The tragedy of "plastic surgery" to look like stars and idols

TMZ reported on April 24 that Saint Von Collucci passed away on the morning of April 23 at a hospital in South Korea due to complications from cosmetic surgery. The information was shared with the press by the actor's spokesperson.

Saint Von Collucci underwent 12 plastic surgeries to transform his appearance to play Jimin in the long-running series "Pretty Lies" and broadcast on a major online platform. The surgeries included jaw transplant, nose job, facelift, lip reduction, eyebrow lift, eye surgery...

The actor suffered an infection from his first jaw implant in November 2022 and had surgery on the evening of April 22. Due to complications, he passed away a few hours after the surgery. The actor knew the risks involved in jaw implant surgery but still wanted to undergo the procedure.

The actor came to Korea in 2019 to try his hand at music, but was insecure about his appearance, his agent said, believing he was being discriminated against for not getting roles due to his Western appearance.

Saint Von Collucci is not the first person to want to use "plastic surgery" to look like famous stars and idols for convenience in work or because of love. Previously, Oli London - a British artist with influence on social networks spent a lot of money and underwent 32 surgeries to look like Jimin.

Oli London often dresses exactly like Jimin and appears in video clips on online platforms to attract the attention of the online community. However, he has faced a lot of criticism from the public, Jimin fans and BTS. "I really regret having too much plastic surgery. Relying on surgery to change my appearance to become someone else was the wrong decision. Now I just want to go back to normal like before" - Oli London confided.

Some die-hard idol fans who try to get plastic surgery to look like their idols include Kitty trying to look like Jennifer Lawrence; Tobias Strebel spending money to look like Justin Bieber; Jennifer Pamplona wanting to look like Kim Kardashian...

Of course, most of the clones, attempts to look exactly like other stars and idols through "plastic surgery" have suffered many tragedies. Some died from surgery like Saint Von Collucci, some became addicted to "plastic surgery", painkillers and other consequences.
