FTC chief says no probe planned for Starbucks

Ju Biung-ghi, chairman of the Fair Trade Commission, attends a press conference at the government complex in Sejong, central South Korea, on May 27, 2026. The antitrust watchdog has no grounds to investigate Starbucks Korea over the coffee chain's controversial marketing campaign allegedly mocking the 1980s democracy movement, though it would be a "serious" issue if done intentionally, Ju said.
