PROOF is an anthology album meant to reflect on BTS chronicle, each member musical taste, and the fans. It consists of previous tracks from the group’s nine years of discography, demos, as well as three brand new songs—“Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment),” “달려라 방탄,” and “For Youth.”
Tracks No. 35-47 are available only on the physical versions of the album.
The title is a reference to the Korean name of the group (Bangtan Sonyeondan / 방탄소년단), which translates to ‘Bulletproof Boyscouts.’
The release of the album celebrates their debut anniversary (June 13, 2013), a fitting date for an album meant to historicize the group’s artistry.
This is a special album that closes the first chapter of BTS, which marks its ninth anniversary this year. We cared for the lyrics the most as our message for fans who have been with us for the past nine years is central.

We made this album by paying attention to everything just like we have done so far, so it is an album that shows the time (we have spent together) and our current emotions well.
