EPEX Unveils ‘Thank You for the Tears’ on Music Bank
The eight-member K-pop group EPEX just dropped a heartfelt performance of their new title track, ‘Thank You for the Tears’, marking the start of their music show comeback promotions. The group lit up the stage on the July 1 episode of Music Bank in support of their third studio album, ‘Prelude of Youth: Chapter 3 – Romantic Youth’.
A Tearjerker in Pop Form
The track dives deep into the emotional thicket of post-breakup growth, singing from the perspective of youth learning to accept loss. Backed by an airy blend of pop, acoustic layers, and subtle rock influences, EPEX’s bittersweet vocals hit just the right emotional note. Think of it as the perfect soundtrack for your next late-night feels session.
Choreography That Speaks – Literally
Beyond just vocals, their stage brought together striking visuals and expressive dance. The group’s synchrony channeled the ache of heartbreak, topped off with a unique twist: choreography that incorporates sign language, turning the emotional subtext into literal gestures. Yes, you read that right—this is a performance you feel and understand, even without hearing a word.
Youth Trilogy, Final Chapter
This performance also marks the culmination of their ‘Youth Trilogy’ album series, which has chronicled the growing pains of adolescence. As the group said in a behind-the-scenes commentary, “Every album in our youth series reflects the theme of growth and connects like a storybook.”
‘Romantic Youth’ features eight tracks that explore the bittersweet awareness and idealism of young adulthood. Bonus? It’s already charting on iTunes in Japan and Thailand, showing EPEX’s steady rise on the global scene.
Fan Con Alert: EPEX is Hitting the Road

From raw vocals to sign language-powered dances and a storyline worth binge-listening, EPEX’s comeback feels like reading the last chapter of your favorite coming-of-age novel—emotional, uplifting, and oh-so-relatable.
So, are they saying goodbye? Or finding a new beginning? That’s for you—and their lyrics—to decide.
