EPEX has been dedicated to fostering strong connections with its fans. This concert represents a major step forward in their efforts.
The “YOUTH DEFICIENCY” tour kicked off in December 2024 in Seoul, and the group is now gearing up for performances across Asia. The tour will continue with stops in Macau on May 3, Taipei on May 24, and culminate in Fuzhou on May 31, 2025, where EPEX will make history with their concert.
The K-pop performance will inspire other artists to broaden their stage presence and open up new opportunities for other groups to grow and reach wider audiences.
