The official YouTube channel of the group 'IVE', along with other groups under Starship Entertainment, has been hacked. 

On the 4th, Starship Entertainment reported to Edaily that their artists' official channels had been compromised. They are currently working with YouTube to resolve the issue and apologized for any inconvenience caused to the users, promising to make efforts to quickly restore the content.

Earlier that day, speculation arose that the official YouTube channels of Starship Entertainment's groups, including IVE, Monsta X, and Cravity, had been hacked. Their channel names were changed to 'SpaceX', and all content was made private. IVE and Monsta X's channels have over 3.37 million and 2.57 million followers respectively, while Cravity's channel is close to 800,000 followers.

SpaceX is an aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company founded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. There have been several instances where various YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook accounts were hacked and flooded with content related to SpaceX, suggesting the work of a specific hacker or hacking group.

It's never normally SpaceX they spam with. It's always some "Elon is telling you to buy some junk bitcoin" in a fake live stream. They'll have it recovered and back to normal in a day.
