    perferct!!! it's an important album in their career, where they tell their story and put an end to a chapter of their career, to start another one, the seven members did an excellent job on the album, and they were essential.

    Literally the Best thing I've heard! So glad to have this anthology right around the time of their 9th anniversary. Enjoying every single second while listening to all the tracks... It's awesome to reminisce the years I've spent with them as the older tracks play! BTS are the best and this is the Proof!!

    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

    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.

Each CD contains a new song that perfectly represents each CD. Yet To Come is an anthem of how their past music was great, but their best has yet to come and how they will keep running toward their best selves. Run BTS is a heart pumping anthem of how BTS’s grit & determination is what got them through the hard time & what has helped to propel them to global superstars. For Youth is a love letter to ARMY—to the ones who have helped BTS achieve their dreams & who have given them solace & a light during the dark & difficult times.

    Nothing speaks more of BTS than this 3-cd anthology album. The group shares all the important songs in chronological order telling their stories from 9 years ago until the present. Truly something they able to dedicate to their ARMY fans, this album will make you reminisce and wipe tears while singing, dancing and bopping -- something only BTS can do.

    the album to have, it's incredible. the 1st cd contains their title track, the 2nd is composed of songs chosen by the members and the 3rd cd contains the demos that the members have worked on throughout their career, they are really great, the songs are totally different of their final versions and it shows the hard work done

    The album was a masterpiece. If you listen to the tracks in order, you could tell how difficult and beautiful the journey of the band. Also, the title track was so emotional as it was referenced to their older music videos. Looking forward to hear more music from BTS.

    I think this album really reflects bts' artistry and passion for music. It shows how they tranformed and improved throughout the years. It is honestly refreshing to see artists who are so passionate and who genuinely love music. The variety of genres and techniques throughout the album are also so incredible. They are very good at what they do. Props to BTS!

    CD2 begins with the fiery rap anthem Run BTS and continues with a series of solo and sub-unit songs chosen by the members themselves which include some of the best b sides of BTS' career and is riddled with musical gems such as Seesaw, Euphoria, Singularity, Cypher Pt 3, Jamais Vu to name a few.

    CD 3 comprises of unreleased demos and is available only on CD format with For Youth being the only song available digitally.

    The 3 new songs on the album - Yet to Come, Run BTS and For Youth are a testament to the versatility BTS have displayed over the years as they successfully straddle multiple genres of music from pop to rap and hip-hop.

    In all the album is a must buy not only for existing fans but for anyone who wants to understand why BTS have captivated the hearts of millions globally with their music.    … Expand

    Run BTS alone would do it for me. The rap part, especially Hoseok's, were bomb. The part where V sang "If we live fast, let us die young," is an earworm. I can't get it out of my head. The album in general though, is really good. I like that this is what closes the first chapter of BTS. I can't wait for the new era.

    This album is the proof of how much they've grown throughout the years. They've come so far... My tannies have come so far. They survived and they will survive any difficulties together as seven, as one. ARMYs will always have their back no matter what. Proof wraps up their chapter one. It contains 9 years of hard work. I'd love to see and witness how they will unravel their chapter two.

    I really love the album,first it was my first full comeback as an army so it was a chance to listen to BTS old discography in one place
    I'll be honest I hadn't listened to some BTS music before proof.

    It gave me a chance to understand and appreciate BTS different styles.
    From the new songs my favorite is Run BTS.
    I'd recommend giving it a listen.

    PROOF is an amazing and give newer fans an occasion to experience BTS earlier work. This album really demonstrates the wide musically ranges that BTS possesses. There’s hiphop music, rnb, pop, etc The new songs (Yet to come, Run BTS, For Youth) are an amazing way to close the first chapter of BTS career. Looking forward to what they are releasing next

Honestly I am so amazed, their entire discography is so diverse.I Anthology album can't be made by any random artist. This album says alot about BTS. I recently read the lyrics of Yet to come.

    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.
