C9 Entertainment went on to say that the new K-pop group, EPEX, will continue their activities to get closer to the fans.
EPEX, an eight-member boy group, made their official debut on June 8 with their first EP, "Bipolar Pt. 1: Prelude of Anxiety."
Before their debut, C9 Entertainment was under fire for an insensitive album title that is related to mental health: "bipolar" and "anxiety."
Many, who felt uncomfortable with the album title, criticized them for using mental health conditions for commercial gain or as an "aesthetic."
Despite this, it appears like many fans still showed their support to the new K-pop group, EPEX, considering that their debut album sold out in approximately two months since its release.
