"It's not that deep, let people drink coffee" It's not that deep? more than 30k people have been killed over the course of six months. the next generation of Palestinians is going to have birth defects because on average, 10 kids a day become amputees. premature births have increased by 20-30 percent. 13 libraries containing old and important texts have been burnt down. people are actively trying to erase a whole culture and drive them away from their homes. a university that is more than 1000 years old has been reduced to a pile of rubble. more children have been killed daily than in the holocaust. Palestinians, even if they don't currently live in Palestine, are going to have trauma over this. this is the most well-recorded genocide ever witnessed and yet it is still going on.
all this but you can't stop buying far-too-expensive and shitty coffee from a multimillion-dollar company that is funding the group responsible for this genocide? grow up and start to realise that you, even as one person, have the power to affect a company because when you start, you will somehow influence the people around you. and there are way better and cheaper places to buy coffee from.
so, yes. it is that deep.

hi, about the yunjin starbucks controversy.
i’m gonna try to be as fair as possible talking about this controversy, but i’ll be honest i’m leaning more on yunjin’s side. i’ve been getting several requests on yunjin and i feel like i need to get this off my chest every time i see her name on my page.
let’s start off with the facts: yunjin was caught drinking starbucks in Korea (in front of the company building.)
I thought she drank it on a post or somethrong but no, it was just a few pixels of a low quality picture fans took. And that’s my first minor problem; she wasn’t on live, it wasn’t a post, it was a few milliseconds of pixels. But I get the ‘performative activism’ controversy, it DOES feel like she’s hiding it.
However, my take is that she just got out from her car, and wanna know a little fun fact? Most snacks and drinks that all idols are seen eating are most likely bought by their managers. And it’s a fact that Koreans aren’t currently boycotting Starbucks as actively as western foreigners are. So my thought the first time I saw the picture was that. The manager probably just bought coffee from whatever shop was closest, and handed it to her.
But I do understand how that can feel like reaching so I did some more research .
The biggest thing I have to so called ‘defend’ Yunjin is that Starbucks Korea is completely separate from International Starbucks (source: ChosunBiz).
In 2021, 67.5% of Starbucks was comepletely bought by E-Mart (a branch of Shinsegae), and the rest 32.5% was bought by a Singaporean investment comapny (GIC).
So oh, Starbucks Korea has no affiliations with the part of Starbucks that sues their worker’s union.
However, I can make the argument that Yunjin could influence others to ignore the boycott and buy Starbucks. Is it true that she has several international fans and alot of impressionable fans? Yes.
But then we have to go back to our first argument; it was a few milliseconds of a low quality video.
And after finding that out, I started to feel like all the people commenting about “starbucks queen💕” and “omg whats your starbucks order?” is the problem.
YOU guys are the one promoting Starbucks at this point. Do you understand?
I’m not saying don’t hold someone accountable, no, but I’m saying the comments aren’t fucking helping.
Don’t get me wrong, I do live in Korea, and I have been actively avoiding purchasing from them because I saw a few posts on twitter referencing it. I based an activity on a twitter post. And wanna know when I figured out WHY I was supposed to boycott exactly?
After I deleted Twitter because of the stress I got from the app.
That’s when I finally found out about the BDS list, found out oh, Puma is on the list, McDonalds is an even bigger problem than Starbucks (directly supplying food to soldiers), HP APPARENTLY SUPPLIES TECH FOR THE ISRAEL GOVERNMENT, and oh wow! Starbucks isn’t even on the list because theres not enough proof that they financially fund Israel.
In conclusion, the people preaching about how Yunjin is a performative activist is such hypocrites themselves
It’s clear that while some of the comments and criticisms are genuine, trying to hold a person accountable, but its also clear that the repeat of the same mocking comments of Yunjin is just performative and for attention and likes.
That’s what pisses me off. People who don’t give a shit about Palestine, and people even if they do support Palestine not even doinng the bare minimum amount of research just having fun mocking (not criticizing) a person when a tiny bit of wrong doing is shown.
Please, go look in the mirror, and i dont like saying this but go touch grass, do your own research, dont base off your whole ideology on a reddit post or a twitter, tumblr post, read different variety of news articles from several companies, and THEN make your decision on a situation. Not only Starbucks, not only on Yunjin, but on several other ones too.
Media literacy. Look it up.

I have been listening to kpop since 2012, and I have loved many groups over the years (I was active in a few fandoms over the past decade or so with varying degrees of interest), but over time (especially this past year) I had to step away from being active in these spaces.
There are many problematic aspects within and outside this industry. From the rampant anti-blackness, cultural appropriation of Black culture, and aestheticization of varying "exotic" cultures in their concepts (side eyes always), and just overall the lack of accountability of these companies whenever idols personally say something (and not because their management tells them to wear something) is so incredibly inflammatory, and I just... it's exhausting. There are exceptions -idols I do genuinely believe are wonderful people based on their energy and how open they've been about certain social issues around the world and in their own country, but I think it's an important reminder that 'kpop' is a business, just like any industry in the world that makes profits for 'selling' something.
And trust, I know kpop is an industry giant -especially in Western markets, and the way many fandoms coddle and rush to the defense of their idols in the same way Swifties, Arianators, and Selenators do -the company PR teams do not have to do much, seldom offer a statement unless without it they wouldn't be able to promote. So this does not surprise me one bit -especially the hundreds of thousands of likes on each respective post.
It's also so frustrating to see this happen because so many Korean people in South Korea have been marching and have participated in spreading awareness about the genocide happening in Historic Palestine -because Korea was also occupied and had experienced brutality and violence by Imperial Japan for decades. It just disgusts me to see something appear like this -and not by coincidence because of the ways the fandoms operate. This was done on purpose -because the image of an idol -which if their are popular, is highly influential. I have seen people on X drop tens of thousands of dollars on designer clothes and items they see them wear, or spend thousands just to get into fan signs or calls... and it's just wild to me. The halo effect and the willful ignorance here is just unacceptable.
Somi's father (the young woman in the first photo) is also a Canadian with Dutch descent, so there is literally no excuse whatsoever. You cannot tell me none of these idols aren't aware of what is going on. It's their greedy and opportunistic companies that do this shit constantly, and a lot of these idols just accept it or simply don't care. And it's despicable.
