Starbucks Korea CEO fired over 'Tank Day' tumblers linked to 1980 massacre

Starbucks Korea CEO was fired after backlash over a promotional campaign using 'Tank Day' tumblers that referenced the anniversary of 1980 Gwangju uprising. The drinkware was coincidentally promoted on the date of the massacre, invoking memories of tank deployment against pro-democracy protestors. "Outraged by this inhumane and disgraceful conduct," South Korean President Lee Jae-myung said.
