The collaboration comes hot of McDonald’s recent partnerships with celebrity musicians. The chain teamed up with rapper Travis Scott last fall for a meal that featured a Quarter Pounder with cheese, fries and BBQ sauce. Fans loved it so much the chain had a reported ingredient shortage of some of its menu staples.

The chain is continuing to capitalize off of its celebrity partnerships. It’s dropping a line of BTS merch on Wednesday night on the Weverse Shop app with Sweet Chili and Cajun sauce tote bags, hoodies and purple bathrobes, among other items. McDonald's said it will also release a new commercial featuring the brand's new hit single "Butter" a week after it was released.
