It's because of this video
After the show ended, all of the artists said goodbye to the audience.
IVE also greeted the audience.

From afar, that person who did the live broadcast came running along with one other member

They greeted someone

However, IVE didn't realize it because they were too far and the girls were busy interacting with fans

Yujin, who was the closest to him, was also in the middle of interacting with fans when she realized they were bowing to her. They already passed her when she turned around. She missed the timing to bow back to them.

Bang Chan mentioned that he could've misunderstood or not seen the junior idol greeting him back. However, unintentionally, Bang Chan's remarks led to SKZ's international fans looking through all the footage of that day and criticizing IVE for allegedly not greeting him
In conclusion:
1. Bang Chan said that he wasn't sure.
He didn't mention who it was and didn't specify whether it was a male or female idol. He added that he could've also missed seeing that idol greeting him back.
2. SKZ's international fans started searching for the junior idol who didn't greet him.
They exclude senior groups, groups from the same agency, groups that have members he's friends with, and idols who were shown greeting him in fan-taken videos.

3. That situation happened at the end of Music Bank in Paris.
That's how they were convinced that it was IVE and started to criticize them.
4. As a result, IVE is being targeted for groundless accusations.
5. I don't know why they're criticizing Jang Wonyoung.
It looks like they just want to hate her and use this situation as the reason.
6. For your information, when Jang Wonyoung was the MC at Music Bank, she had a good atmosphere when interviewing Stray Kids. They also greeted each other. She also has performed with Hyunjin before.
7. <It is not confirmed that they were the junior idol who didn't greet Bang Chan>
No one is taking responsibility of all the hate and this is only going to end up with female idols getting all the hate.

IVE even greeted the staff as they made their way off of the stage
[+63][-24]
1. [+87][-5] If he really has something to say, he should've said it personally or talked about it through his manager. He knows how scary malicious comments can be, especially because he's also a celebrity himself. His remarks resulted in a situation where junior idols are being targeted and getting a lot of hate. What is he doing? Even if he made a joke like 'Say hello when you see your colleague', I think the junior idols would've realized it and greeted him from then on, unless they're really stubborn or have bad personalities. I wonder if it was necessary to go this far. Did he really want people to throw severe hate on young idols like this? Ugh...
2. [+77][-5] It's funny how when the fan asked him about Music Bank in Paris, his answer makes it sounds like he has been eagerly waiting for a month to talk about thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+75][-3] I don't think they meant to ignore him, though. It's just that he was way too far for them to notice, right...? I don't think anyone would've seen him with that distance. Not to mention that IVE was busy interacting with the audience at that time, it's not strange if they didn't see him. Besides, they just missed the timing to greet him back. I don't understand why IVE is getting a lot of hate because of this. Well, it's not like it's the first or second time international fans making a big fuss out of nothing.
4. [+67][-2] IVE must've not seen him because it was really noisy and chaotic and they were also in the middle of greeting the audience. Besides, he didn't specifically say that it was IVE. Even if he did say it was IVE, they didn't notice him because of the whole situation. They simply just missed the timing to greet him back.
5. [+37][-3] He never said it was IVE in the first place. There was no way for us to tell who he was talking about. And yet some fans are really sure he was talking about them. Once again, he never said it was IVE. The OP is simply just trying to explain why IVE is getting a lot of hate in this post. Let's not hate on both IVE and SKZ~
