EPEX and joan Drop “So Nice” Just in Time for AAPI Heritage Month!

What better way to kick off AAPI Heritage Month than with fresh music? Today, May 6th, the phenomenal K-pop group EPEX (이펙스) has teamed up with the American duo joan to release their brand new collaboration single, “So Nice“!

For those new to the scene, EPEX is an eight-member powerhouse under C9 Entertainment. Comprised of WISH, KEUM, MU, A-MIN, BAEKSEUNG, AYDEN, YEWANG, and JEFF, their very name speaks to their collective strength: “the gathering of eight youths reaches eight different apexes,” symbolizing the eight members uniting to form a powerful new team.

Since their debut on June 8, 2021, with their 1st EP, BIPOLAR Pt.1: Prelude of Anxiety, and its title track “Lock Down,” EPEX quickly proved their potential. Just fifteen days after their debut performance on SBS MTV’s “THE SHOW,” they were nominated for 1st place, marking them as a highly anticipated group of 2021. Their impact was undeniable, achieving the No.1 album sales among K-POP idols who debuted that year and earning the title of a global super rookie in Hanteo Chart’s ‘Hanteo Global K-pop Report,’ solidifying their place as a leading fourth-generation group.

Now, EPEX is expanding their sonic horizons with the release of “So Nice,” a highly anticipated collaboration with the American indie-pop duo joan. This exciting partnership drops today, perfectly timed to celebrate the start of AAPI Heritage Month.

Get ready to add “So Nice” to your playlists and celebrate the incredible talent of EPEX and joan!
