It was 2017 when Nia Carnelio and Aman Vakharia’s worlds took a change forever, musically that is, thanks to Korean pop sensation, BTS. “My friend was listening to Whistle by BTS and I had to ask about it because it sounded so amazing,” says 22-year-old Vakharia. Carnelio on the other hand was made to listen to Fire by a friend. Love struck at first chord and the two have since been a part of the BTS fandom called army, an acronym for Adorable Representative MC For Youth.

On June 10, the band released an anthology album Proof, with 48 tracks spread across three CDs. While this album is a dive into part of the band’s discography, it also includes three new songs. Mumbai-based Carnelio tells us, “Unlike other anthology albums, where songs are repackaged with new covers, BTS has added a few new songs, shared the behind-the-scenes with the demos, and given the fans the songs they had been asking for years. They’re listening to their fans.”
