Group Epex delivers youth comfort.

On the afternoon of the 5th, a showcase was held at Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul to commemorate the release of Epex's 2nd regular album 'Hwa 2: Youth Deficiency'.

Wish said "I went into the second album right after the first album was over and had a hectic time. "I feel pressured because the trilogy is continuing, but on the other hand, it's the establishment of the identity of the team called Epex. I'm grateful to be able to release a second full-length album," said Keum Dong-hyun. Since we're here for the second time in the three-part series, I hope you can see the story of youth that we want to talk about" he said.

Chapter 2 of Digestion: Youth Deficiency is an album that tells the story of complex deprivation that begins in youth and the satisfaction of deprivation by choice at every moment, and gives great comfort and empathy to youth living in the same period.

Aidan says "Deficiency is a fundamental element of youth. It is also the driving force behind growth. The message is to naturally accept that lack of youth is not a choice. It is important to accept myself as I am, who has been lost due to deficiency,' King Ye said. `This album consists of songs with an atmosphere that was not seen in Epex's existing music and songs that evoke memories.'



Baek Seung is telling a different story every time in the way of Epex within the big framework of youth. It is connected both musically and story-wise with the previous work. This time, the narrative proceeds with the keyword 'Choice'The first album contains the ordinary daily life of youth, while the second album is more specific and profound. "I'm at a crossroads of choices" and Jeff introduced "The interpretation of the song has changed a lot, so I've deeply solved the songs within the theme of youth"

The title song 'Universe' is a song with the message that my universe should be chosen by me and that universe should be you. It features a shuffle-style beat, a unique arrangement style, and a straightforward powerful melody.



Justjalk Eugene, Turn's John, and J-Rick choreographers participated in the choreography to complete Epex's own dynamic performance.

Keum Dong-hyun was happy to hear "Universe" and think that Epex became a mature music group. I think it's going up one day as I try to fill my lack of skills,' King Ye said. `Most of the songs on the concept of youth are brilliant and bright, but we can console them because we also sing the dark side of youth," he said.

Wish practiced focusing on facial expressions, choreography, angles, and expressiveness in order to express the mood of the song in an immersive way`Aiden paid particular attention to choreographic details and teamwork. Every practice, I filmed the video and set the angle, and eight people had numerous discussions and coordinated their opinions."

In addition, the album contains eight songs, including the pre-release song 'My Girl', 'Romantic Girl (1997)' for her living in 1997, 'It's What It Is', which conveys the deficiencies needed by youth now, a funky expression of the moment 'Atocho', which sings miracles in ordinary daily life' about the loss of youth', and the message 'Roner' that even a single mother can be welcomed.

"The members grew up working on this album right after the regular album and fan concert," Amin said. Compared to his debut, he feels like a different person. That will be well contained in the album,' said Keum Dong-hyun. `The members have become more expressive. "I think I grew up in that I express freely, not limited to one, but not outside the frame."
