A police investigation is underway in South Korea regarding a Starbucks marketing campaign. The campaign was perceived as defaming pro-democracy movements from the 1980s. The controversy led to a raid on the Starbucks headquarters in southern Seoul.

Investigators searched the premises on Tuesday, according to police. Further details about the investigation are available from South Korean media, which reported that investigators also visited the residences of Starbucks executives. The incident stems from a promotional campaign for stainless-steel tumblers that sparked a public uproar, but specific information about the investigation's progress is not provided.
