Juan Karlos expresses concern over baby spotted in his recent gig

Juan Karlos showed care and worry for a baby brought by her parents to his recent gig.

While performing at the Paniqui Music Fest 2024 in Tarlac, the 23-year-old singer was heard addressing the crying baby's parents, expressing concern about the loud music and inappropriate language used in his song "Ere."

Multiple TikTok users caught the exchange on video and shared it online. 

"Two months? Ba't mo pinaparinig ng Ere 'yung bata?" he asked. "Two months pa lang. Maaga. 'Wag," JK said.

The OPM singer recognized how infants' ears tend to be sensitive to loud noises and asked the baby’s parents, "Wala bang ear muffs si baby?"

"Umiiyak na si baby o OK lang ba iyan? Umiiyak. Kawawa naman 'yung bata," he added.

He then explained to the crowd: "So 'yung mga bata, especially mga one-year-old and below, super sensitive pa 'yung mga tenga nila."

Concerned about the child's safety, JK asked for headphones to protect the baby's ears against the loud noise.

"Sino ba meron diyang headphones or something? Headphones na di naka-on, something na ganon," he asked.

While JK appreciates everyone's support for his music, he believes that a child's safety should always come first at music events.

"Maraming salamat sa suporta, pero please, alagaan n'yo si baby,” he said. 

"Ere," which contains curse words in its lyrics, is one of the tracks on Juan Karlos's latest album, "Sad Songs and Bullshit Part 1."

The song reached the no. 2 spot on Spotify's Global Viral Songs, and was among the most searched song on Google in 2023.

In October last year, JK performed the song with Lukas Graham after the Danish pop band invited him to their concert.
