What the BTS McDonald’s Meal Menu Would Look Like if ARMY Designed The Menu

As soon as McDonald’s announced their collaboration with global superstars BTS, the internet exploded in excitement. ARMYs, the ever-passionate and wildly imaginative fandom, immediately took to social media platforms to speculate, dream, and design what the ultimate BTS Meal should include. With hashtags trending worldwide and countless fan art, mock-ups, and suggestions flooding timelines, one thing became abundantly clear: this isn’t just a meal, it’s a cultural moment.

The collaboration follows in the footsteps of past celebrity meals like those of Travis Scott and J Balvin, but ARMYs are determined to make this one-of-a-kind. For fans, it’s not just about the food, it’s about feeling connected to the group that has inspired millions across the globe. Naturally, the creative juices began flowing instantly.

At the top of the fandom’s wishlist? Photocards. ARMYs have made it known that no BTS Meal is complete without exclusive photocards of all seven members, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. Many have even suggested randomized photocards in each meal, encouraging fans to trade or collect the full set, much like official album merch. Limited edition packaging featuring BTS’s artwork, logos, or even hand-drawn doodles by the members would only add to the collectible appeal.

But what about the food itself?

Here’s where the fandom’s unmatched creativity shines. Drawing inspiration from BTS’s iconic discography, fans have curated a fantasy menu that’s equal parts delicious and deeply personal to the group. From snacks named after hit songs to sauces inspired by lyrics, here’s a rundown of the most beloved fan-suggested items:

Dynamite Donuts
A nod to the group’s record-smashing English single, these would be colorful, sprinkle-covered donuts with a variety of fillings, chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, symbolizing BTS’s diverse flavors as artists.
Butter Burger
Taking inspiration from the slick and smooth summer anthem, this burger would be all about rich, melty cheese, a pat of creamy butter on the patty, and a soft, golden bun. Fans even suggested a “smooth like butter” sauce—perhaps a sweet honey mustard with a hint of spice.
Purple Fries
No ARMY-themed meal would be complete without the color purple, a hue synonymous with the phrase “I Purple You” coined by V (Kim Taehyung). Purple sweet potato fries or regular fries with a lavender-colored dipping sauce (perhaps taro or ube-flavored) are top contenders.
Jimin’s Mochi Nuggets
Inspired by Jimin’s adorable nickname “Mochi,” fans suggested bite-sized nuggets coated in a sticky-sweet glaze, blending Korean flavors like gochujang with a honey twist. Perfectly cute, perfectly spicy, just like Jimin.
SUGA’s Sweet & Spicy Sauce
SUGA is known for his cool, collected persona with a fiery edge, and fans believe a dipping sauce that starts sweet and ends with a kick would be a fitting tribute. Ideal for those who like their food with an extra dose of personality.
Jungkookie Shake
A creamy, cookie-and-cream milkshake in honor of the youngest member. ARMYs are particularly fond of the idea of customizable shake toppers, with Jungkook’s iconic bunny drawing etched onto whipped cream disks.
Hope World Sundae
An explosion of color and flavor, this dessert would be named after j-hope’s mixtape Hope World. Think fruity syrups, rainbow sprinkles, and layers of colorful jellies, a visual and tasty tribute to hobi’s vibrant energy.
Map of the Meal
A fan-created pun on BTS’s Map of the Soul album series, this combo would let customers “discover” their ideal meal by selecting items from each category: appetizer, main, drink, and dessert. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure menu celebrating each member’s style.

Of course, every meal would come in exclusive BTS-themed packaging. Fans imagine sleek purple boxes, napkins with BTS logos, and cups bearing iconic lyrics or doodles from the group. Some have even proposed a QR code printed on each box that leads to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, messages from the members, or unreleased dance practice videos.

McDonald’s hasn’t revealed all the details yet, but one thing’s for sure: ARMYs are ready. Whether it’s for the food, the merch, or just the chance to feel closer to their favorite group, fans will be lining up (or logging in) the moment the BTS Meal drops. Until then, the internet will continue to buzz with excitement, mock menus, and heartfelt dreams of nuggets, photocards, and purple fries.
