Chile, you were phenomenal

Despite the extremely short duration of his stay, Muniz expressed deep appreciation for the reception he received from his Chilean fans. He participated in the event on Friday, the sole day of his attendance, taking to the main stage where he was met with an energetic welcome. Fans cheered as they played "Boss Of Me," the iconic theme song from "Malcolm in the Middle" by They Might Be Giants.

On his Instagram account, Muniz posted a video capturing the euphoric reaction of the audience. He captioned the moment, "Chile, you were phenomenal," lamenting the brevity of his visit. He acknowledged that the 17-hour flight the previous night was worthwhile, even as he prepared for another 17-hour journey back.
