EPEX Fans Are Concerned As The Group’s Upcoming Tour Dates Continue To Get Canceled
EPEX fans are concerned as the group’s concerts continue to get canceled.
The eight-member K-Pop boy group was formed by C9 Entertainment and debuted in 2021, consisting of members Wish, Keum, Mu, A-Min, Baekseung, Ayden, Yewang, and Jeff. It was announced previously that EPEX would embark on their first U.S. tour for 2023 with nine stops in February.
Now, more and more dates are being canceled.
ZENITH (EPEX fans) are expressing concern as their stops have been updated as “canceled.” At the time of writing, only three cities’ concerts have not been canceled.
Not only is it heartbreaking that fans won’t get to see EPEX perform, but many travel for concerts and have bought plane tickets, reserved hotel rooms, etc.

ZENITH are calling out MyMusicTaste for not informing. Instead, many are finding out via other sources.

While some are demanding answers, it looks like the cancelation of shows are likely due to poor ticket sales. Previously, it was reported that EPEX could be at risk as tours with sales of less than 30% of capacity/sale rate could be canceled when a concert is under three weeks away.

ZENITH are encouraging everyone to go buy tickets for the remaining EPEX concerts, so that the group can still go on a tour, even if smaller than originally planned.
