McDonald’s Teases BTS TinyTAN Happy Meal, But Not All Fans Are Lovin’ It

McDonald’s is teasing a new BTS-themed Happy Meal featuring TinyTAN collectible figures, set to launch in the U.S. on September 2, 2025. The meal includes a burger or nuggets, fries or apple slices, a drink, and one of seven figures modeled after BTS members. While fans are excited to collect the toys, others have voiced concerns over the group’s renewed association with McDonald’s, citing political controversies and questioning BTS’s direct involvement. Since TinyTAN is managed by HYBE, not the members themselves, the collaboration reflects brand strategy more than personal endorsement. Still, anticipation is high across social media platforms.
