If there’s only one word we can ever use to describe Celeste Díaz, it would be a fighter considering her unwavering resolve to pursue her dreams no matter the obstacles that come her way. This is actually even evidenced in Netflix’s ‘Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE,’ where her consistent hard work as well as deep understanding of overall skill sets also shone through. Little did she know things wouldn’t pan out in the way she had hoped or expected, yet she still faced every aspect of her reality with appreciation in her heart and a genuine smile on her face.
Celeste Díaz Almost Fulfilled Her Dream of Being an Idol
Although primarily an Argentinian, Celeste actually auditioned to be part of Hybe x Geffen Records’ global girl group in Las Vegas, Nevada, only to black out for a solid 20-30 seconds towards the end. Nevertheless, she was still selected for the next round owing to the sheer determination in her eyes plus the potential she had showcased, ultimately resulting in her becoming a pop trainee. She may have only been 18 and without a strong grasp of the English language when she first joined this project back in 2022, but she proved her mettle during lessons every single day.
That’s how Celeste went from being an average contender for the girl group to one of the finest, which was also helped by the fact she knew what was expected of her since she is a K-pop fan. Therefore, of course, she ended up making it all the way to the ‘Dream Academy’ survival show, where her bubbliness, star quality, and skills as a singer-dancer helped her partake in all missions. But alas, since she couldn’t break through some of her issues after a point, she was booted off following Mission 3 — she made it into the top 14 yet not the top 10 and hence missed out on performing live for the world.
Celeste Díaz Has Found Her Calling
While not much regarding Celeste’s early years or upbringing is public knowledge since she prefers to keep it that way, we do know she is technically ethnically half-Argentinian and half-Colombian. It thus comes as no surprise one of her core values is family, so the fact they seemingly support her in all her endeavors, even if it might one day physically take her way, means the world to her. Therefore, today, this 20-year-old Buenos Aries resident continues to pursue her childhood dream of making a name for herself in the entertainment industry as an idol — dancer, singer, plus overall performing artist.
From what we can tell, now fluent in both English and Spanish, Celeste has since found her own hero in Spanish artist Ana Mena and hence better understands the professional path she wishes to take. She has actually made it known she gradually plans on uploading a lot more on social media so as to get exposure through the same, especially as her content will primarily revolve around her career. As a matter of fact, this animal lover with 7 cats and 13 dogs has already shared a few dance covers that have done great in the past few months, so we can not wait to see what’s in store for her next.
Celeste Díaz Seems Content With Everything in Her Life
Despite the fact Celeste was heartbroken over not having made it into KATSEYE, she admittedly doesn’t regret any aspect of her experience as she got to meet some incredible people along the way. In fact, it appears as if she is still close friends with a lot of her former fellow trainees despite the physical distance between them, especially Belarusian Iliya Fedartsova and LA-based Brooklyn Van Zandt. As if that’s not enough, she continues to support the girl group, too — she is truly proud of all her friends’ achievements and doesn’t shy away from any chance to express her feelings online, with them doing the same for her.
