BTS Army Lines Up in NYC, LA to Celebrate New Album With Cash

Teenage girls filled a long-vacant New York City storefront Friday afternoon, drawn to a side street in Tribeca neighborhood to celebrate the release of “Proof,” the 10th album from K-Pop sensation BTS.

In the first hour of the pop-up, the exclusive merchandise, from $18 posters to $55 t-shirts, had yet to arrive. Fans didn’t seem to mind. They placed delivery orders for hoodies, snapped photos and enjoyed free pizza -- an offering to make up for the lack of branded gear on-hand.
