Kim Min-ha, Confident Freckles Stand Out Even More Than Her Beauty

Kim Min-ha has once again proven her charm with close-up selfies that do not hide a single one of her freckles. Instead of dressing up glamorously, she revealed the vivid freckles on her face as they are, drawing reactions that her unique atmosphere has actually become even more vivid.

On the 8th, Kim Min-ha released behind-the-scenes photos from the 31st Busan International Film Festival on her SNS along with the text "BUSAN 2026." The photos contain selfies she took herself while preparing for the festival schedule. Even in the photos where the camera is held close, the freckles located on Kim Min-ha's cheeks are clearly visible.

In particular, her choice of natural skin expression instead of thick base makeup to hide the freckles catches the eye. Rather, the freckles located all over her face emphasized Kim Min-ha's unique individuality, capturing attention with a charm different from the common "perfect skin."

Freckles have been a characteristic that has followed Kim Min-ha for a long time. Appearing on MBN and Channel S's "Jun Hyun-moo's Plan 4" broadcast on August 7, she personally shared her thoughts on how freckles follow her like a related search term. At that time, she confessed, "Even when I was young, it never particularly bothered me," but rather, she came to newly recognize her characteristic after hearing many stories about her freckles from those around her after starting her work as an actress.

Recently, her significantly changed facial lines also catch the eye. It is known that Kim Min-ha lost about 17kg for her terminally ill character in the movie "Let's Shake Our Sun." To play the female protagonist who suffers from uremia because both kidneys are not functioning properly and is diagnosed as unlikely to live for more than a year if she does not receive a transplant, she even underwent physical changes.

Due to the large weight loss of 17kg, her facial lines also appear much thinner. Combined with this, by revealing her trademark freckles as they are, she completed an atmosphere different from artificially decorated beauty. As an actress, after changing even her body for a character, she has shown her natural face again in front of the camera.

Kim Min-ha is also preparing for the release of director Kim Jong-kwan's movie "The Table: Day and Night" this November. It is a romance drama that depicts four different love stories centered around a cafe in a quiet alley. Interest is gathering into what kind of charm Kim Min-ha, who shows a different face with each work, will show this time by embracing even her freckles as her individuality.
