In a surprise announcement, BTS revealed that they will be performing Proof Live on their 9th debut anniversary. BTS completes nine years in the music industry on June 13, 2022. On this special occasion, the K-pop group is treating their fandom — ARMY — with a live version of Proof. BigHit Music announced on Twitter and Instagram and shared a new poster that teased the performance.
In the picture, members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — were seen seated in an abandoned space, dressed in shades of blue. The members were out to steal hearts with their killer looks on the poster. While fans were thrilled about the performance, BTS also generated curiosity by announcing that they will be joined by a ‘special guest.’

ARMY detectives jumped to business, speculating who the special guest could be. While many speculated that it could be Bang Si-hyuk aka Bang PD, Snoop Dogg and Charlie Puth’s names also sprung up, considering both accidentally revealed that they are collaborating with BTS on new songs.
Special guest better be “Hitman” Bang.!! This is a VERY VERY SPECIAL ERA album it only makes sense for Bang PD to be on the first live
