McDonald’s is continuing its
themed adult-meal trend with a new K-pop collab.
The golden arches, in partnership with Netflix, is rolling out two new grown-up meal deals beginning March 31 based on the Academy
Award-winning animated hit film “KPop Demon Hunters.”
The partnership was probably inspired by the success of The Grinch Meal from December 2025, which contributed the
chain’s best quarterly U.S. same-store sales in more than two years.
For the new “KPop Demon Hunters” deal customers can choose from either a Saja Boys or Huntr/X meal, each
representing the film’s rival characters. The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal includes a new Spicy Saja McMuffin, which is topped with a Spicy Saja sauce and hash browns.
The Huntr/X Meal
contains a 10-pc. Chicken McNuggets, medium soft drink as well as three limited-time themed menu items. Included are the Ramyeon McShaker Fries, which are described as having a “spicy, umami
spin” influenced by South Korean flavors with a soy, garlic, sesame and spice seasoning blend. Also included are two new South Korean-inspired sauces: the Hunter Sauce, which is a sweet chili
sauce with “notes of chili, garlic and pepper with just enough heat,” and the purple-hued Demon Sauce, a “bold mustard sauce with heat and tang.”

“Big things
happen when you bring two massive fandoms together, and this partnership was a natural fit. We found authentic ways to unite our iconic worlds — inviting Huntr/X and Saja Boys fans
into the rivalry in ways that feel true to the film,” said Alyssa Buetikofer, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald's, in a press release.
Also included with both
meals are Huntr/X and Saja Boys-themed collectible packs of photocards, containing a QR code granting access to exclusive content as well.
There’s also the Derpy McFlurry, named after
the film’s Derpy Tiger, which contains vanilla soft serve with berry-popping pearls and wild berry sauce.
