Just days ahead of the release of their upcoming album Youth Chapter 3 : ROMANTIC YOUTH, EPEX has released a pre-release single, “Picasso,” with an accompanying music video. This synth-hip-hop single is meant to emulate Pablo Picasso’s artistry in the way that it expresses a desire to break boundaries and to create something new in every moment, especially in dark moments.
Youth Chapter 3 : ROMANTIC YOUTH is EPEX’s third full-length album, and it will be released on July 28th at 6:00 PM KST. It is the final chapter in EPEX’s Youth album series, following Youth Chapter 2 : YOUTH DEFICIENCY (November 2024) and Youth Chapter 1 : YOUTH DAYS (April 2024), both of which surpassed 200,000 copies in their first week of sales.

“We’re already releasing our third full-length album, and this album contains many good songs that we confidently feel are the strongest among all the full albums we’ve released so far. I’m very excited to present amazing performances to our fans and wrap up the Youth series on a good note. I hope many people will make pleasant memories by listening to our new album this summer.” A-MIN
The final chapter of EPEX’s Youth album series will continue the narrative storyline set forth in the previous albums and center around the romantic and emotional journey of embracing one’s moments of deficiency and welcoming the new ones that follow. The members of EPEX hope that the album will offer comfort to everyone, especially those in their youth, discovering romance and growing into their own personal journeys.
