Seoul police searched Starbucks Korea’s headquarters

Seoul police ‘raided’ and searched Starbucks Korea’s headquarters on the morning of the 5th. According to Yonhap News Agency, police are investigating allegations that Starbucks’ ‘Tank Day’ promotional campaign in May this year ‘insulted individuals associated with the May 18 Democratization Movement’, and this was the first search-and-seizure operation in the 76 days since the Metropolitan Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency began its investigation.
