Meh. Boycotts only matter to the extent that they impact the group financially. Are these "millions of fans" the ones actually throwing money at the group? Or was their support of NCT as performative as their support of these other causes?

Nailed it, I highly doubt even a tiny fraction of profits these guys made from those fans cuts in to the money Starbucks paid them.
