BTS PROOF X VOGUE - OT7

When I planned to do this collection, I wanted to really encapsulate what the album embodies; which includes their history, looking back on their past endeavors. I will explain every page in my posts, in hope that you can see why this collection means so much to me.

[ OT7 - Front Page ]

The first page of the OT7 piece, I chose the photo of them in the music video Yet To Come, as it's a song reflecting their thoughts and ideas on the past, present and future and from the scene chosen, it's the scene when they're running to the bus - repeating history.

The quote below I chose is from Namjoon's ending ment during their last PTD concert in LA, where he shared how BTS and ARMY are bulletproof together — also hinting their anthology album.

This collection of BTSPROOFXVOGUE is a reminder, a reflection of their endeavors, which is why I believe that the photo chose suits the quote so well as the idea of running, you will along the way reflect as well. And in that journey of reflection, is like we realise along the way that BTS and ARMY are made for each other; bullet and proof. Hence, we are bulletproof.

All in all, this is a mere reflection. We all know we have to move on, but thankfully, we are in this together. BTS made us believe that “the best is yet to come”. Hence, I added that phrase at the right side of the page.

Namjoon’s ending ment is also highlighted in the Proof Standard Album Book - The Art of Proof, which I will delve in further in the second page.

[ OT7 - Back Page ]

This page is, you can say, an overview of the book in the Proof Standard Album; The Art of Proof.

Every part of this album is a reminder of PROOF - literally. Even its logo. You can see that all are letters are in a form of vertical trapezoids - you can flip it in any direction. Flipping it one way makes it a BTS logo, flipping it another way makes it an ARMY logo. The act of flipping each other is like a door too. Like BTS always said, Army and BTS are one — a door for each other, a muse for each other.

Which means, geniusly, just by those vertical trapezoids, it already encompasses the Art of Proof, isn’t it? Beautiful.

The Art of Proof includes a reminder of what the identity of BTS is; Reflection of Youth. Their whole discography is a reflection of youth, representing youth, fighting for our rights, fighting for music.

I honestly believe Proof is a very good and concise anthology album, a very concise way of ending a chapter.

The first chapter is reflecting youth. What’s next? The best is yet to come.
