Saint Von Colucci, a Canadian actor who underwent twelve cosmetic procedures to resemble BTS vocalist Jimin, died at the age of 22.
Colucci passed away on Sunday in a hospital in South Korea after complications following his most recent procedure.
On Monday, his spokesman Eric Blake made an announcement.
In an effort to resemble BTS star Jimin, Von Colucci underwent surgery to remove jaw implants on Saturday, April 22, after moving from Canada to South Korea in 2019 to pursue a career in entertainment.
Van Colucci required intubation after the procedure because he got infected. Later, he passed away.
“It’s very tragic and very unfortunate,” Blake said, adding that his client “didn’t like” his “very square jawline and chin,” as he “thought it was too wide.”
Von Colucci spent $220,000 on 12 surgeries over the course of the previous 12 months, including a lip reduction, facelift, nose job, eye lift, and several other procedures.
“He was very insecure about his looks,” Blake explained, specifying that Van Colucci was particularly “unhappy” with his face.
Von Colucci’s original features included dark blond hair and blue eyes. He also stood tall at 6 feet and weighed 182 pounds.
His publicist said he struggled to get a job because of his Western looks which is why he went under the knife.
Blake said, “It was very hard for him to get a job in South Korea. and he felt very discriminated against [because of] his Western looks.”
