Get ready to pull up to the nearest McDonald’s drive-thru, ARMY! The BTS Meal could be making a comeback
soon. Last summer, BTS and McDonald’s teamed up to create the BTS Meal, as part of the restaurant’s Famous Orders initiative. Although the packaging varied by location, each meal consisted of a medium Coca-Cola, medium fries, and McNuggets with Sweet Chili and Cajun dipping sauces. The demand for the BTS Meal was so intense that it
caused over a dozen restaurants to shut down in Indonesia. Fans collected the meal’s purple packaging like merch, along with the official BTS x McDonald’s HYBE MERCH clothing that included T-shirts, sweatshirts, socks, and more. On Twitter, McDonald’s hyped BTS’s PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LAS VEGAS concert on April 8… get in, besties… we’re going to vegas 💜 it’s time to see BTS again at #PTD_ON_STAGE_LV — McDonald's (@McDonalds) April 8, 2022 …and brought back these BTS x McDonald’s merch characters on April 15.
Now, the restaurant-turned-stan-account has dropped a cryptic tweet that hints at a comeback.
Could it be the “BTS Meal”?
The “BTS Meal” launched in May 2021, and BTS is making their comeback on June 10 this year. In other words, the timing couldn’t be better for the BTS Meal to return! BTS’s J-Hope | @mcdonalds/TwitterPlease, let there be photocards this time!
On April 21st, the successful collaboration of BTS and McDonald’s was once again a topic of conversation among fans, after the fast food company issued an update on social networks. This fact has sparked various theories about a possible return. The superstar inspired menu rocked McDonald’s in more than 50 countries around the world between May and June 2021, when the campaign was available. Thanks to this collaboration, the company increased its worldwide sales. In South Korea alone, more than 1.2 million dollars in combo orders were registered.
The official McDonald’s Twitter account hinted at the return of ‘something’ in an update on April 21st. An ARMY user replied to the post by writing:

Although they did not give any further comments on the matter and BIGHIT has not commented, fans of the famous Koreans took these messages as a sign that there will be a BTS Meal in 2022. Due to the proximity of this alleged spoiler with the comeback of the idols and the anniversary of the debut, some more enthusiasts were encouraged to postulate that the return of the Bangtan menu could be related to these two important dates, scheduled for June 10th and 13th, respectively. |
