Wiki/Biography
Saint Von Colucci was born on Thursday, 28 December 2000 (age 22 years; at the time of death) in Quebec, Canada. His zodiac sign was Capricorn. He was interested in music since childhood, particularly emo/pop music. He worked as a child actor and a model before moving out to the USA. He pursued a course in music production at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He moved to Seoul, South Korea, in 2019, where he wrote songs for Korean pop artists. In an interview in 2022, he regretted his decision to move to Seoul and said that he moved to Seoul due to financial problems. He said,
It was a poor decision made out of financial desperation. When you are a nobody and get cut off financially by your parents for pursuing arts, you have no choice but to sell your songs and the copyrights of it, so someone else can take credits instead of you.”

Death
Saint Von Colucci died on 23 April 2023 at a South Korean hospital after undergoing an operation. He had undergone 12 surgeries to look like singer Jimin of the K-Pop band BTS. He was offered a 7-figure deal to work in a Korean series for which he had to look like Jimin. He spent $220,000 (around Rs 1,80,00,000) on 12 surgeries, which included jaw surgery, implants, a facelift, a nose job, an eye lift, an eyebrow lift, a lip reduction, and some other minor surgeries.

Facts/Trivia
- He knew 5 languages, English, French, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
- He once said in an interview that racism was rampant in South Korea, and there was an urgent need of anti-racism laws to be implemented in the country. He said that he would always stand by the right thing and would fight for what he believed in. He said,
South Korea is a racist country, but unlike any other racist countries such as the USA, Australia, etc, South Korea`s racism, just like in Poland, is not within the minority of the population but within the exact institutions that should be condoning it, such as the governments and local business. South Korea lacks basic anti-discrimination laws and turns a blind eye to it due to being a minority`s problem in the country. Just like misogyny, racism is rampant in the country. That being said, I can tell you one thing for sure, I will make it, but while still staying true to myself and by fighting for what I believe is right, even if that means being hated by most of the world’s population.”
- He signed a deal with the agency IBG PLUS in 2021 and later signed a worldwide management deal with the agency City Boys Money.

- His agent Eric Blake, who had been working with Colucci since March 2022, said in an interview after his death that Colucci was insecure about his looks. He said,
He had a very square jawline and chin and he didn’t like the shape of it because he thought it was too wide an wanted a V-shape, the shape many Asians have. He was very insecure about his face. It was very hard from him to get a job in South Korea and he felt very discriminated against his Western looks.” [2]Outlook
