News that NCT would be having a collaboration with Starbucks went viral on Twitter recently. K-Pop collaborations with the coffee chain are not new — the brand has previously collaborated with BLACKPINK and BTS.

Tweets with the alleged merchandise have been going viral. Although no one knows where the source comes from, it seems like the brand will be releasing a series of keychains based on the members, amongst other goods. This includes a concert bag, stirrers, photocard holders, and keyrings.

Some Korean fans on Twitter have hinted that the collaboration would be released on May 30, 2024.

Although the news has not been spread through the group’s online socials, international fans have already begun to warn the company that they would be boycotting it.

Fans have already begun spamming tags.

The potential collaboration comes at a bad time, where many are boycotting the brand due to it failing to support their workers’ union. Although many on social media believe that Starbucks has funded the genocide against Palestine, it is not the case. Starbucks Workers United originally put out a statement to support Palestine. After facing damage with people calling them anti-Semitic, Starbucks asked the union to take the statement down as many associated the workers’ union with the brand itself. Starbucks eventually sued for copyright infringement to get the statement taken down, leading people to believe that Starbucks was anti-Palestine. Despite this, the brand has not outrightly offered support for Palestine either.
