A reporter from Univision starred in one of the most talked-about moments on the red carpet of the Premios Juventud 2026: while greeting Wisin, who arrived with his wife Yomaira Ortiz, she mistakenly addressed him as "Yandel" in front of the channel's cameras.
The video posted on Univision's official TikTok captures the exact moment: "A shout-out to Univision, Yandel, greetings to the beautiful people of Univision, your lovely wife," the reporter can be heard saying. The clip garnered over 500,000 views in just a few hours and sparked a flood of comments across all platforms.
What stood out the most, aside from the mistake, was Wisin's reaction: smiling, polite, and unruffled, he responded kindly and did not correct the reporter at any point. Social media quickly praised him for it.
"Wisin has always been a gentleman in every sense of the word; he is always so respectful," wrote a user who received dozens of reactions.
But the funniest comments came in waves. Here are some of the ones that got the most laughs:
"Yandel has arrived, and Wisin will be here soon."
"At least he said Yandel and not Pitbull" — this received 480 likes.
"The HR department is waiting for you, Miss" — with 209 likes, it was one of the most applauded.
"Why is Wisin's wife with Yandel? Hahaha" — 166 likes and counting.
"Look at Daddy Yankee with his wife."
"He thought the guy's name was WISINI YANDEL."
"Banned by Univisión for saying Yandel"
"ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE TELLING BAD BUNNY HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH"
"Yandel is telling Wisin, 'I went out with your woman.'"
"The lady who shares good morning images with colors in the work group."
"When you have the contacts, but you don’t even know where you’re standing."
"Wisinnnnnnn... Oh God, and she's a reporter."
"Yandel The Survivor with Wisin The Legend"
"That happens when reporters know nothing about music."
"She only had to do one thing well, and she ended up telling Yandel to Tito el Bambino."
"It's not Yandel, it's Cosculluela!" — because of course, more options had to be added to the menu.
The confusion has a certain sentimental logic: Wisin and Yandel formed one of the most iconic reggaeton duos for over two decades, known as "The Duo of History." Their names were so intertwined that, for many, they still seem like almost a single word. The ironic detail is that both artists appeared at the gala in Marbella: Wisin performed a medley of his hits, and Yandel was named Change Agent alongside Marc Anthony, which may have contributed to the reporter's mental short circuit.
A user summed it up with disarming honesty: "I knew who was who after 20 years."
And another wrapped up the debate with some philosophy: "Wisin and Yandel are the same, no break haha."
