Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci has passed away at the age of 22 after reportedly undergoing 12 plastic surgeries to resemble BTS singer Jimin. The actor died in a South Korean hospital after suffering complications from the cosmetic procedures he had a few months ago. He had gone into surgery on Saturday night to remove implants from his jaw that he had put in in November 2022 but developed an infection after the surgery and was intubated. He died a few hours later.
Before undergoing the surgeries, Mr. Colucci had dark blond hair and blue eyes and was 6 feet tall. His publicist Eric Blake said that the actor moved from Canada to South Korea in 2019 to pursue a career in the K-pop industry and spent $220,000 on 12 cosmetic procedures that included a facelift, a nose job, lip reduction, an eye lift, and other minor surgeries.
According to Mr. Blake, the actor was aware of the risks involved with the jaw implant surgery but insisted on continuing the procedure as he was “insecure about his looks”. He wanted a V-shape, which is the shape many Asians have, and felt discriminated against his Western looks, making it difficult for him to get a job in South Korea.
Mr. Colucci was in South Korea to star in the Korean drama Pretty Lies as one of the main characters, an international student. The show is set to be released on a US streaming service in October.
