BTS Are Back -- And Are More Bulletproof Than Ever

Comeback Season is always part of every Kpop fan's milestone calendar.  New music means new concepts, new photos, new merchandise, new charts and records to beat. And if there is any other fandom more passionate about all these, it's arguably the BTS ARMY (present company included).

What makes this Comeback more special than the previous ones?  For starters, the family is way bigger now and a lot of ARMYs are experiencing the Comeback Season for the first time.  So multiply the excitement, and the intensity a million fold and you get the picture.

But also, this album marks a significant phase in our Bangtan Boys' career.  An anthology album means an opportunity to revive and revisit the previous eras that produced masterpieces such as Boy In Luv (???) and I Need U but in demo versions.  Then of course, the inclusion of the epic Born Singer and Tony Montana which bring us back to those early episodes in their career that highlighted major challenges but only proved in time how much of a powerful force they are in the industry -- and the rest of the world.

The album comes with three CDs, with tracklists showcasing an eclectic mix of their hits and solos plus three new tracks -- Yet To Come (with the MV dropping this Friday as well), Run BTS and For Youth.  The 48-track album will be a trip down memory lane but each song with a twist as never-before-heard (demo) versions will be released, giving ARMYs coming from every era something fresh to look forward to and yet. something meaningful to look back on.

Nine years together is not an easy feat, and with every milestone, every obstacle, that these boys have achieved and overcome, celebrating with an anthology album that commemorates their journey to being THE biggest band in the world, well we wouldn't expect anything less. To say this upcoming album will be a collection of pure poetry, I guarantee will be an understatement.

PROOF will be available from 1pm KST, this Friday 10 June 2022.
