Pick Your Bias: McDonald’s KPop Demon Hunters Collaboration Brings the “Battle for the Fans” to Your Tray
Get ready to trade your lightsticks for nugget boxes! McDonald’s KPop Demon Hunters collaboration is officially turning the Golden Arches into a K-pop arena. In a blockbuster partnership with Netflix, the fast-food giant is launching two limited-edition “adult meals” inspired by the Oscar-winning animated film KPop Demon Hunters. Whether you’re craving a breakfast showdown or a late-night snack attack, this collab is designed to make every fan feel like a VIP.
Dueling Menus: Saja Boys vs. HUNTR/X
The rivalry between the fierce girl group HUNTR/X and their demon-in-disguise rivals, the Saja Boys, is no longer confined to the screen. McDonald’s is asking fans to “pick a side” through two distinct meal sets featuring flavors straight from South Korean locations.
For the early birds, the Saja Boys Breakfast Meal features a Spicy Saja McMuffin with a peppery sauce inspired by the film’s “Gwi-Ma” fire. But the real buzz online? A promotional video where a Saja Boys member’s abs literally transform into golden hash browns—a moment so absurdly “K-pop” that fans thought it was an AI prank.
Meanwhile, the HUNTR/X Meal takes center stage for the rest of the day. This set includes 10-piece Chicken McNuggets paired with the much-anticipated Ramyeon McShaker Fries. To top it off, you get two signature dipping options: the sweet and garlicky “Hunter Sauce” and the bold, purple-hued “Demon Sauce.”
Photocards and Exclusive Digital Drops
It wouldn’t be a true K-pop experience without the merch. Each McDonald’s KPop Demon Hunters meal comes with a collectible card pack. Inside, you’ll find an exclusive photocard of your favorite group and a “Derpy access card.” Scanning the QR code on the back unlocks first-access content and allows fans to participate in the “Battle for the Fans” to see which group reigns supreme.
For those with a sweet tooth, don’t miss the Derpy Tiger McFlurry, featuring a wild berry sauce and popping pearls that mirror the vibrant energy of the film.
Why This Collaboration is “Golden”
“Big things happen when you bring two massive fandoms together,” says Alyssa Buetikofer, McDonald’s Chief Marketing Officer. By blending authentic Korean flavors like soy, garlic, and sesame with the high-stakes world of demon-hunting idols, this partnership bridges the gap between entertainment and reality.
The limited-time menu officially drops on March 31 at participating U.S. locations. So, are you ready to stan your meal? Grab your photocards before they’re gone—because in the world of McDonald’s KPop Demon Hunters, only the hungriest fans survive!
