LE SSERAFIM’s Huh Yun-jin Criticized For Drinking Starbucks

Recently, articles titled “LE SSERAFIM’s Huh Yun-jin is currently being attacked for drinking Starbucks coffee,” have spread through various online communities.

Some overseas fans of LE SSERAFIM are flooding to Huh Yun-jin’s Instagram after a photo of her drinking Starbucks was posted. These fans are leaving comments such as “Why are you drinking Starbucks when you can drink coffee of other brands?” “I’m really disappointed,” and “Please stop buying Starbucks.“

This criticism is related to the recent outbreak of the Israel-Gaza war. Starbucks suffered from a boycott in the wake of the controversy over the Gaza war in October last year. Since the Gaza War, there have been widespread claims that Starbucks supports Israel and funds the Israeli government and the Israeli military. Starbucks continued to provide explanations in a lengthy statement in October last year that this information was untrue, but failed to quell the boycott in various regions. Overseas fans are emphasizing that stars should not drink Starbucks’ coffee as it was designated as a pro-Israel company.

Even now, fans are coming to Huh’s SNS to post comments saying, “I really like you, but I don’t want you to drink Starbucks coffee.”

Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM is currently promoting its third mini album “EASY.” The group will become the only K-pop girl group to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the largest music festival in the United States, on April 13 and on April 20 (local time).
