Protest Against Starbucks Korea In Seoul.

Protesters hold placards and chant slogans such as 'Boycott Starbucks' and 'resignation of Chung Yong-jin' in front of the Starbucks Korea headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, on May 23, 2026. The Korean University Progressive Union calls for a boycott of Starbucks Korea and demands the resignation of Chung Yong-jin, the chairman of E-Mart, which holds the license for the coffee chain in South Korea. Starbucks Korea launched a 'Tank Day' campaign on the anniversary of South Korea's May 18 pro-democracy uprising, leading to widespread backlash on social media and calls for a boycott.
