The One and Only

Starbucks can be found everywhere in Korea and they are increasingly popular here... There are at least five Starbucks coffee shop in Sinchon, the place where i live now... BUT Starbucks in Insadong is the only branch in the world whose main sign is written in Hanguel... The residents in Insadong protested against the new Starbucks in order to preserve Insadong traditional atmosphere... Eventually Starbucks changed the logo into korean characters which pronounced like "Se-Tha-Bok-Se-Kho-Pi".... which originally is Starbucks Coffee...
