SEOUL, May 16 (Yonhap) -- The EPEX members who became adults this year attended the traditional Korean coming-of-age ceremony on the 16th with the traditional adult attire.

Members Keum Dong Hyun and Mu, born on 2003, and Wish, born on 2002 attended the coming-of-age ceremony that was held at Namsangol Hanok Village in Seoul on the 16th, the coming-of-age day.

Among them, Keum Dong Hyun, who turned 19 on the 14th, was the male adult representative.

During the Joseon Dynasty, as a symbol of being an adult, they had a topknot along with a gat (traditional headgear in Korea) and also wore durumagi (outer garment in the form of a long jacket worn over the usual jacket).

The three members who participated in the traditional Korean coming-of-age ceremony seemed delighted as they gave each other a big hug and waved their hands towards their fans.
