Popular coffee shop opens near heavily militarized North Korea border

Customers sip on their favorite beverages on Nov. 29, 2024 at a Starbucks cafe with an unusual view — of the heavily militarized North Korea border. Many customers took pictures of the Starbucks logo on their mugs against a backdrop of the territory in the north, while Gimpo Mayor Kim Byung-soo said the new riverbank cafe would revamp the location into an important tourist destination. The world's last Cold War frontier has become an unlikely draw for foreign and local tourists, despite a spike in tensions on the Korean peninsula in recent years. The two Koreas are still technically at war after their 1950-53 war ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty.
