The group officially debuted on June 8, 2021, with their first extended play (EP) “Bipolar Pt.1: Prelude of Anxiety” and its lead single “Lock Down”. Prior to their debut, member Keum participated in Mnet’s “Produce X 101” in 2019, ranking 17th. Their name, EPEX, stands for “Eight Apex,” signifying that the gathering of eight youths reaches eight different apexes, forming a collective, powerful new team.
Since their debut, EPEX has consistently delivered sharp choreography and soaring vocals, addressing themes relevant to youth, including mental health. Their commitment earned them the Rookie Award – Male Group at the 2021 Hanteo Music Awards and Rookie of the Year at the 2022 Seoul Music Awards. The group has embarked on several tours, including the ‘Eight Apex’ tour in 2022 and the ‘Youth Deficiency Asia Tour’ in 2024-2025. In a significant milestone for K-pop, EPEX held the first full-scale concert by an all-Korean idol group in mainland China in nearly a decade on May 31, 2025, in Fuzhou, marking a potential thaw in cultural barriers following an unofficial K-wave ban imposed in 2016. This event, part of their ‘Youth Deficiency Asia Tour’, followed previous efforts to connect with Chinese fans, including photo shoots, interviews with Chinese magazines, and fan signing events in Shanghai and Qingdao in early 2025.
EPEX’s discography includes studio albums such as “Youth Chapter 1: Youth Days” (2024) and “Youth Chapter 2: Youth Deficiency” (2024), which achieved significant sales, along with several extended plays. Notable collaborations include their December 2023 song “Peppermint Yum” with Japanese boy group Fantastics from Exile Tribe, and the May 2025 single “So Nice” with American alt-pop band joan. Their music has consistently resonated with audiences, with publications like Billboard recognizing their material as some of the best K-pop of the year. The group continues to actively engage with their fanbase, known as Zenith, and perform globally.
