McDonald’s Launches ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Meals Nationwide

The tie‑in turns the movie’s on‑screen rivalry into an interactive promotion that culminates in an April 26 app reveal.

Overview

  • Fans can order the two limited‑time adult meals and a Derpy McFlurry at U.S. restaurants starting Tuesday, March 31, in a nationwide rollout.
  • The HUNTR/X Meal features 10 McNuggets, Ramyeon McShaker Fries seasoned like Korean ramyeon, and two new dips called Hunter Sauce and purple Demon Sauce, while the Saja Boys Breakfast Meal is a Spicy Saja McMuffin combo served only in the morning.
  • Each purchase includes a photocard pack and a Derpy access card whose QR code and unique code must be entered in the McDonald’s app by April 26 to unlock exclusive content and the “Battle for the Fans” result.
  • New animated ads support the launch and spotlight Huntr/x and the Saja Boys with the original voice actors, extending the story outside the film.
  • The film won Oscars for best animated feature and best original song, a sequel is in development, and a restaurant analyst told MarketWatch the meals could generate about $100 million within days of launch.
