McDonald's Goes K-Pop Demon Hunting: Meals Inspired By Oscar-Winning Film

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.
