Every ATINY has imagined what it would feel like to step into an ATEEZ music video. Golden Globe nominee Chase Infiniti has to imagine no longer.
In a teaser released for their upcoming music video, ‘BAD’, ATEEZ fans can see Infiniti starring as one half of a couple whose wedding is suddenly interrupted.
Who Chase Infiniti Is
Chase Infiniti Payne, 25 and part of Forbes’ 2026 30 Under 30 cohort, is the breakout star of Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, in which she plays Willa, the daughter of a former revolutionary played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Born in Indianapolis, Infiniti studied musical theatre at Columbia College Chicago, where she co-founded Duple Dance Crew, a K-pop cover dance collective. Their videos caught the attention of The Testaments showrunner Bruce Miller, who cited her K-pop dance covers alongside her acting performance in Presumed Innocent when casting her. Presumed Innocent, the Apple TV+ limited series in which she appeared opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, became the streamer’s most-watched drama in its history. She is currently starring in The Testaments, the MGM production for Hulu that serves as a sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale.

One Battle After Another led the 83rd Golden Globe Awards nominations with nine total nominations, including a Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy nomination for Infiniti. She also received a BAFTA Rising Star Award nomination, a SAG/Actor Award nomination, a Critics’ Choice Award nomination, a National Board of Review Breakthrough Performance win, and a Gotham Award Breakthrough Performer nomination.
How Long Chase Infiniti Has Been An ATINY
The ATEEZ connection predates her film career. Duple Dance Crew has been posting K-pop cover videos since 2019, with ATEEZ’s choreography featuring prominently in their catalogue. In one example out of multiple shoutouts during the One Battle After Another press tour last year, Infiniti mentioned that most of what she listens to is K-pop, and specifically named ATEEZ, giving co-star Teyana Taylor three songs to start with: “Guerrilla,” “Bouncy,” and “Hala Hala”. “Personally, I think ‘Guerrilla’ is a great one,” she said.
The fandom goes beyond listening. Infiniti appeared on the web series Royal Court and revealed that she carries photo cards of ATEEZ’s Choi San in her purse. “I normally have one in my bag,” she said, before producing two separate pictures of San. At the Oscars red carpet, when Complex asked her K-pop Mount Rushmore, she answered without hesitation: “ATEEZ, NCT, VERIVERY, aespa — I’ll say those four. I was, like, going through the playlist in my mind.”
