What did he do to disobey?
he inadvertently disobeyed the choreography by walking around the stage, when it was planned that he would stay still.
what did he say about it?
The mistake was such a big deal that from that moment on, never again did I move when I wasn't supposed to move...That was the discipline of Menudo.
What was said if this didnt happen?
That was the discipline of Menudo: You either did things the way you were told or you were not part of the group.
What was a song they wrote?
The song "Asignatura Pendiente" from Almas del Silencio (2003) was inspired by the first time Martin left Puerto Rico to tour with Menudo.
