- Starbucks Korea to temporarily shut all stores for history lesson after bungled coffee promotion
Starbucks Korea will temporarily close all 2,000+ stores on 22 June for employees to watch recorded lectures on modern Korean history and 'social sensitivity' training. The closures follow a controversial coffee promotion linked to a pro-democracy massacre, which sparked public and political backlash, and are expected to cost 2.1bn won ($1.4m) in lost sales.
