Kel Calderón—also known as Raquel Calderón or simply Kel—began her public career in 2007, when she appeared on the Chilean teen TV series “Karkú.” From that moment, her name became widely recognized through television exposure and, in parallel, through her family link to well-known Chilean TV personality Raquel Argandoña, a connection that placed Kel in the public eye at a young age and shaped her early media footprint.

Over time, her profile expanded beyond TV into a hybrid public identity that blends influencer culture with a legal career. In 2024, she became an officially sworn lawyer after completing her academic process, while continuing a steady presence across social platforms through lifestyle, fashion, and event-based content. That combination of mainstream media visibility and digital relevance is key to understanding why her name remains closely tied to Chilean pop culture.

Among the most notable Chilean TV-related figures connected to Kel, her long-discussed friendship with Vesta Lugg stands out, as they shared public appearances and campaigns that frequently positioned them as a recognizable duo in the youth entertainment circuit. She has also been publicly linked to TV personality Pangal Andrade through a widely covered relationship, and to actor Javier Castillo in a well-known early chapter of her media life—connections that frame her place within Chilean television and her later expansion into social media.
