C9 Entertainment\u2019s EPEX is a K-pop group<\/a> consistently building upon their previous work.<\/p>\n Since debut in 2021 the group has put out numerous albums and EPs, as well as winning nine Rookie, Rising Star, and Emerging Artist awards.<\/p>\n The group released their latest album, “Youth Chapter 3 : ROMANTIC YOUTH” on July 28, a full-length album that is the end of their “Youth” series trilogy.<\/p>\n “It’s not easy to release a trilogy with full-length albums, so I’m really proud of us for accomplishing that. I think these albums serve as very important chapters that will shape our future music,” says AYDEN.<\/p>\n Just like their company seniors CIX, EPEX has mastered the art of storytelling with their music, and they\u2019ve grown through the process.<\/p>\n “It feels more mature now, like we’re both in the middle of youth and at the peak of it. I think that feeling is conveyed through our music, and it really reflects my current mindset,” explains JEFF, the group\u2019s youngest member.<\/p>\n The members say they can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been four years since debut, and how they are the seniors to so many new idol groups.<\/p>\n EPEX says they\u2019ve not only grown musically and as a group, but personally as well.<\/p>\n “I think we’re more relaxed on stage now. Yesterday, I changed a gesture right before going on, and it turned out really well. That’s something that wouldn\u2019t have been possible in our earlier years,” says WISH.<\/p>\n Leading the final album in their “Youth” series, “Youth Chapter 3 : ROMANTIC YOUTH,” is the title track, “Grateful to Tears.”<\/p>\n “Our title track tells a very mature story about a breakup. It’s about learning and experiencing love through the relationship, and ultimately letting the other person go. Compared to our previous songs about breakups, this one feels more grown-up, making it a perfect way to close out our third chapter of the album series,” BAEKSEUNG says.<\/p>\n The music video for “Grateful to Tears,” which has over 14 million views online, tells the story of relationships, but not the typical love story like you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n BAEKSEUNG explains, “I keep mentioning a breakup, but it’s not just about romantic relationships. It can be with anyone, like friends, family, or even people of different generations, from child to elderly. This song is about all kinds of partings and goodbyes.” “Since our debut, we’ve had the \u2018Bipolar\u2019 and \u2018Youth\u2019 series, so I think we’ll continue creating series with connected stories, no matter what the theme is,” says A-MIN.<\/p>\n The members have grown and evolved in front of their worldwide fans over the last four years, and while they are closing one chapter of their music, they say there is much more to come and many different sides of themselves that they can\u2019t wait to show.<\/p>\n “We always feel your support from afar, deep in our hearts, and it motivates us to work harder. We’ll do our best to meet you in person soon. Thank you all, and see you very soon,” MU concludes.<\/p>\n ATEEZ\u2019s Tacoma stop shows why they\u2019re not just a leader in K-pop; They\u2019re redefining it<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n H1-KEY\u2019s “Lovestruck” is the vibe of Summer 2025<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n New K-pop group 1VERSE reflects future of a global music scene<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n K-Drama nostalgia meets K-Pop emotion in XODIAC X-UNIT\u2019s first EP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n KANG YUCHAN starts fresh with WAY BETTER and single “Champagne Poppin”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n New K-Pop sub-unit OX:N showcases different side of OMEGA X<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Maki reflects on viral fame, loyal fans, favorite city in America<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n To get the best local news, weather and sports in Seattle for free, sign up for the daily <\/strong><\/i>FOX Seattle Newsletter<\/strong><\/i><\/a>.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n Download the free FOX LOCAL app for mobile in the <\/strong><\/i>Apple App Store<\/strong><\/i><\/a> or <\/strong><\/i>Google Play Store<\/strong><\/i><\/a> for live Seattle news, top stories, weather updates and more local and national news.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" C9 Entertainment\u2019s EPEX is a K-pop group consistently building upon their previous work.
