Members Wish, Mu, Jeff, Ayden, Keum, AMin, YeWang, and BaekSeung are back just 4 months after their debut with a completely different concept. They are ready to show us the skills that they have developed and prove themselves once more. EPEX released their first teaser for ‘Do 4 Me’ on Oct. 15, which features a lot of cats and social media motifs as the boys ask you what you’re going to do for them.
“BIPOLAR Pt. 2: Prelude of Love” has 4 tracks on it. The first song is called ‘Love Virus’ and has a funky and catchy melody as a hip hop song that will put you in a good mood. The second track is the title song ‘Do 4 Me’ with a funk-pop rhythm and bright energy. The EPEX members said that they hope fans can enjoy the lively performance that accompanies the song. The third track is ‘Breathtaking’ which has a powerful beat and is a pop song about a girl’s first heartbreak. The final song ‘지구별 여행자 (Traveller)’ is about experiencing the world’s wonders through a piano melody. EPEX held an online media showcase that Kpopmap was invited to and shared more about the album. Here is everything you need to know. This album was different not only because of the polar opposite concept but also because the members in the rap line participated more in the vocals. EPEX shared that they hope to become a holistic group where members can shine in different areas regardless of their position. When talking about the title track, they described ‘Do 4 Me’ as a cute and loveable confession song that expresses a modern love story through social media motifs, such as waiting for a text back from the person you like.

During the Q&A session, we got to know more about this comeback and what it means to the members. Kpopmap asked EPEX: How did the feeling of preparing for your first comeback compare to the feeling when you debuted? What was the biggest difference? We can show a more developed side of ourselves and we came back with a brighter concept. It is also no longer just the 8 of us showing ourselves to fans, but us making a comeback together with ZENITH (their fandom). Keum Your first album was “Prelude of Anxiety” and the second one is “Prelude of Love”. What transition do you think has happened between the two albums? How do you feel you have developed musically since your debut? We have moved from anxious feelings in the first album to the feelings of first love in the second one. We thought a lot about how to express that. We also show a brighter side of ourselves through a happier sound. AMin The EPEX members definitely suit the brighter concept that they are going for. Just looking at the colors that certain members have died their hair makes us feel happy already. That happiness is sure to be doubled when you listen to the album, too! Lastly, EPEX expressed the nickname that they would like to gain as a group, as a sentence. “I wonder what their next album will be like?” They want to become a group that makes people curious about what they do next. They’re already off to a good start with “BIPOLAR Pt. 2: Prelude of Love”. What do you think?
