Boy band EPEX will release its lead track “Sunshower” on April 26, its agency C9 Entertainment announced on Sunday.

The tracklist released Sunday on the boy band’s social media accounts confirmed that EPEX's fifth EP, “Prelude of Love Chapter 2. ‘Growing Pains,’” will include four songs — “My Darling,” “Sunshower,” “Goodbye, My First Love” and “Skyline.”

The Korean name of the lead track “Sunshower” translates to “the day when a fox is getting married,” an idiom and urban legend for sun-shower: a short spell of rain with sunshine.

“The lead track will unfold the legend of ‘fox rain,’ where a cloud started crying after it saw a fox, which it loved, marrying a tiger, resulting in rain. But shortly after it wishes them happiness, creating a clear sky,” the press release explained.

EPEX is short for Eight Apex. The eight-member boy band consists of Wish, Keum, Mu, A-Min, Baekseung, Ayden, Yewang and Jeff. EPEX debuted last June with its first EP “Bipolar Pt. 1 Prelude of Anxiety.” The band won the Rookie of the Year Award at the 31st Seoul Music Awards in January.
