Jackman appears confused while a breaking news segment pops up with Reynold sitting down as a reporter. He mentions toliet paper till he says good evening with a headline stating a mysterious phenomena is happening worldwide and the source is unknown.
Who is behind it? We as viewers can all guess and it’s STRAY KIDS!! We then see Hyunjin appearing on a NYC street that appears to have underwent some chaos with papers and furniture littering the ground. Felix then pops up with “Chk Chk Boom” and then we are brought back to the city street with more of the group members. Throughout the video the group is featured in the city and in a room full of picture frames as they take over New York City. During shots, we see reporter looking confused and even Reynolds in the studio walking around trying to figure out what is going on.
Reynolds’ signature wit and humor shine through at the end of the music video. He can be seen in the news room standing as he concluded the breaking news to notice Stray Kids are sitting next to him. The boys while looking effortlessly cool tell him they have been there for awhile. He asks them, “Any chance you’re looking for an older, less agile member, maybe?” The group comedically tell him, “Nah, NO!” To which he looks awkwardly around and says, “great!”. He gives the camera a thumbs up before it pans out with the final notes of Chk Chk Boom and Stray Kids’ logo.
