BY Minsoo-Kim · June 9, 2026

Group EPEX has officially returned with new music.

Wish, Mu, A-Min, Baekseung, Aiden, Yewang, and Jeff released their seventh mini album, ‘Youth (韶華): Epilogue’, on June 9 KST, marking their first comeback in approximately 11 months.

The album serves as the final chapter of EPEX’s youth-themed series, which began in 2024 and unfolded across three full-length albums. All members participated in various aspects of the album’s creation, reflecting on the confidence gained after navigating some of life’s most passionate and uncertain moments.

The title track, "ECHO," highlights EPEX’s signature hip-hop energy. Members Jeff, Baekseung, and Aiden contributed to the lyrics, while the song combines a minimalist 2000s-inspired sound with rhythmic grooves to deliver a powerful message.

The mini album also features three additional tracks: "Tomorrow of Every Day," which offers a hopeful message about standing between childhood and adulthood; "BOYS IN THE BAND," driven by dynamic rhythms and free-spirited grooves; and "Even If I Still Don’t Know Love," an energetic track that blends straightforward lyrics with EPEX’s trademark chant-style hooks.

The comeback follows the group’s fifth debut anniversary, celebrated on June 8. With ‘Youth: Epilogue,’ EPEX aims to showcase both its strengthened teamwork and the individual growth of each member while bringing its youth series to a meaningful close.

EPEX’s seventh mini album ‘Youth: Epilogue’ is now available on major music platforms.
