Chase Infiniti Takes Center Stage
The official music video stars actress Chase Infiniti, who opens the visual in an extravagant wedding ceremony wearing a white bridal gown. However, the ceremony quickly takes an unexpected turn as the bride is already wearing eight engagement rings—an unmistakable nod to each member of ATEEZ.
As the ceremony spirals into chaos, Seonghwa dramatically interrupts the wedding in a stylish white suit and fedora while launching into a Michael Jackson-inspired dance performance. One by one, Hongjoong, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho each attempt to win Infiniti’s attention through elaborate choreography and playful encounters.
A Courtroom Twist Changes Everything
The music video’s second act shifts into a surreal courtroom where Infiniti is placed on trial for being “bad,” echoing the song’s central lyrical theme.
Rather than serving as the story’s victim, Infiniti ultimately reveals herself as the one controlling every situation. As she performs her own dance routine, the members of ATEEZ are compelled to mirror her choreography, creating one of the video’s most memorable sequences.
The story concludes with the judge declaring Infiniti not guilty, allowing her to confidently exit the courtroom while displaying the eight symbolic rings directly toward the camera.
GOLDEN HOUR Part.5 Continues ATEEZ’s Winning Streak
“BAD” is one of five tracks featured on GOLDEN HOUR Part.5, the group’s latest mini-album and the follow-up to GOLDEN HOUR Part.4, which topped multiple sales charts earlier this year.
The project continues ATEEZ’s remarkable commercial run, building upon a catalog that has consistently earned strong international chart performances and a devoted global fanbase.
With “BAD” rapidly climbing YouTube’s music rankings and already surpassing 35 million views, the release once again demonstrates ATEEZ’s ability to deliver visually ambitious productions that resonate with audiences worldwide.
