Wish

Wish (위시), born Kwak Da-wit (곽다윗), is the leader of EPEX and one of the members most responsible for how the group frames itself in public. Under C9 Entertainment, EPEX has built a discography that leans on narrative continuity, and Wish has carried that arc from the 2021 debut forward as both a vocalist and a performance-facing focal point.

He debuted with the team on June 8, 2021, through BIPOLAR Pt.1 : Prelude of Anxiety. Since then, his page value has come from more than standard leader language. He sits inside the group's structure as an organizing presence, helping bridge the tense, issue-heavy framing of the early records with the more expansive emotional palette of the Youth era.

That long arc is what gives Wish weight on HITKULTR. Across Youth Chapter 1 : YOUTH DAYS, Youth Chapter 2 : YOUTH DEFICIENCY, Youth Chapter 3 : ROMANTIC YOUTH, and the 2026 release Youth : Epilogue, he remains one of the clearest entry points into how EPEX has matured without losing the identity that made the group stand out at launch.
