EXO‘s Kai has come under fire for his recent post.
Recently, Kai took to a social media platform to share a photo of himself in the practice room, but netizens noticed a Starbucks cup on the floor.
Amid the genocide in Gaza, Starbucks fell under the BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction) list of brands that are being boycotted globally. While Starbucks sent a direct statement to Koreaboo regarding the company’s stance regarding the NCT collaboration, netizens have still voiced their opposition to the company and the promotion of the brand.
After the photo was shared, netizens shared their reactions to the photo.
they way he just left the cup to show the logo 🤣🤣 bro these idols are just spineless and they arent even in a sensitive situation or any shi https://t.co/8XTipmL7ka

We do NOT want #kai #kimjongin or any of your artists to associate or promote Coca-Cola, STARBUCKS, McDonald's, Disney, or any companies that are financing a genocide in PALESTINE."
