Hollywood actress Chase Infiniti has officially transitioned from a self-proclaimed fan to a featured co-star, appearing in the music video for the new ATEEZ title track, ‘BAD’. The single, released on June 26, 2026, serves as the centerpiece for the group’s latest EP, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5.
From Fan to Featured Co-Star
Infiniti, known for her roles in Presumed Innocent and The Testaments, has long documented her status as an ‘Atiny’—the official name for ATEEZ’s global fanbase. Her participation in the ‘BAD’ music video has been widely categorized in K-pop culture as a ‘seongdeok’ moment, a term describing a fan who achieves the rare milestone of working directly with their favorite artists.
The collaboration follows a strategic rollout of teasers that hinted at a cinematic, wedding-themed narrative. In the clips, Infiniti is seen navigating a series of high-stakes interactions with members of the octet. Her background as a member of the Duple Dance Crew, where she frequently performed K-pop cover routines, provided her with the technical familiarity needed to match the group’s precise performance style on set.
Musical Evolution in ‘GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5’
The track ‘BAD’ marks a departure for ATEEZ, incorporating Brazilian funk-inspired beats and Latin pop influences. According to KQ Entertainment, the EP explores themes of instinct and emotion, with members Hongjoong and Mingi contributing to the songwriting across all five tracks. Beyond ‘BAD’, the record includes diverse sounds ranging from R&B-infused tracks like ‘Toxin’ and ‘Body’ to the electronic-heavy ‘Fallin’.
ATEEZ is set to continue their promotional cycle with a performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on July 1, followed by a headlining slot at the British Summer Time Hyde Park festival in London.
