Seoul, South Korea: Canadian actor, Saint Von Colucci, 22-year old died after many undergoing surgeries to look like a K-pop star BTS Jimin. Along with actor, he was also a singer, and songwriter.

As per reports Von Colucci have undergone 12 plastic surgeries, worth more than $200,000, just to make his appearance like BTS member Jimin and overcome discrimination “against his Western traits”. He was also have role in recently upcoming Korean drama.

Last year from June, Saint Von Colucci started filming for the Korean drama, and shoot was completed in December. He acted one of the main characters, an international student. 

Von's original features included, dark blinded hair and blue eyes. He was 6 feet tall and weighed 182 pounds.

Some evidence suggests that he is the product of an elaborate hoax using artificial intelligence that fooled dozens of media outlets, stretching from the United States and Canada to the United Kingdom, South Korea, India, Malaysia and the Philippines.

The debacle appears to be the first known case of AI being used to trick media outlets en masse into spreading misinformation, heralding the dawn of a new era of computer-generated fake news.

Earlier this week the saga began when journalists from all around the world received a press release announcing that Von Colucci has passed away on April 23 at a hospital in Seoul.

However, the press release contained numerous red flags.

In the press release many web links documents would not load, along with a link to Von Colucci’s Instagram account, and hospital mentioned does not exist.
