A music video for "Chk Chk Boom", directed by Bang Jae-yeob,[20] premiered concurrently with the song on July 19, 2024,[21] and preceded by two teaser videos.[22][23] It cameos Canadian-American actor Ryan Reynolds and Australian actor Hugh Jackman.[24] On the release day, an interview between Bang Chan, Felix, Reynolds and Jackman was uploaded by Marvel Korea's YouTube channel. The video gives insight into how the music video collaboration happened and their reaction to the cameos.[25] "Chk Chk Boom" became the group's 15th music video to reach 100 million views on YouTube.[26] Teen Vogue named it as one of the 15 best K-pop music video in 2024.[27]

The music video begins with Jackman as Wolverine, in a state of confusion over his role as weather reporter, on the fictional television channel CCB. The broadcast cuts to Reynolds as a news presenter with a hot mic, complaining about the toilet paper, making Wolverine angrily walk away.[28] Next, Reynolds begins to report on "worldwide mysterious phenomena".[29] Following the song starting, the Stray Kids appear in the disarrayed world with colorful explosions and chaotic backdrops,[30] performing at various places in New York City, such as rooftops and city streets.[31] At the end of the video, Reynolds appears in his Deadpool costume, and he suddenly notices Stray Kids sitting in his studio. He haltingly asks if the group is looking for an "older, less agile” member, but the group responds in the negative.[32]
