McDonald’s recent collaboration with BTS has caused quite a stir, especially with the launch of the highly anticipated BTS Meal on Wednesday, May 26. This collaboration, which coincides with BTS’s record-breaking single “Butter,” has sent fans and fast-food enthusiasts alike into a frenzy. The meal features a specially curated selection of McDonald’s menu items, including 10-piece Chicken McNuggets paired with two unique dipping sauces: Sweet Chili and Cajun, inspired by the BTS members’ Korean heritage.
The meal has been a worldwide sensation, drawing attention not only from ARMY but from general foodies and social media users.
However, as with any viral trend, there’s always room for some humor and drama, and in this case, it came in the form of a TikTok video that’s gone viral. In the clip, a man is seen frustrated after receiving what he humorously dubs his “McJimin”a reference to Jimin, one of the members of BTS. The man comically complains that his meal didn’t live up to his expectations, particularly in terms of the colors and the overall presentation. “I just got my McJimin, I’m mad as hell. Why my McJimin don’t look like BTS? Where the lil colors and shit? I’m mad as hell. They forgot my straw too man. shit,” he says in the video.
As expected, the video quickly went viral across both TikTok and Twitter, generating tons of reactions from fans and casual viewers alike. The hashtag #McJimin has since taken over, with over 13K tweets circulating online. While the video’s creator is clearly joking, the clip has sparked a humorous conversation among BTS fans and others who are equally amused by the man’s frustration over a fast food order that didn’t meet his BTS-themed expectations.
People on social media, especially Twitter, have joined in on the fun by posting memes, reactions, and some good-natured trolling of McDonald’s for the meal’s supposed “missed mark.” Some users have even joked about the idea of a McJimin meal becoming a new trend complete with a BTS-inspired packaging, more colors, and perhaps even a bonus BTS collectible. The whole “McJimin” situation has turned into a playful moment for the fandom, showing just how deep BTS’s influence runs and how quickly fans can turn something funny into a massive trend.
The #BTSMeal trend itself has been met with massive excitement. McDonald’s locations worldwide have seen long lines, with ARMY flocking to get their hands on the BTS-themed meal, hoping to be part of the excitement. Many fans have been sharing photos of their BTS Meal experience online, some proudly showing off their colorful dipping sauces and nuggets, while others have taken a more humorous approach by engaging with the McJimin trend.
Even though the McJimin video was meant to be funny and lighthearted, it shows just how much cultural influence BTS and their fandom, ARMY, have. From chart-topping music to collaborating with some of the biggest global brands, BTS continues to capture the world’s attention in unexpected ways. Whether it’s a viral TikTok or a special McDonald’s meal, the connection between BTS and their fans is undeniable, and as always, ARMY is more than ready to have a little fun along the way.
In conclusion, the #McJimin trend is just another example of how BTS’s influence is everywhere from music to social media to fast food. As for the man in the viral video, it seems like he’s just one of many who are a little too invested in the details of their BTS Meal experience, proving once again that when it comes to BTS, nothing is ever just a typical collaboration it’s a full-blown cultural moment.
