In an official statement published by PR Newswire on April 19, 2021, Morgan Flatley, Chief Marketing Officer, McDonald’s USA, also had encouraging things to say about the boy-band sensation, who continue to make headlines around the world with their mainstream success.
BTS truly lights up the world stage, uniting people all across the globe through their music.
He further explained that when the BTS signature order debuts on their menu next month, they are excited to get customers even closer to their favorite band in a way that only McDonald’s can—through their delicious food.
McDonald’s Previous Collaborations with Artists Were Successful
It is not the first time that the multinational food company has collaborated with celebrities. McDonald’s has previously partnered with artists such as Travis Scott and J Balvin on unforgettable meals that have proven to be their best-selling items.
The Scott partnership was credited with boosting revenue in September 2020. McDonald’s claims that the meals together drove profits in the second half of the year.

With the fast-food chain bringing in enormous amounts of money from its unique celebrity meals in the past year, a BTS collaboration seems to be a guaranteed win. If the “Travis Scott Fortnite Burger” (Travis Scott meal) caused such a stir, one can only imagine the mayhem that awaits on May 26.
BTS has over 34.6 million followers on Twitter, 40 million on Instagram, and 31.8 million on TikTok. The young K-pop group was also the best-selling act of 2020, according to BBC News.
