As his debut solo album, ‘Golden,’ presses toward a Gold certification at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), former BTS star Jung Kook is hoping to expedite that journey by unveiling the official music video for the LP’s housed ballad ‘I Hate You.’

The emotional clip not only showcases stunning cinematography during its shifts from a melancholic black-and-white scheme to vibrant bursts of color, but also shows off the 26-year-old’s impressive acting chops.

“I’m gonna hate you / Paint you like the villain that you never were / I’m gonna blame you / For things that you don’t do / Hating you’s the only way it doesn’t hurt,” he croons on the Shawn Mendes and Scott Harris-penned track.

“N-ggas still bite my style, they can’t be too upset (Uh-huh) / I done laid low for a while, they can’t be that upset (Hey) / N-ggas lost all my respect, they can’t be that upset (Uh-uh) / N-ggas point fingers at ‘Set, and I ain’t even done nun’ yet,” he relays in the Maya Table-directed clip.
