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.
