It’s been 22 years since the first episode of “I’m Betty, the Ugly One”, the successful Colombian soap opera that won the Guinness Records, aired.
In the story we saw ‘Beatriz Pinzón Solano’ (played by Ana María Orozco) as a girl and teenager. She often remembered how they made fun of her in the neighborhood where she lived, as she was always considered the ugliest.

In one of the scenes, ‘Betty’ imagines herself in her childhood, and is proud of how far she has come.

Who played teen Betty?
Who gave life to ‘Betty’ was the actress and singer-songwriter Alejandra Botero. We used to know her as ‘Go Away’, but now she is called on her networks Âicen, which is part of her name as a singer who started as a teenager.
The artist in question recently shared several images on TikTok in which he appears performing at age 12 with Ana Maria Orozco. Also with the remembered “Don Hermes” and “Román”, the latter the neighborhood villain who used to make fun of Betty, the ugly one. He recounted what those moments behind the cameras were like.

Sound so original – Âicen
At present, Âicen is dedicated to music exclusively, but from time to time he remembers the good times of the recordings. “Nice” was one of his best known singles.
In addition, the young woman shares her talent through social media, where she is often very active with content about her career and new topics. Also with some motivational phrases to the fans.
