First singing day of Starbucks Coffee Korea

The historical and memorial day, first singing day with starbucks and shinsegae, 1997.7, Seoul, South Korea.

My name is Victor Lee(SeungKyo Lee), second person to right side, first line of the picture was deeply impressed by Mission Statement of Starbucks. I had left in 2011 after working for 14 years at Starbucks Korea. What I had been given by Starbucks partners delivered to me something more than experiences.

I wish to share this picture with you and not to forget my first day with Starbucks.

Thanks Starbucks a lot,

Victor Lee

Hello Victor - What a proud moment and milestone for South Korea!! Love this picture of you, HB and the team. I remember being there in 2001 when the market was just open. I felt so proud to see and experience all that the team had done to bring Starbucks to life in Seoul. Your right it was so much more than experiences that Starbucks gave us. Thank you for your story and this picture!! Jennifer
