Saint Von Colucci, a Canadian actor, died at a young age after receiving plastic surgery to resemble Jimin of the K-pop group BTS.
Saint Von Colucci passed away early on Sunday at a hospital in South Korea following problems related to cosmetic surgeries he underwent recently. His age was only 22, according to aceshowbiz.com.
In order to portray the K-pop singer for a US streaming network, Von Colucci reportedly spent $220,000 on 12 plastic surgeries, according to his publicist. He underwent surgery on Saturday night to have the implants he had placed in his jaw in November 2022 removed.
He had been intubated due to problems and an infection from the implants, but he passed away hours later.
According to his representative, Eric Blake, Von Colucci relocated from Canada to South Korea in 2019 to pursue a career in the music business. According to his publicist, he was a trainee for one of the three major South Korean entertainment corporations.
According to Blake, who had been working with the young actor since March 2022, "It's very tragic and very unfortunate." Von Colucci, who stood 6 feet tall, weighed 182 pounds, and had dark blonde hair and blue eyes, according to Blake, was "very insecure" about his appearance.
Blake explains, "He was very self-conscious about his appearance." "He had a very square jawline and chin, and he didn't like the shape of it because he thought it was too wide and wanted a V-shape, the shape that many Asians have."
He claimed that over the course of the previous year, Von Colucci underwent 12 cosmetic procedures, including lip reduction, jaw surgery, implants, a facelift, a nose job, an eye lift, an eyebrow lift, and several other minor operations. Although the procedure to place implants in your jaw involves reshaping your natural jaw, according to Blake's client, he was still interested in having it done.
The young actor, according to Blake, was "very unhappy about his appearance." He continues, "He was really self-conscious about his features. He was a late hopeful. He found it extremely difficult to get employment in South Korea and felt strongly that his appearance was being discriminated against.
In June, Von Colucci began filming the Korean drama "Pretty Lies," which was finished in December. He portrayed an overseas student who was one of the main protagonists.
