When I watched the show, at one point I stopped to Google "Squid Games Actress" and there she was like Google knew who I was talking about above the other actresses.
I was disappointed she doesn't seem to really have freckles unless she covers them up.
I think she has freckles but they aren't considered something to show off in S.Korea, a place where a lot of young people are gifted plastic surgery packages as birthday or graduation gifts.
Freckles and moles would be seen as a flaw and being unable to afford surgery/treatment to remove them a sign of poverty, so if she do got them then it's more likely that she would cover them up somewhat to fit in with SK beauty standards.
Asian girls are notorious for faking freckles to look cute. That includes Koreans
My date has them and they vanish sometimes whenever she wears makeup or something. Seemingly it doesn't take much to cover them.
Maybe that's the case for Canada, but in China, SKorea and sometimes Japan freckles are seen as ugly and a flaw. There was a whole fucking issue about a Chinese model not covering up her freckles. Whitening products are the most sought after skin products in many countries even if most of them have damaging effects. Pale smooth skin free of blemishes is a must in the asian entertainment industry
