It's a scandal that just won't go away for Starbucks in South Korea. The chairman of the coffee chain's local corporate majority owner was compelled to issue a second public apology in the wake of the company's disastrous "Tank Day" promotion launched earlier this month.

The campaign was quickly scrapped, but it hasn't quelled public furor.
