IVE made a splash with their latest mini-album, “IVE SWITCH,” featuring the bangers “HEYA” and “Accendio.” But this time, the girls are back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons! It turns out that the “Accendio” music video was removed from YouTube due to copyright claims by songwriters Jack Brady and Jordan Roman.

On August 2, 2024, the music video, along with its dance practice video and audio, were all taken down indefinitely. The copyright claim by Brady and Roman has sparked a frenzy on social media, with DIVE (that’s the name IVE fans have) questioning the reasoning behind this unexpected move.

As of now, the fandom is bombarding the songwriters’ social media, demanding explanations and expressing concerns about whether IVE will be able to perform the song live until the issue is resolved. Despite the issue, IVE continues to have a solid discography, and their most recent mini-album includes other bops like “Blue Heart,” “Ice Queen,” “WOW,” and “RESET.”
