A-Min (아민)

Cho Min-woo was born on May 22, 2004, in Seoul, South Korea, and grew up with his parents, an older brother, and a younger sister in Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do. From a young age, he showed a natural affinity for performance — he was popular at school for his cute looks and had even attended an acting agency at one point, giving him an early taste of the entertainment world.

He completed his education at Namyangju Shinchon Elementary School, Jangnae Middle School, and Pyeongnae High School, all while training to become an idol. His audition piece was Wanna One’s “Burn It Up,” which showcased both his dancing ability and his passion for performance. A specialty in acrobatics set him apart from other trainees and remains one of the most crowd-pleasing parts of EPEX’s live performances.

On March 4, 2021, C9 Entertainment officially revealed A-Min as the third member of EPEX (then still operating under the pre-debut name C9ROOKIES). His profile video dropped the same day, and fans immediately took notice of his charming presence. He made his official group debut on June 8, 2021, with EPEX’s first EP, BIPOLAR Pt.1: Prelude of Anxiety.

Since debut, A-Min has been a central figure in EPEX’s performances, praised for his clean technique, energetic stage presence, and ability to connect emotionally through dance. His role model is Jimin of BTS — an influence that’s clear in the way he blends sharp technique with expressive artistry.

Over the years, A-Min and EPEX have grown steadily — releasing multiple EPs and full-length albums, embarking on international tours across Asia, and building a passionate global fandom called ZENITH. As of 2026, the group continues its journey as a 7-member act following Keum’s departure in November 2025, and A-Min remains a beloved and essential part of the lineup.
