Dear Ateez and KQ Entertainment,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request the removal of the recent post featuring a Starbucks cup from your social media platform.
This is because we are currently participating in a boycott of Starbucks due to the ongoing genocide in Palestine. We ask you to remove this as we are taking a stand against supporting companies that are investing in Israel.
We are also aware that some idols are promoting their products. We urge you not to give in to this.
We would also appreciate it if you could prevent this from happening with any of your other idols whether they are in Xikers or Ateez.
It is also requested that you inform your idols about the reasons behind the boycott and urge them not to participate in any promotions or endorsements with Starbucks(it is important to note that they are not directly funding Israel which is why they are not listed on the BDS movement list. They are being boycotted for suing unions and firing employees who stand in solidarity) or any other company associated with investments in Israel. (this includes Mcdonalds, Louis Vuitton, YSL beauty and many others).
May we also add that we are aware that Idols are influential figures and their actions can have a significant impact on their fans and the public. We trust you to take this matter seriously.
Thank you for reading.
