a love letter to ARMY showing how grateful they are from them stick through for the nine years.… Expand

    The anthology is fantastic and a great overview of their career whether you are ancient army, baby army or just now learning about BTS discography for the first time.

    FWIW, Run BTS watered my crops, cleared my skin, my depression and anxiety are gone and I'm hydrated to the max.

    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.
