Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci has passed away following a series of dangerous cosmetic surgeries and sadly, he was only twenty-two years old.
Apparently, he shelled out a whopping $220,000 to undergo a dozen procedures in a bid to resemble his K-Pop idol, Jimin from BTS, for an upcoming role.
Unfortunately, Saint experienced complications from all the surgeries and ultimately lost his life on Sunday morning at a South Korean hospital.
TMZ reported that the actor went under the knife 12 times to transform his look so he could play Jimin in a streaming show ... including jaw implants, a nose job, a face-lift, lip reduction, an eyebrow lift and an eye lift, just to name a few.
But, Saint's publicist says he developed an infection from the jaw implants, which were first added in November, and went into surgery Saturday night to remove them. The procedure went south, and he had to be intubated and ultimately died hours later.
Saint reportedly knew the risks involved with jaw implant surgery, but still wanted to go through with the procedure ... with the goal of reshaping his square jawline and chin into more of a V-shape.
The actor shelled out seven figures for the surgeries to play Jimin in the Korean drama, "Pretty Lies," which his publicist says wrapped in December and is set to air in October on a major streaming network.
Saint's publicist says the actor went to South Korea in 2019 to try and break into the music industry, but was insecure about his face and his appearance and thought he wasn't getting roles because he "felt very discriminated against his Western looks."
This tragic event is a stark reminder of the dangers of vanity and the potential risks associated with cosmetic surgeries. While it's natural to want to look our best, it's never worth jeopardizing our health and wellbeing.
How unfortunate that these societal pressures claimed a young mans life.
