A young actor has died after undergoing a dozen cosmetic surgeries over the course of a year in order to look like BTS singer Jimin.
Saint Von Colucci passed away early Sunday at the age of 22 at a South Korea hospital due to complications from his most recent procedure, his publicist, Eric Blake, told DailyMail.com on Monday.

Van Colucci — who moved from Canada to the K-pop (Korean popular music) mecca in 2019 in pursuit of a career in entertainment — went under the knife on Saturday to remove jaw implants he had put in last November.
Following the operation, which he apparently knew was risky, Van Colucci developed an infection and had to be intubated. He died hours later.


“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.”
In the last 12 months, Von Colucci spent $220,000 on 12 surgeries, including a facelift, a nose job, an eye lift, an eyebrow lift and a lip reduction, among others.
“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.
“It was very hard from him to get a job in South Korea,” Blake claimed, “and he felt very discriminated against [because of] his Western looks.”
According to Blake, Von Colucci filmed an eight-episode Korean drama series called “Pretty Lies” — natively tiled “Cogimar” — in which he played Jimin, the 27-year-old star of Grammy-nominated K-pop group BTS.

Blake told DailyMail.com that the show, which was in production from June to December 2022, is set to air on a major United States streaming service in October.
“He was very, very excited and worked really hard,” Blake said.
Reps for Jimin and BTS did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
