McDonald’s is bringing a new kind of meal to Chicago — and with a limited-time treat. <\/p>\n

The world’s largest hamburger chain has announced plans to release a series of “KPop Demon Hunters” meals, with fans set to decide on the Saja Boys vs. HUNTR\/X battle using their taste buds. The release, set to begin on March 31, will also feature new menu items with “flavors from McDonald’s restaurants in South Korea.” <\/p>\n

There will be a new McFlurry and collectible photocards that offer a QR code with early access to “exclusive fan content.”<\/p>\n

\u201cBig 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 \u2014 inviting HUNTR\/X and Saja Boys fans into the rivalry in ways that feel true to the film and unmistakably McDonald\u2019s,” Alyssa Buetikofer, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald\u2019s said in a statement. <\/p>\n

So what exactly will the new meals include? <\/p>\n

Here’s a look: <\/p>\n

Saja Boys Breakfast Meal<\/p>\n

The Saja Boys meal features a “Spicy Saja McMuffin,” described as a “Sausage McMuffin with egg, topped with a peppery Spicy Saja Sauce \u2014 inspired by the fire of Gwi-Ma.”<\/p>\n

The meal also includes hash browns and a small soft drink.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

The HUNTR\/X Meal<\/p>\n

From the Golden Arches to “Golden,” the HUNTR\/X Meal offers a 10-piece chicken McNuggets, soft drink and “three limited-time menu items.” <\/p>\n

Those include “Ramyeon McShaker Fries,” described as a “spicy, umami spin: on McDonald’s traditional fries, with a soy, garlic, sesame and spice seasoning.<\/p>\n

There’s also a sweet chili sauce called “Hunter Sauce” and a mustard sauce called a “Demon Sauce,” which has a purple color to it. <\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

The meals will each come with collectible card packs that include a photocard and a “Derpy access card,” which will “unlock first access to exclusive content and a special reveal of the group that wins the Battle for the Fans.” <\/p>\n

Other new menu items include a “Derpy McFlurry,” which will make its debut as a “brand-new McFlurry flavor” blending vanilla soft serve with “berry popping pearls” and a wild berry sauce.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

The Netflix film, which follows two fictional K-pop bands, HUNTR\/X and Saja Boys, recently took home Oscar<\/a>s for best animated feature and best song, making history as “Golden” became the first Kpop song to win the coveted award.<\/p>\n

The animated blockbuster, produced by Sony Pictures Animation and released by Netflix in June, gave the streaming platform its first No. 1 box-office title when it also rolled out to theaters last year. <\/p>\n

Its plot follows HUNTR\/X members Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong) and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who must keep demons out of the human world through their music.<\/p>\n

The McDonald’s collaboration is the latest international introduction for the Chicago-based chain, which\u00a0most<\/a> recently launched its global Big Arch Burge<\/a>r in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"McDonald’s is bringing a new kind of meal to Chicago — and with a limited-time treat.
