EPEX debuted on June 8, 2021, with their first Bipolar Pt.1: Prelude of Anxiety. The group's name derives from "Eight Apex," representing the gathering of eight youths aspiring to reach the pinnacle of success. EPEX's discography is structured around a narrative concept exploring bipolar themes, beginning with psychological states such as anxiety and progressing through chaos, recovery, and climax in subsequent releases like Bipolar Pt.2: Polar Dive and Anticipate. This storytelling approach distinguishes them within the landscape, emphasizing emotional depth and thematic continuity across albums. The group has performed internationally, including as the first all-Korean act in certain regions, contributing to their growing fanbase known as . While not yet achieving the commercial dominance of senior acts, EPEX has garnered attention for innovative music videos and live performances that align with their conceptual framework.

Name

Etymology and concept

The name EPEX derives from a portmanteau of "eight," referring to the group's original eight members, and "apex," denoting the highest point or peak. This combination symbolizes "the gathering of eight youths reaches eight different apexes," illustrating the members' collective journey toward individual and shared pinnacles of achievement. EPEX's artistic concept emphasizes narrative-driven storytelling centered on the psychological and emotional facets of youth, including anxiety, love, heartbreak, and personal evolution. Debuting with the Bipolar series, the group explores mental health themes, such as the duality of emotions in adolescence, through serialized albums that form interconnected story arcs. Subsequent releases, like the Prelude of Anxiety and Love and Youth series, delve into real-life experiences of young people, drawing from the members' own encounters to resonate with listeners facing similar challenges. This approach positions EPEX as chroniclers of generational struggles, prioritizing authenticity over idealized portrayals, though it has sparked debate over the handling of sensitive topics like mental disorders.

History

Pre-debut activities

The members of EPEX underwent rigorous training at prior to their group's formation and debut, with individual training periods varying from approximately 1 year and 10 months for Yewang to up to 5 years for members like Wish and A-Min. This preparation focused on vocal, , and skills typical of trainees, though specific details on daily regimens remain limited in public records. Keum, whose real name is Keum Dong-hyun, gained early visibility as a C9 trainee by competing on Mnet's survival program Produce X 101 in 2019, where he ranked 29th and was eliminated in episode 11 after two years of training at the agency. Baekseung also appeared publicly as a trainee on the survival show CAP-TEEN, a program featuring C9 prospects, providing one of the few pre-debut exposures for the lineup. No other members had notable individual public activities, such as acting or modeling, documented before the group's official introduction in March 2021. C9 Entertainment began teasing their upcoming boy group—initially branded as C9 Rookies—by revealing member profiles and concept photos starting March 1, 2021, building anticipation through and teaser content without full-group performances. These activities marked the transition from internal training to public promotion but preceded the official debut announcement.

EPEX, an eight-member boy group under C9 Entertainment, was officially introduced in early 2021 as the label's second male act following C9 Boyz. The group, comprising members Wish, Keum, Mu, A-Min, Baekseung, Ayden, Yewang, and Jeff, marked its formation through pre-release teasers beginning in March, building anticipation for a concept-driven debut focused on youth psychology.

The group debuted on June 8, 2021, with the mini-album Bipolar Pt.1: Prelude of Anxiety, a five-track release led by the title track "Lock Down."

The album debuted at number 10 on the Gaon Album Chart and achieved over 50,000 first-week sales, signaling modest initial commercial reception for a group. The Bipolar series served as EPEX's inaugural narrative arc, framing the group's as a serialized exploration of bipolar emotional states—shifting between anxiety and —to mirror the internal conflicts of . Bipolar Pt.1 established this foundation with tracks like "Intro: Bipolar" and "My Youth," emphasizing disorder and self-doubt through introspective production blending hip-hop and pop elements. On October 26, 2021, EPEX continued the series with Bipolar Pt.2: Prelude of Love, a four-track mini-album featuring the upbeat title track "Do 4 Me," which contrasted the debut's darker tones by delving into romantic longing and vulnerability. This release peaked at number 4 on the Gaon Album Chart and sold approximately 70,000 copies in its first week, reflecting growing fan engagement. The dual EPs together solidified EPEX's conceptual storytelling approach, though the themes drew mixed reactions for potentially trivializing clinical conditions like .

2022–2023: Prelude of Anxiety and Love series

On March 15, 2022, announced the Prelude of Anxiety and Love series as a continuation of EPEX's narrative universe, alternating between themes of inner turmoil and romantic emotions. The series began with the group's third EP, Prelude of Anxiety Chapter 1: '21st Century Boys', released on April 11, 2022, featuring five tracks including the lead single "Anthem of Teen Spirit," which addressed adolescent pressures through intense rock-infused production. Later that year, EPEX shifted to the love theme with their fourth EP, Prelude of Love Chapter 1: 'Puppy Love', issued on October 26, 2022, containing four songs led by the title track "Hymn to Love" (사랑歌), a upbeat pop number evoking youthful . To promote the release, the group held their first concert, Eight Apex, starting November 19, 2022, at Coex Artium in , performing hits from the series alongside earlier material. In 2023, EPEX extended the love arc with their fifth EP, Prelude of Love Chapter 2: '', launched on April 26, 2023, comprising four tracks with "Sunshower" as the title track, depicting heartbreak through a melodic, rain-inspired . The series concluded its 2022–2023 phase with the sixth EP, Prelude of Anxiety Chapter 2: 'Can We Surrender?', released October 4, 2023, featuring four songs including the hard-hitting lead "Full Metal Jacket," which critiqued systemic oppression in educational environments.

2024–2025: Youth series, international expansions, and challenges

In April 2024, EPEX released their first full-length album, Youth Chapter 1: Youth Days, marking the start of their Youth trilogy, which draws on the members' experiences to explore the concealed pains and secrets of early adulthood. The album includes tracks like "KillsHOT" and "Breathe in Love," emphasizing amid societal pressures. The series progressed with Youth Chapter 2: Youth Deficiency on November 5, 2024, depicting emotional shortcomings in youth and the search for completeness through decision-making and self-confrontation. This release continued the from the prior chapter, focusing on internal voids and resilience. The trilogy concluded on July 28, 2025, with Youth Chapter 3: Romantic Youth, their third full-length album, which integrates romance with underlying darkness to resolve the youth journey's tensions. The work reflects growth pains and empathy, aligning with the group's emphasis on and relational complexities.

They also pioneered as the first Korean boy group to launch limited merchandise collaborations with Japanese chains Don Quijote, Apita, and Piago in May 2025, enhancing fan engagement abroad. These efforts coincided with thematic and operational challenges, as the Youth series grappled with portraying authentic youth struggles like emotional deficiency and relational ambiguity, informed by the members' own pressures in a saturated industry. Album production demanded reconciling personal vulnerabilities with commercial demands, while international forays required adapting to diverse markets amid logistical and cultural barriers.

Controversies

2022: Anthem of Teen Spirit lyrics and imagery

On April 11, 2022, EPEX released "Anthem of Teen Spirit" (Korean: 학원歌; Hagwongwa) as the title track of their third EP Bipolar II: Youth Pt.1 Prelude of Anxiety (Chapter 1), which drew immediate criticism for lyrics and music video elements interpreted as allusions to Nazi Germany's of November 9–10, 1938. The controversial lyric phrase "Crystal Night is coming" (Korean: 수정의 밤이 다가와), repeated in the song, directly evokes the term for —known in Korean as "수정의 밤" (night of crystal or broken glass)—a coordinated anti-Jewish violence involving the smashing of windows, synagogues, and businesses, resulting in at least 91 deaths and the arrest of 30,000 Jewish men. Critics argued this phrasing, combined with themes of societal pressure and rebellion, insensitive paralleled the historical event's violence against marginalized groups, though the song's Korean lyrics frame it within metaphors of educational conformity. The music video amplified concerns with imagery of EPEX members in stiff, black military-style uniforms evoking Nazi officer attire, marching formations suggesting regimentation, and scenes of shattering glass and confrontational "battles" against oppressive structures, which some viewers linked to depictions of destruction and authoritarian control. Stage costumes for promotions similarly featured high-collared, peaked-cap designs perceived as militaristic echoes, prompting accusations of historical insensitivity or inadvertent glorification of fascist in a critique of modern youth pressures. International fans, including those highlighting , demanded accountability from , viewing the elements as more than coincidental given South Korea's exposure to history through media and . C9 Entertainment responded on April 13, 2022, with a statement denying any or Nazi association, asserting the song critiques South Korea's "robotized" () system that enforces uniformity and stifles individuality, using "crystal night" as a for a shattering awakening from illusion rather than historical violence. The label apologized for causing discomfort, emphasized no intent to reference tragedies, and committed to revisions: altering the to remove "crystal night," violent or uniform-heavy scenes in the music video, and updating promotional outfits to avoid militaristic connotations. These changes were implemented promptly, with the updated version distributed on platforms, though the incident underscored gaps in cultural and historical vetting within production amid global sensitivities.

2024: Livestream incident

On November 28, 2024, during a group livestream on the fan communication platform Bubble, members of EPEX, including Keum and Mu, imitated behaviors and phrases commonly used by fans at fansign events, such as exaggerated reactions and repetitive compliments toward the idols. This segment, intended as playful by the members, drew immediate backlash from some fans who interpreted it as derisive of their and devotion. platforms saw widespread criticism, with netizens sharing clips and expressing feelings of betrayal, arguing that the imitation trivialized genuine fan interactions. In response, , EPEX's agency, issued an official apology on November 29, 2024, via the group's channels, acknowledging the fans' discomfort and clarifying that the members had no intention of ridiculing their supporters. The statement emphasized that the livestream was meant to highlight appreciation for fans' energy but recognized how it could be misconstrued, promising greater caution in future content. While some fans accepted the explanation as a miscommunication during casual off-duty streaming, others remained critical, viewing it as indicative of insensitivity toward fan culture in , where such events are central to idol-fan bonds. The incident occurred amid EPEX's promotional activities for their series, but it did not lead to formal sanctions or activity suspensions, with the group continuing scheduled releases and performances shortly thereafter. Koreaboo, a primary reporter of the event, based its coverage on fan-uploaded clips and agency statements, though independent verification of the full context relied on publicly available excerpts, highlighting potential for selective editing in viral backlash.

2025: Member hiatus announcement

On May 16, 2025, C9 Entertainment, the agency's managing EPEX, issued an official statement announcing that member Keum (real name Keum Dong-hyun) would temporarily halt all group activities due to unspecified personal reasons. The agency stated that Keum's suspension would remain in effect until the related matters were resolved, without providing further details on the nature of the issues. The announcement specified that EPEX would continue promotions as a seven-member unit consisting of the remaining members—, Mu, Amin, Baekseung, Ayden, Yewang, and —effective immediately. This adjustment came amid the group's ongoing "Youth" series activities, including preparations for releases like the single "Picasso" and the Youth Chapter 3: Romantic Youth, though no direct impact on scheduled music projects was detailed in the statement. Prior to the hiatus, Keum had participated in early 2025 promotions, such as the English version of "Fool," but his birthday livestream scheduled for May 3 was canceled on April 30 for unspecified health-related reasons, hinting at preceding personal challenges.
