McDonald’s ‘BTS Meal’ has made a touchdown in India, albeit for a limited time.

The American fast food giant has collaborated with global pop icons, BTS from South Korea, for a meal of 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium fries, coke, and sweet chili and Cajun dipping sauces. The meal is inspired by popular recipes from McDonald’s South Korea that has been dubbed the ‘BTS Meal’.

This one-of-a-kind menu “tour” will arrive in North and East India on June 1, and South and West India on June 4. You will be able to order the BTS Meal through McDonald’s app, in-store, at the drive thru, or via McDelivery (wherever allowed by the local authorities). The meal will be available in North and East India until June 30.

“The band has great memories with McDonald’s. We’re excited about this collaboration and can’t wait to share the BTS Meal with the world,” said Big Hit Music, BTS’s label.

“No matter who you are, everyone has a go-to order at McDonald’s – even international superstars like BTS,” said Rajeev Ranjan, chief operating officer, McDonald’s India – North and East. Connaught Plaza Restaurants operates McDonald’s restaurants in North and East India.

“This band is truly a global phenomenon, with a fan base that knows no borders, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring the BTS Meal to our customers in India,” added Ranjan.

This meal comes within two weeks of BTS releasing its new English language single ‘Butter’.

Over in the United States, McDonald’s and BTS will drop a merch line on the Weverse Shop app. This head-to-toe collection is inspired by some of the craveable, hand-picked menu items from the BTS Meal, with dynamite threads like hoodies, purple bathrobes, socks and sandals.
