The pop-up shops will open on June 10 and will be located at 700 N. Fairfax Ave. West Hollywood, California and 104 Charlton St. New York, New York.

Each location will offer fans an opportunity to "dance, sing and pose" like BTS, which features members RM, Jimin, Jungkook, V, Suga, Jin and J-Hope. Each location will also offer exclusive merchandise for attendees. Custom exclusive drops will be sold on location in addition to limited merchandise from the past.

Anyone is welcomed at the pop-up shops once they open — though fans will also have the opportunity to reserve a time through Fever to explore and have expedited entry.

Proof is set to drop on June 10 and marks a celebration of BTS' nine-year anniversary as a band, the album will feature three brand-new songs including "Yet to Come" amid a career-spanning collection of tracks from the group.

"The BTS anthology album that embodies the history of BTS will be released as they begin a new chapter as an artist that has been active for nine years to look back on their endeavors," a statement released by management group Big Hit Music read in May. "The anthology album Proof that consists of three CDs includes many different tracks — including three all-new tracks — that reflect the thoughts and ideas of the members on the past, present and future of BTS."

The forthcoming album was first teased during the final evening of the group's four-night Las Vegas residency at the Allegiant Stadium. There, the date "2022.06.10" — June 10 — appeared onscreen at the end of the show, alongside the tagline: "We are bulletproof."
