Saint Von Colucci, a 22-year-old Canadian actor who had plastic surgery to make him resemble BTS vocalist Jimin, passed away.
On Sunday morning, the actor passed away in a hospital in South Korea.
According to aceshowbiz.com, Von Colucci passed away as a result of problems from the cosmetic operations he underwent a few months prior.
He underwent surgery on Saturday night to have implants he had placed in his jaw back 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.
“It’s very tragic and very unfortunate,” says Blake, who had been working with the young actor since March 2022.
Von Colucci, who measured 6 feet tall, weighed 182 pounds, and had dark blonde hair and blue eyes, was described by Blake as being “very insecure” about his appearance.
“He was very insecure about his looks,” Blake explains. “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 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 face lift, a nose job, an eye lift, an eyebrow lift, and several other minor operations.
“He was very unhappy about his appearance,” Blake said
“He was very insecure about his face. It was very hard for him to get a job in South Korea and he felt very discriminated against for his Western looks.”
