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

Starbucks, which has faced criticism for its "Tank Day" marketing that disparaged the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement, will conduct history training for all employees.

All stores nationwide will close at 3 PM on June 22, and employees 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 alongside the CEOs of the group's affiliates two days later, on June 24.
