New Delhi: Saint Von Colucci, a Canadian actor, passed away. He endured up to 12 procedures to resemble Jimin from BTS. He was 22. After many procedures, he developed an infection and passed away in a hospital in South Korea. In order to pursue a career in the music industry, he relocated from Canada to South Korea in 2019.
Saint Von underwent surgery to look like Jimin
On April 22 of this year, Saint Von allegedly underwent another procedure. He underwent surgery to have the jaw implants he had placed in November of last year removed. He did, however, get infected and needed to be intubated. The actor died shortly after the procedure in a matter of hours. He spent close to $220,000 (1.8 crore) on 12 procedures, including a lip reduction, a facelift, a brow lift, an eye lift, and a nose operation.
His publicist Eric Blake spoke to a media portal on Monday and said, “It is very tragic and very unfortunate. 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 and wanted a V-shape, the shape many Asians have. 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 his Western looks.”
All about the Canadian actor
Von began shooting in June of last year for the K-drama Pretty Lies. In December, he finished his filming. He portrayed a prominent role who was an international student. His publicist stated that a big US streaming network will debut the eight-episode show in October.
BTS followers have been sending condolences to the actor. However, some people don’t like how the industry is talking about beauty standards.
