“STARSHIP FIX ACCENDIO MV” — Fans express disappointment as IVE’s Accendio video taken down on YouTube following copyright claim 

On August 2, 2024, IVE's Accendio music video was taken down from YouTube following a copyright claim by the track's songwriters, including Jack Brady and Jordan Roman, leaving fans disappointed. The track, released on April 29, 2024, was the title track of the group's second extended play, IVE SWITCH.

The track was written by Gaeko, Seo Jeong-ah, and Seo Ji-eum and composed by Ryan Jhun, Alexis Andrea, Boyd, Lise Sofie Reppe, Benjamin Samama, Jacky Brady, Jordan Romane, and Christopher Smith.

As the Accendio music video was removed from YouTube due to the copyright claimed by its own composers or songwriters, fans were furious. They took to social media, urging agency Starship Entertainment to take proactive action immediately. Subsequently, the fandom started trending the following phrase on X to solve the ongoing crisis:

"STARSHIP FIX ACCENDIO MV"

Netizens expressed their shock after they realized that the Accendio music video was taken down by its songwriters or composers. Some fans even assumed that the writers were trying to use the group's presence before the upcoming music festival, Lollapalooza.

"I thought accendio being copyrighted was fake but wtf its actually gone.. starship cant yall do anything right? this is now the second time ive’s youtube was compromised," a fan reacted.

"I love this mv so much, where did it go, starship??? I hope this problem will be solved as soon as possible," another fan shared.

"BEFORE THEIR LOLLAPALOOZA???? They really using them to get famous," an X user commented.

"The fact that the mv is taken down by the songwriters of the song is INSANE," one netizen reacted.

Many fans speculated that since the songwriter had issued a copyright claim, there must be some serious issues, while others wished to see the music video on YouTube again.

"Oh no, the music video for 'Accendio' by IVE has been taken down due to a copyright claim? That's so disappointing! I was really looking forward to watching it again and sharing it with my friends. Hopefully, this issue gets resolved soon so we can all enjoy their amazing work again. Until then, let’s keep supporting IVE and showing them our love!" a user mentioned.

"I was really vibing to that song. Copyright claims are such a bummer," another fan commented.

"The biggest accendio fan you know (me) just got the worst news of their life," one person reacted.

"In case anyone doesn't know, Jack Brady and Jordan Roman are two of the songwriters of Accendio. If the mv got taken down they probably have a fairly serious dispute with Starship," another X user shared.
