McDonald’s announced a new collaboration with Netflix’s hit movie KPop Demon Hunters on Tuesday, March 24. The collaboration includes meals inspired by the film’s rival KPop groups, HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys, and a brand-new McFlurry.
“Everything we do at McDonald’s is for the fans, and no one can relate to that more than Netflix and KPop Demon Hunters,” Alyssa Buetikofer, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s, said in the press release. “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 and unmistakably McDonald’s.”
The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal is centered around the Spicy Saja McMuffin, and comes with hash browns and “Soda Pop” — a small soft drink. The HUNTR/X Meal includes 10-pc. Chicken McNuggets, medium soft drink and “three limited-time menu items,” per the press release.
The imited-time menu items also includes the Ramyeon McShaker Fries, described as “A spicy, umami spin on our World Famous Fries featuring a soy, garlic, sesame and spice seasoning inspired by Rumi, Mira and Zoey’s go-to snack” in the movie.
“Sprinkle the seasoning into the McShaker bag, add fries, and shake for a bold taste that’s true to South Korean flavors,” the press release says of the new McShaker fries.
The fries come with Hunter Sauce, described as “A sweet chili sauce mixing notes of chili, garlic and pepper with just enough heat inspired by HUNTR/X’s fierce, yet fun-loving personalities,” and Demon Sauce, “A bold mustard sauce with heat and tang — made purple, just like demon patterns.”
The KPop Demon Hunters and McDonald’s collaboration also includes the brand-new Derpy McFlurry, “available a la carte,” which “blends creamy vanilla soft serve with berry popping pearls, enrobed in a wild berry sauce.”

“KPop Demon Hunters has ignited an incredibly passionate global fandom, and we’re always looking for authentic ways to bring fans deeper into the worlds they love,” Marian Lee, Chief Marketing Officer, Netflix said in the press release. “With McDonald’s, we were able to turn the rivalry between The Saja Boys and HUNTR/X into something fans can actually experience, drawing inspiration from Korean culture and food traditions that sit at the heart of the film. From Ramyeon McShaker Fries to Demon sauces paired with Soda Pop, every detail was designed to feel like it could have come straight out of a scene in the movie.”
