Recently, Lesti reminisced about her struggles during her time competing in D'Academy. She revealed that she wanted to give up and go home while still in quarantine.
1. Limited Communication
Lesti mentioned that there was a moment where she missed her parents a lot. Especially when her communication with her family and people outside the dormitory was very limited.
"There was a moment when I really wanted to go home, missing my father and mother. Back then, we weren't allowed to touch our phones at all," she said as quoted from POLES (Kepoin Lesti), (25/3).
"Then when we reached the top 10, we moved to the dormitory and there was a visit from parents, but only for one hour on Sundays. And it was accompanied by the dorm mother, so we couldn't be too free. It was really strict back then," continued the singer of the song Egois.
2. Mixed Feelings
However, her determination to continue learning was not easily shaken by her longing. Continuing the struggle, Lesti finally emerged as the champion of D'Academy. Lesti admitted that she had mixed feelings when announced as the winner.
"I didn't expect it, I was so happy. At that age, I was given the opportunity to win a big event and all the competitors were already adults. It was like a really happy feeling, I can't even express it," she reminisced.
