A Canadian actor, Saint Von Colucci, has died after 12 sessions of plastic surgery to look like BTS star, Jimin, went tragically wrong. BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a South Korean boy band formed in 2010. The band consists of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, who co-write or co-produce much of their material.
Saint Von Colucci reportedly spent $220,000
(N101,316,600) on 12 separate plastic surgeries in order to look like the K-pop
star ahead of auditioning to play him in a US streaming network’s show. The
22-year-old actor is said to have died at a hospital in South Korea on Sunday
morning after complications from cosmetic procedures he underwent months ago
which became fatal.
It was believed the budding performer
contracted an infection from implants put into his body, following which he
required intubation and died several hours afterwards. His publicist, Eric
Blake, informed MailOnline that the actor had surgery on Saturday night to take
out implants from his jaw that he had cosmetically altered last November.
Eric Blake said, “It’s 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.”
The publicist went on to explain all the
surgeries the young actor had undergone and listed them to include jaw surgery,
implants, a facelift, a nose job, an eye lift, an eyebrow lift, and a lip
reduction – among some other minor surgeries over the years.
He also said Von Colucci was aware of how
risky his jaw surgery could be however was adamant he still wanted to go ahead
with it.
