Starbucks Korea will temporarily shut down all its stores nationwide except a handful of airport outlets on June 22 for a mandatory history lesson.
The decision comes after a marketing campaign that was widely criticized for being insensitive to the Gwangju Uprising of 1980.
The campaign, which promoted stainless-steel tumblers called "SS Tank," declared May 18 as "Tank Day," the anniversary of the Gwangju pro-democracy uprising.
