It looks like MNET's official YouTube account got hacked after fans noticed that many of BTS comeback stages like "Anpanman", "Boy With Luv", and "Fake Love" which every video has more than 100M to 200M views.
Not only are BTS videos deleted, there were also videos from other K-pop groups like TXT, ATEEZ, Stray Kids, and MAMAMOO.
Fans Worry About Deleted MNET Videos
It seems like hacking official accounts, whether YouTube or Instagram, is spreading these days because MNET's official YouTube account also got hacked.
Many fans saw that a video of Elon Musk, Space X's CEO, got into MNET's YouTube account. For fans, this is clear proof that it was hacked. The video was followed by many deleted K-pop videos from groups like MAMAMOO
Many K-pop fans have noticed that the videos with really high views were hte ones that got deleted, hence, many BTS and TXT videos are gone.
They are now tweeting out their frustrations about MNET's weak security. Many are saying that how can a big company with really high YouTube views just let someone hack into their account.
Other tweets are saying:
"WDYM THAT MNET GOT HACKED AND DELETED THE BTXT VIDEO WHERE TXT VISITED THEIR CONCERT?!??! NOO WTF I JUST CHECKED I FUCKING CAN'T FIND IT "
"someone reach out to mnet and tell them their account is hacked and that they deleted TXT videos, even their debut performance 'CROWN' and the btxt episode"
Some ARMYs are bothered that MNET did not do anything to prevent it from happening again as it was done a month ago already.
"Fake Love, Idol, and BWL were deleted a month ago when somebody hacked Mnet's channel and deleted a lot of videos with high views. They haven't put any of them up again so they probably won't. They didn't address it either even if their own videos got deleted ( like I land)"
"Mnet really is useless like how does your channel get hacked twice in a couple of months, your most viewed videos get deleted and you still don't reupload them??? Mnet does not give it shit I can tell you that"
Will MNET Restore The Deleted Videos?
Now, many BTS and TXT fans are mad at MNET for not doing any action against the hacker of their YouTube account. They are complaining because they cannot rewatch their favorite performances and other extra videos posted by the channel.
Many TXT fans are really mad at MNET because many of the debut stages of the boy group got deleted. Videos of their "One Dream", "Run Away", and "Crown" are all gone.
Not only those but their own show's videos, "Kingdom", most of the performance videos are gone. One example is Stray Kids' performances, which also frustrated many fans.
Since more fans have noticed the deleted videos, they are waiting for MNET's response to the issue. Many of them are expecting the company to actually say something instead of leaving fans to wonder if their favorite live performance will ever be posted again.
