South Korean police raided the headquarters of Starbucks’ local operation as part of an investigation into a marketing campaign perceived as defaming 1980s' pro-democracy movements. The raid occurred after the campaign drew criticism for imagery that some connected to historical protests and struggles for democratization.
The investigation centers on whether the marketing materials improperly referenced or diminished the significance of these movements. No further details regarding the specifics of the campaign, or potential charges, have been released. Both the *New York Post* and *The Independent* reported on the police action, confirming that the probe is underway.
