K-pop fans rejoice!
BTS has teamed up with McDonald’s in a deal which will see the band’s favorite meal combo appear on the menu of stores around the world.
McDonald’s celebrity-inspired meals—which takes mostly existing items on the menu and promotes them as a celebrity’s go-to meal—have proven popular.
BTS’ signature order will include a Chicken McNuggets box, medium fries, a medium drink and sweet chili and cajun dipping sauces inspired by recipes from McDonald’s South Korea.
Rapper Travis Scott was McDonald’s first celebrity collaborator, which increasingly became so popular via social media that some restaurants sold out of the ingredients for the meals - in Scott’s case, quarter pounders.
The meal is hitting McDonald’s across the United States, Canada, parts of Europe, and the Caribbean on May 26, 2021. And like any other celebrity-inspired meal, it will only be available for a few weeks.

BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, are also Guinness World Record holders. Their hit song “Dynamite” remained No.1 on the Digital Song Sales Playlists for the most weeks while also spending the maximum amount of time on the US Hot 100.
Two. More. BTS. Records. Dynamite continues to make history, nearly eight months after it's initial release! 👀 ✅… https://t.co/ig1NFIXFMT— Guinness World Records (@Guinness World Records) 1618561486
