“Yeah, the past was honestly the best. But my best is what comes next,” sings V of BTS on Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment), the lead single of the K-pop boy band’s new album, Proof.

Out on June 10, the three-disc anthology features new and old songs from the history-making group, and reflects the past, present and future of BTS and their fans, known collectively as Army.

Fronted by Yet To Come, an airy, nostalgic track with alt hip-hop infusions and promises of more to come, Proof arrives ahead of the superstar group’s ninth anniversary on June 13.

As the song suggests, Proof, which begins with the earliest songs from the group and runs through some of their biggest hits, represents a milestone for BTS as they look set to go in a new direction.

The music video for Yet To Come further leans into the band’s past while looking towards the future, and features elements and sets from music videos from throughout their career.
