Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci has lost his life after undergoing 12 surgeries to look like South Korean band BTS singer Jimin.
As per a new report, the Canadian actor died in a South Korean hospital at the age of 22 after complications from his most recent procedure.
Reportedly, Saint Von moved to South Korea from Canada in 2019 for a career in the music industry. The actor underwent surgery on April 22 this year to remove jaw implants he had put in November last year.
However, after the surgery, he developed an infection and had to be intubated. He died a few hours later. In the last year, Saint Von spent $220,000 on 12 surgeries, including a nose job, a facelift, an eyebrow lift, an eye lift, and a lip reduction, among others.

His publicist Eric Blake revealed that the late actor was very insecure about his looks, his 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.
According to Blake, 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 by his Western looks, he added.
As per the report, after arriving in South Korea in 2019, a firm paid for Saint Von’s housing, transportation, and living expenses. Eric said he was under a seven-year contract with him.
Saint Von started filming for the Korean drama, ‘Pretty Lies’ in June last year, and the shoot was completed in December. He played one of the main characters, an international student.
Eric said the eight-episode show is set to air on a major US streaming network in October. Saint Von’s original features included dark blonde hair and blue eyes. He was 6 feet tall and weighed 182 pounds.
