BTS Army, assemble. It's official: McDonald's has announced its collaboration with wildly popular K-pop group BTS who gained mainstream recognition with hits like Dynamite and Boy With Luv. The BTS Meal will be released in over 50 countries all over the world in May. The United States is first on the "tour" schedule to try the meal on May 26, along with Malaysia, Canada, Israel and more. The date to start queuing in Singapore is May 27.
If you're expecting something crazy and new on the menu, you might just be surprised. The BTS Meal is pretty straightforward – nine-piece chicken McNuggets, large fries, large drink and a side of sweet chilli and Cajun dipping sauces which are inspired by the McDonald's in South Korea. Simple meal or not, fans have started reacting to the announcement on Twitter.

Although the launch is still a month away, many are anticipating the meals to be in high demand. After all, it's hard to resist 'em McNuggets. According to the band's label Big Hit Music, the band has "great memories with McDonald's". As we do, BTS, as we do.
