Starbucks Korea to close stores early for mandatory history training after marketing row

Starbucks Korea will close all stores early for mandatory history training following a controversial marketing campaign perceived as mocking victims of the 1980 Gwangju pro-democracy uprising. The campaign, which used the slogan 'Thwack it on the table!', was canceled after backlash, and the CEO was fired. The training aims to address the controversy and prevent future issues.
