Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci has died after undergoing 12 surgeries to resemble K-pop band BTS’ singer Jimin. He passed away at a hospital in South Korea on April 23, 2023, after experiencing complications from cosmetic procedures. According to his publicist, Von Colucci spent $220,000 to transform his appearance, with the intention of playing the K-pop star for a US streaming network. The actor was only 22 years old.
Background
Saint Von Colucci was a Canadian actor who moved to South Korea from Canada in 2019 to pursue his dream of working in the music industry. He was working as a trainee for one of the three big South Korean Entertainment companies at the time of his passing.
Surgery
Von Colucci underwent a series of surgeries to change his appearance to look more like the K-pop star, Jimin. The procedures included jaw surgery, implants, a facelift, a nose job, eye lift, an eyebrow lift, a lip reduction, and some minor surgeries. His publicist said that he knew how risky the jaw implant surgery was, but he still wanted to get it. The actor was very unhappy about his appearance and felt very discriminated against his Western looks.
Complications
Von Colucci went into surgery to remove the implants from his jaw that he had put in in November 2022. He developed an infection from the implants, and due to complications, he had been intubated but died hours later.
Reaction
Von Colucci’s publicist, Eric Blake, described his death as “very tragic and very unfortunate.” Blake had been working with the actor since March 2022 and shared that Von Colucci was “very insecure” about his looks. He added that the actor had a very square jawline and chin, which he didn’t like, as he thought it was too wide and wanted a V-shape, the shape many Asians have.
Conclusion
The death of Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci after 12 surgeries to look like BTS’ Jimin has raised concerns over the risks of cosmetic procedures. The tragic outcome serves as a reminder of the potential dangers involved in elective surgeries and the importance of considering the consequences carefully before undergoing any procedure.
