If it were a different company, I'd get over it by now, but Shinsegae has all this backstory built up...

Karma, I guess. Corporate leaders need to act on their convictions, not politicians.
Isn't that conviction?
That IS conviction lol. Politicians need to stay neutral, but does that mean you think yelling anti-communist stuff is weird? Your ideology's the one that's off lol
That IS conviction lol
Has conviction: supports Tank Day and catches heat. No conviction: erases anti-communist messaging and tucks tail. That's the contradiction.
If they had real conviction, they'd still be yelling anti-communist slogans. But they folded, so they were never gonna stand by it anyway. Never should've started in the first place lol
LMAO not the CEO catching strays on the internet π bro can't catch a break
Wait why is this guy constantly in drama?? Just saw him trending like 3 times this month
So Yoon Seo-in isn't just hanging with them for nothingβlooks like he got invited to their events too
Owner risk lol. Too busy doing PR stunts to worry about consistency
Didn't everyone call him "Yong-jin-gay" when he first popped off? There's a reason for that.
honestly respect the commitment to the bit at this point, mans is basically a meme at this rate π
The weird way people have a meltdown over the word anti-communist...
When some internet personality says anti-communist (excluding China of course), regular people lose it
Should've written it out properly as "anti-communist (except the CCP)" lol
The problem isn't the word itselfβit's that they do the whole "too much talk gets you labeled communist" thing THEN throw in anti-communist slogans and catch heat. But illiterates don't understand nuance.
They yell anti-communist while exempting China from military service, sell products yelling anti-communist while most are made in China, AND set up joint ventures with Alibaba while anti-communisting? That's just pure audacity lol
lol the funny part is how our version of anti-communist always excludes China anyway
Isn't the problem this Korean-style anti-communism? Sir information officer?
Posting stuff like this gets you called a politics-gamer on the politics board lol
But seeing Starbucks form vigilante squads like Uniqlo did and 140+ civic groups going crazy... it does feel excessive though
But the victims' families are still alive and well, and lots of people remember... so I get it.
The vigilante stuff is excessive, but regular people's criticism is fair
No but you gotta look at this separately. Don't have interest in politics or something? This feels like overkill. That whole Uniqlo thing was people taking pics going into the store? It's the same loop.
Yeah
Oh, you do politics board stuff
Ugh
Would've been better to stick to it all the wayβeven if it tanked the company, at least you could respect it as unwavering conviction. But this anti-communist stuff that bows to the CCP? That's not conviction.
Why'd they even invite him lol. Seriously.
They've always been pretty fond of him anyway. Just gotta see them as people with the same ideology.
