EPEX is an eight member boy group under C9 Entertainment consisting of members WISH, KEUM, MU, A-MIN, BAEKSEUNG, AYDEN, YEWANG, and JEFF. Their group name is described as meaning "the gathering of eight youths reaching eight different apexes."

EPEX debuted on June 8, 2021 with their first EP titled "BIPOLAR, Pt. 1: Prelude of Anxiety". After releasing their title track, 'Lock Down,' and performing on SBS MTV's "The Show," EPEX was nominated for 1st place, which was an impressive feat as they had just debuted 15 days prior. This catapulted them into headlines, making them one of the most anticipated groups of 2021.

EPEX was number one in sales among K-Pop groups and idols who debuted in 2021 and their popularity was so impressive that they were chosen as a global super rookie in the Hanteo Global K-Pop Report, marking them as a fourth-generation K-Pop group representative.

Since then, the group has released more EPs and went on their first international concert tour in the fall. And most recently, they released their fifth EP, titled "Prelude of Love Chapter 2: 'Growing Pains'." This particular EP is said to focus more on the details of the boys going through their first breakup. Every track in the EP takes listeners through the different stages of emotions that one may feel while experiencing their first heartbreak. They also came out with a music video for the song 'Sunshower' which has been delighting fans for its up-tempo Pop-Dance sound, perfect for summer!
