The action-packed visual arrives alongside the band's new mini-album, GOLDEN HOUR: Part.5.

Chase Infiniti has all eight members of ATEEZ competing for her attention in the group's new music video for "BAD," released Friday (June 26) alongside the arrival of the mini album GOLDEN HOUR Part.5.

The video begins with the One Battle After Another actress standing at the altar in a stunning white wedding dress while her groom struggles to place a ring on her finger because it is already covered with eight others, seemingly representing each member of ATEEZ. The ceremony quickly falls apart when Seonghwa dramatically enters wearing a white suit and hat inspired by Michael Jackson before launching into a dance performance. Soon, the rest of the members appear one after another, each trying to capture Infiniti's attention.

As the story unfolds through energetic dance scenes, Hongjoong, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho each attempt to impress the actress or secretly keep tabs on her outings with the other members. Eventually, everyone gathers inside a courtroom where Infiniti is accused of being, as the song's lyrics describe, "bad." It is there that she reveals she has been in control all along, breaking into choreography of her own and using her powers to make every member copy her moves.

The video closes with the judge finding Infiniti not guilty before she confidently walks out of the courtroom, holding up all eight rings for the camera to see.

"BAD" is one of five fresh tracks featured on GOLDEN HOUR Part.5, which arrives just a few months after the release of GOLDEN HOUR Part.4. The February project reached No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart, giving the K pop group its seventh chart topper on the ranking.

O'Shea Jackson Jr. Warns Fans About Drake's Janice Parties

Drake is hosting parties for women named Janice in the wake of his "Janice STFU" hit, and O'Shea Jackson Jr. couldn't help but joke about it.

O'Shea Jackson Jr. has never been shy about sharing his opinions on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar rivalry or the conversations that followed it. Even so, he recently admitted that Drake's "Janice STFU" has been stuck in his head. That did not stop him from joking about the OVO star's exclusive parties for women named Janice, which were organized as a playful apology to those whose name became the focus of one of the biggest songs from ICEMAN.

Jackson Jr. took to Twitter to react to the events happening in New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, and several other cities. "To any chick named Janice who’s on the run for anything….this is a trap," he wrote. "They did the same thing to Washington Redskins fans in 1985 lmfaooo look it up."

Naturally, some Drake supporters took issue with the joke and pushed back in the replies. Jackson Jr. fired back at one especially upset user by writing, "Get that owl D**k out your throat this wasn’t even a diss."

For anyone unfamiliar with the reference, O'Shea Jackson Jr. was referring to Operation Flagship. In December 1985, authorities in Washington, D.C., along with the United States Marshals Service, invited wanted fugitives to claim free Washington Redskins, now known as the Commanders, football tickets. The operation resulted in the arrests of 101 fugitives.

The comparison was clearly meant as a joke and not a serious suggestion that anything similar would happen at Drake's Janice parties. Still, given Jackson Jr.'s well known support for Kendrick Lamar, it is easy to understand why some fans took offense to the comment.

Drake's "Janice" Party

Drake has already met up with some women named Janice in Texas. According to Kurrco on Twitter, the rapper shared an Instagram Story featuring three women alongside the caption, "Kicking it off with these 3 Janice's from TX." As expected, there were no reports of police showing up or anyone being arrested, making it clear that Jackson Jr.'s earlier post was simply made in jest.

Meanwhile, "Janice STFU" continues to gain momentum as one of the standout tracks from ICEMAN, joining songs like "Shabang" as a strong contender for song of the summer. Fans will be watching to see what other moments come from these unique Janice themed events, although it is safe to say any concerns about a real life trap can be taken as nothing more than a joke.

Becky Hill has spoken out after being booed during her surprise appearance at TRNSMT Festival.

The 32 year old singer insisted she is "not a jukebox" after receiving a hostile reaction during her 30 minute performance on the King Tut’s Stage at Glasgow Green, Scotland, on June 19. She had chosen to use the set to perform "nothing but brand new music."

Becky addressed the widely shared moment in an Instagram video posted on Wednesday (24.06.26).

The Lose Control singer admitted: "Getting booed is not nice. I haven’t found a single one of these easy, it’s really upsetting because I love this job, and that’s not making me love it as much as I usually do."

She continued: "I wanted to bring a new and exclusive 30 minute set of brand new music to a festival crowd unannounced, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to play the new music I’ve been working so hard on, and I personally love so much."

Becky went on to thank the TRNSMT organisers for inviting her to perform, as well as the fans who "stayed and danced with me right until the very end" when she performed Afterglow and Disconnect.

She added: "It was amazing to have such a captive audience who wanted to hear the new stuff too. I said on stage how difficult it is to transition into a new single and new music and new albums, and all this conversation online is exactly what I meant.

"I’m not a jukebox, I’m an artist, and the tickets for TRNSMT weren’t sold on my name being a part of the line up. And I wanted to do something new and artistically driven. I don’t really get that opportunity to do that in my career often at all.

"But trust me, when my name is on the poster, I’ll always sing the tunes that people know and love. I feel very grateful to have those records in my catalogue after 14 years of making them.”

Becky explained that if she wants to enjoy a long lasting career, she has to keep creating fresh music.

The Remember singer concluded: "Thank you to all the people that stayed and danced with me at TRNSMT."

In the clip that quickly spread across social media, the audience began booing after Becky announced: "I’m going to play you nothing but brand new music. I’ve got to a point that’s in every artist’s life where we have to let go of the tunes you lot know me for, and introduce you lot to a brand new f****** era."

After hearing the crowd's response, she replied: "It’s alright, you’ve got plenty of other artists to see here."

Olivia Wilde Reflects on “Wholesome” Harry Styles Relationship Despite “Parasocial” Reaction

"We existed in this little bubble, and the judgment never really got into that bubble, which was a miracle"

Olivia Wilde has spoken about her relationship with Harry Styles in a new interview.

Wilde and Styles began dating after he was cast in Don’t Worry Darling in 2020, a film she directed and also appeared in. The pair later split in late 2022, several months after the movie’s release.

She has now reflected on the public reaction that surrounded their relationship, saying in a new interview on Call Her Daddy: “I’ve never felt more disconnected from the person that people were talking about,” she said. “I was like, ‘Who are they talking about? Who is that girl?’”

Wilde also responded to criticism focused on their age difference, with Wilde being 10 years older than Styles, as well as claims that she was spending time away from her children to be with him. She clarified that her custody arrangement with her ex Jason Sudeikis meant she was already spending time away from them part of the time. “It was also very strange to see complete fiction traded as fact,” she said. “My private life was very far from it and very actually wholesome and sweet.”

“I don’t know how much I understand it yet,” she added. “People were fucking pissed. It also had a lot to do with the parasocial relationship people have with [Styles]. He carries it with grace. I think that is an enormous responsibility that all those stars have to carry.”

“It’s almost like [our] happiness made them mad,” she continued. “Like, I would go to his shows and dance, and people were like, ‘Oh, how could she?’”

Despite the scrutiny, Wilde said she still looks back positively on the relationship with Styles, who is now reportedly engaged to Zoë Kravitz. “We had the loveliest relationship — so, so sweet and so beautiful and really actually very domestic and kind and lovely,” she said. “We existed in this little bubble, and the judgment never really got into that bubble, which was a miracle.”

In other Wilde news, she is set to star alongside Charli XCX in the upcoming film I Want Your Sex, due for release in July. Directed by Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin, Kaboom), the film follows a young man named Elliot (Cooper Hoffman) who lands a job working for artist Erika Tracy (Wilde), whose world quickly becomes increasingly intense and chaotic.

“But Elliot soon finds himself out of his depth as Erika takes him on a journey more profound than he ever could have imagined, into a world of sex, obsession, power, betrayal and murder. Featuring outrageous characters and a playful sense of humor, I Want Your Sex will upend expectations in a way that will both shock and delight!”

As for Styles, he recently launched his record-breaking Wembley run on June 12, where he also paid tribute to David Hockney and reflected on his early days after being placed into One Direction via The X Factor by his mother. “Sixteen years ago, my mother signed me up for the X Factor without my knowledge,” he told the crowd. “I wouldn’t be here today if she hadn’t done that. She’s here today – thank you so much. You’ve changed my life, all of you.”

The Together, Together tour continues at Wembley Stadium with additional dates on June 19, 20, 23, 26, 27, 29 and July 1, 3 and 4. Fans can find remaining UK tickets and updates on show details online. Styles will also donate £1 from each ticket sold to LIVE’s levy to support grassroots venues and emerging artists.

Elsewhere, Styles recently performed with Jules Buckley Orchestra and the House Gospel Choir at London’s Royal Festival Hall for this year’s Meltdown Festival, which he curated.

The Meltdown Festival runs until June 21 and includes performances from Orlando Weeks, LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, Soulwax, Bar Italia, Jon Hopkins, Dev Hynes and more. It opened with Warpaint on June 11, marking the band’s first show in nearly two years.
