Starbucks faces backlash in South Korea over ‘Tank Day’ campaign
Starbucks is facing backlash in South Korea over a “Tank Day” marketing campaign that evoked the country’s deadly 1980 military crackdown on pro-democracy protesters. In South Korea, Tank Day commemorates the day the country’s then-military government sent troops and tanks to supress mass rallies for democracy.
