Jimin from BTS and other K-pop idols have amassed a sizable fan base outside of South Korea over the past ten years. Fans idolise these idols and strive to look like them. However, the extraordinary measures some enthusiasts take to acquire their ideal appearance might have disastrous effects. Saint Von Colucci, a 22-year-old Canadian actor who reportedly undergone 12 plastic surgery to resemble Jimin, is one unfortunate case. Sadly, complications from the operations led to his death, which happened to be on April 23 in South Korea. Internet users have been spreading an exclusive Daily Mail piece that purports to have information from Saint Von Colucci’spurported publicist Eric Blake.
Colucci reportedly spent more than $220,000 USD on plastic surgery, according to a story citing Colucci’s spokesman Eric Blake. He had jaw implants put in last November, and on Saturday, according to reports, he underwent surgery once more to have the implants taken out. Even though he was informed of the dangers, he went forward with the procedure and developed an infection, which ultimately caused problems, including the need for an intubation. Hours later, he unfortunately died as a result of complications from the surgery, according to reports.
Saint Von Colucci is said to have moved to South Korea in 2019 from Canada in order to seek a career in the K-pop sector. He reportedly started off as a trainee for one of the biggest entertainment businesses in the nation. However, his urge to resemble some K-pop stars led him down a perilous path.
Colucci’s publicist, Eric Blake, claimed to the British tabloid Daily Mail that the actor harboured significant insecurities about his appearance and was dissatisfied with the width of his jaw and chin. He underwent a number of cosmetic surgeries during the past year, including lip reduction, facelifts, jaw implants, nose jobs, eye lifts, eyebrow lifts, and other implants, in an effort to obtain the more desired “V-shape” facial structure typical of Asian cultures.
According to rumours, Colucci had been chosen to play BTS’ Jimin in the next K-drama series “Pretty Lies,” and he was being compensated handsomely with a seven-figure sum. From June to December 2022, he shot the show, which is scheduled to premiere in October of this year. Tragically, he was never able to witness the success of his efforts.
However, the aforementioned piece of news has a mysterious aspect to it. Considering that the’resources’ cited in the story don’t provide any conclusive evidence, several internet users have speculated that the news may be false or without foundation.
