BTS Shares Thoughts Ahead Of Comeback With New Album "Proof"

With just a few hours left until its release, the members of BTS have shared their thoughts on their highly-anticipated new album “Proof“!

“Proof,” which is due out on June 10 at 1 p.m. KST, is a three-CD anthology album that will feature three brand-new songs alongside many of the group’s past hits. A celebration of BTS’s upcoming ninth anniversary, “Proof” will encapsulate the group’s storied discography through tracks personally selected by the BTS members that reflect their thoughts “on the past, present, and future of BTS.”

As BTS awaited the album’s release, RM remarked, “I always get nervous when we release a new song for the first time. I hope many people like it.”

The BTS leader went on, “‘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.”

Meanwhile, Jin commented, “Because ‘Proof’ is an album that encapsulates BTS’s history, it keeps bringing to mind different memories from the past nine years. I myself will be listening to it often.”

He added, “Because there are new songs and unreleased songs on the album, fans will be able to enjoy listening to it as well.”

Suga shared, “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].”

He continued, “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 expressed his excitement by saying, “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,” he continued. “Since [the album] contains BTS’s soul, I hope you’ll give it lots of love.”

Jimin confessed, “Because it’s our first new album in a long time, I feel happy and strange at the same time.”

He went on to note, “It’s a particularly special album because it contains our past title tracks as well as unreleased songs. I felt that it was all the more special because [working on the album] allowed me to peruse the other members’ emotions as well as my own, and because we were able to talk about them together.”

Meanwhile, V remarked, “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.”

Finally, Jungkook observed, “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,” he continued. “It’s an album that does a good job conveying BTS’s story up until now, as well as our current feelings.”

Both “Proof” and the music video for its title track “Yet to Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)” will be released on June 10 at 1 p.m. KST, and BTS will be performing their new title track on music shows starting on June 16.
