However, ever since May 14, 2023, no one would've expected that "Chan's Room" would be on hiatus. On his last livestream, Bang Chan shared his experiences during KBS2's "2023 Music Bank in Paris" that broadcasted on April 7.

Bang Chan then addressed the topic of basic manners and proper etiquette, aspects which, according to the Stray Kids leader, were something that junior idols have failed to do during the event. Though he didn't mention names, it still followed a heated debate among fans.

Amid the intensity, many ended up on the speculation that fourth-gen girl group IVE was the juniors that Bang Chan had implied on his broadcast. Bang Chan would later then apologize for his words and actions, causing further splits between STAYs and DIVEs.
