Eric Nam Gets Revenge on Rob in His New Music Video

The video features Nam and his fellow cast members playing exaggerated versions of themselves. Nam plays a character called “Eric the Vengeful,” while Rausch, known as “Robby Bobby,” is holding the other players captive on his ranch and making them do hard labor – but still look fashionable!
