Following months of pre-promotion, BTS have released their first anthology full length ‘Proof’, including the brand new single ‘Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)’.
Including their biggest hits and previously unheard demo versions of their solo and group tracks such as ‘ON’, ‘Boy with Luv’ featuring Halsey, ‘Butter’ and ‘Dynamite’ plus three new songs, ‘Yet To Come’, ‘For Youth’ and ‘Run BTS,’ the K-Pop band have consolidated the past nine years of their career into a 48-track, three-disc compilation.
The septet members RM, Jin, J-Hope, V, Suga, Jimin and Jungkook paid careful attention to the order of the tracks that tell a biographical story.
About the new releases RM said “I always get nervous when we release a new song for the first time. I hope many people like it.“‘Proof’ is a special album that wraps up Chapter 1 of BTS’s story as we face the ninth anniversary of our debut. As the focus of the album is our message for our fans who have been together with us for the past nine years, we paid the most attention to our lyrics.”
Jin added: “Because ‘Proof’ is an album that encapsulates BTS’ history, it keeps bringing to mind different memories from the past nine years. I myself will be listening to it often. Because there are new songs and unreleased songs on the album, fans will be able to enjoy listening to it as well.”
Suga commented: “Because it’s an album that encapsulates BTS’s history, we paid careful attention to how the songs were organized on the album. If you listen to the album starting from the first track, there’ll be a certain fun in listening to it [in order]. It’s an honor to be able to capture our journey of the past nine years in this new album ‘Proof.’ I hope that those listening to the album will follow and walk along with our footprints one more time.”
J-Hope stated: “Because it’s our first time releasing an album in a long while, I’m excited and overjoyed. I want to enjoy [the album] together with our fans as quickly as possible. ‘Proof’ is an album that summarizes the biography of BTS and [our fans] ARMY, and it’s all the more special because our memories and time together are captured in it. “Since [the album] contains BTS’ soul, I hope you’ll give it lots of love.”
V chimed in with “As it’s an album that captures our journey of the past nine years, I sincerely hope that it will become a precious gift for the fans who have always cheered us on and have made history for us.”
And Jungkook remarked: “It feels like we’ve been writing a really thick book and are now finishing it. “Just like we’ve always done with our albums up until now, we paid attention to all aspects while working on it. “It’s an album that does a good job conveying BTS’s story up until now, as well as our current feelings.”
