Starbucks donated 150 chairs worth 12 million won ($10,738) to the palace to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the public lecture the coffeehouse chain sponsors. Since 2009, over 70 prominent figures have delivered lectures to 20,000 people at the first European architecture ever built in a royal palace. / Courtesy of Starbucks Coffee Korea
