4th Generation Girl Group Member Gets Called Out For Giving Away Luxury Brand Fan Gifts
H1-KEY‘s Riina was recently called out for allegedly giving away and lending fan gifts to other people. A fan of hers had gifted her multiple branded items, including a pricey DIOR handbag and a Celine wallet.
The fan spotted Riina’s younger sister carrying the bag that they had gifted Riina. The bag easily costs thousands of USD depending on model and size.
They brought the issue up directly to Riina through the fan platform. Riina immediately reaassured them that they had simply lent the bag to their sister and had since taken it back.
And unnie, it might sound like an excuse, or maybe it is, so I thought about it before leaving a comment. My sister really begged me to lend it to her, so I lent it to her once, telling her to take good care of it. Perhaps she was so excited about it, that she posted photos all thrilled… I took it back.

While the bag seemed to have been a one-off thing, the fan was also upset as the wallet they had given Riina was consistently seen on her sister’s Instagram page, leading the fan to suspect that it wasn’t just a borrow, but had been re-gifted.
The fan was so upset that they took to X to post about their experience.
If you’re planning on giving Riina gifts, you should know that other people can end up using it. I saw photos being posted on Riina’s younger sister’s Instagram account of the bag and shoes that another fan gave Riina. The account is a public one that most fans of Riina know about. Back then, because it was a gift that I had already given to her, I thought that it’s fine as long as she didn’t sell it. But my acquaintances told me that this isn’t something that can happen, that this simply is taking the gift-giver for a fool, and that I should tell her or the company about it. I took these into account and told the company the truth about this, but the company simply said that she took the gifts back. But after this, I still kept seeing the card wallet I gave her being used by her sister. I couldn’t help but think she didn’t just lend it to her, but regifted it. All of H1-KEY live in the dorms, so her sister could not have taken it without permission, neither could it be a case of siblings sharing wardrobes. Riina would have directly lent it to her sister, and Riina also acknowledged this herself.

The company has yet to respond to the accusations.
