Hara is under fire for reportedly regifting wine she received from a fan.
A close friend of Hara shared photo of the wine in question on Instagram as well as the message, "Hara, who's no different than my daughter, thank you for the gift." One netizen then asked if there was an engraving on the wine bottle, which Hara's friend confirmed.
It then became an issue as the netizen claimed, "That's a birthday gift to Hara from her fans." The wine is said to cost approximately $130 USD. Some fans stated, "The price isn't what's important. It's the fact that she gave away a gift that we put our hearts into."
Hara's agency KeyEast Entertainment has stepped in to say, "The fans may be disappointed from their point of view, but Hara is unable to drink alcohol so she gave the gift away to an acquaintance during a meal."
