Starbucks has now become a cafe easily found in major cities around the world. In Korea, after the first branch opened in Ewha Womans University, there was controversy surrounding the term “Doenjang Nyeo” (a term referring to a woman who enjoys fermented soybean paste stew), but now it has become a cafe as easily accessible as convenience stores.

You can also find Starbucks branches in Yeonhui-dong, with two locations in the area. One is a bit south of Yeonhui Intersection, and the other is a bit northeast from Yeonhui Intersection. One of them has a drive-thru option, while the other does not.
