"It's such a shame that due to the indiscipline of a few, we couldn't give you the show we had prepared; we wanted to spend more time with all those little girls, little boys, elders, and other fans of Charly and Johayron. God willing, we'll do it again for you; thanks to all the artists who performed before us and to everyone who made the event possible, we love you. Los Lápices," they concluded in the post.

In a story posted on the same platform, the artists elaborated on the incident: "We weren't allowed to continue because we understand they didn't want things to get worse... There are always those undisciplined people who ruin beautiful moments. But uff, we really wanted to spend more time with you. We love you."
