On the 22nd, Bon Colucci underwent surgery at a hospital in South Korea to remove the chin implant that had been inserted in November. His publicist, Eric Blake, stated, "Colucci was very insecure about his appearance," adding, "He thought his chin was square and too wide."


The media reported that Bon Colucci was aware of how dangerous chin surgery could be, but he still wanted to proceed with the operation. It was confirmed that he died due to complications from an infection during the surgery.


Bon Colucci reportedly came to South Korea from Canada in 2019 and struggled to enter the K-pop industry. From June last year, he filmed the eight-episode Korean drama 'Pretty Lies' for six months, which was scheduled to be aired on major U.S. streaming platforms this October.


In the drama, Bon Colucci played a wealthy European exchange student who accidentally becomes a K-pop idol overnight, one of the main characters, delivering a passionate performance.


Blake expressed condolences, saying, "Bon Colucci was very happy and worked really hard," and added, "It is very tragic and unfortunate." He also mentioned, "Bon Colucci had a very hard time finding a job in Korea," and "He felt he was often discriminated against because of his Western appearance."



Bon Colucci had dark blonde hair and blue eyes, and his physical stats were 182 cm in height and 82 kg in weight.
