EPEX Compare “Growing Pains” To Past Releases

C9 Entertainment’s boy group, EPEX recently made a comeback to the music scene with their newest EP. The new EP is entitled Prelude of Love: Chapter 2 – Growing Pains and features their title track “Sunshower”. The full music video was released alongside their album and has garnered over 10 Million views in just 11 days.

The 8-Member boy group consists of Wish, Keum, MU, A-Min, Baekseung, Ayden, Yewang and Jeff. They gathered together for a round table (media day). This was organized by Helix Publicity on April 28th, 2023 where they answered questions.

EPEX Explain The Title Track

The leader, Wish, took time to explain what their new title track “Sunshower” is all about. He revealed it, “tells a story of a boy’s broken heart from the breakup through a very fresh, bubbly melody”. Wish continues, “it matches the song’s title which carries a contrasting meaning of raining while the sun is shining“.

Prelude of Anxiety vs. Prelude of Love

EPEX received a question about the difference between their albums. They state, “The ‘Prelude of Anxiety’ series represents anxiety you would go through in your adolescence”. The group continue, “while the ‘Prelude of Love’ series talks about more complex emotions evolved from young love, such as anxiety and raw feeling of love”. EPEX also reveal, “our fifth mini album is also about growing from love, so I think it fits well into the ‘Prelude of Love’ series”.

Challenges

They received quite a few questions throughout the media round table. One media outlet asked the boys about their struggles with the new release. They reveal, “it was a little challenging to truly blend the lyrics and express that message through the melody”. This is due to the fact their song’s melody and lyrics have quite contrasting vibes.

EPEX vs. Other Groups!

During the media day, EPEX were asked what makes them stand out from other groups in K-POP. To this, KEUM answers the question. “In my opinion, we’re talking for people in their 10s and 20s,” he revealed. KEUM continues, “[w]e’re blending the stories we experience and hear as young people into our music, and we want to create music that can be encouraging and comforting”. He ends with, “[t]hat’s how we wish to show EPEX’s unique color”.

The boys end the media day by revealing that they had a lot of fun preparing and hope their fans enjoy it too!
