IdolK-popJeon Somi received a lot of ridicule after uploading a video of herself doing make-up. However, the problem is not the make up, but the Starbucks tumbler in the video.

“This is he who is stupid or doesn’t really understand the current situation, he can’t give empathy,” wrote another netizen.
“Starbucks? “Why is there no empathy at all, when K-pop idols are like this,” commented another account.
