Canadian actor, Saint Von Colucci has died from complications arising from multiple surgeries he underwent to look like K-pop superband BTS’ singer Jimin.
Von Colucci, 22, died at a South Korean hospital on Sunday morning.
Reports say that the actor died after suffering complications from the cosmetic procedures he had in November 2022.
His publicist, Eric Blake told Daily Mail that Von Colucci was very insecure about his look, spending over $220,000 on 12 plastic surgeries so he could play the K-pop star for a US streaming network.
According to Blake, the actor moved to South Korea from Canada in 2019 to get into the music industry.
Blake, who began to represent Von Colucci in March 2022, disclosed that the actor went into surgery on Saturday night to remove implants from his jaw that he had put in in November 2022.
The actor developed an infection from the implants and due to complications, he had been intubated but he died hours later.
“He was very insecure about his looks. He had a very square jawline and chin and he didn’t like the shape of it because he thought it was too wide an wanted a V-shape, the shape many Asians have,” Blake said.
He said Von Colucci over the last year had 12 cosmetic procedures, including jaw surgery, implants, a face lift, a nose job, eye lift, an eyebrow lift, a lip reduction and some other minor surgeries.
