Starbucks to Close Stores at 3 PM on June 22 for Mandatory History Training for All Staff

Starbucks, which has faced criticism over its "Tank Day" marketing campaign that was accused of disparaging the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement, will conduct history training for all employees.

All stores across the country will close at 3 PM on June 22, and staff will attend lectures on historical awareness and social sensitivity through video materials.

Chung Yong-jin, Chairman of Shinsegae Group, is scheduled to undergo the training two days later, on June 24, along with the CEOs of the group's affiliates.
