For some reason, I have a folder that I cannot read nor change its ownership. If I do a ls command, this is what I get:

drwxrwxrwx  4 myusername myusername 4096 Jan 26 20:35 media1 <--- OK
drwxrwxrwx  4 myusername myusername 4096 Jan 26 20:35 media2 <--- OK
drwxrwxrwx  4 myusername apache   4096 Jan 26 20:35 media3 <--- CANNOT READ

From what I see, it is the 4th column the problem, which is different from the other ones. I tried different commands (chown, chgrp) with sudo privileges, but with no luck.

What do I have to do to make its permissions like the other folders (media1, media2)?

sudo chown -R myusername:myusername media3

Should do the trick. The -R stands for recursive, and will make your username and group combo (first part is username, second part is group name) own the entire folder and its contents.
