After finding major success through streaming, music, and fan demand, KPop Demon Hunters is now expanding into a new collaboration with McDonald’s. Starting on March 31, 2026, the fast food company will release two new adult meals inspired by the fictional groups HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys from the Netflix film. For the campaign, McDonald’s and Netflix are presenting it as a rivalry between the two groups, encouraging customers to choose one of the groups and take part in the competition through special themed meals.
The meals will include flavors inspired by McDonald’s restaurants in South Korea, along with exclusive photo cards. These cards will give fans access to additional content. Customers can scan the QR code on each Derpy card and enter the unique code in the McDonald’s App by April 26, 2026, to unlock exclusive content and a special reveal connected to the group that wins the “Battle for the Fans.” In addition, A Derpy McFlurry will also be sold separately, with a recipe combining vanilla soft serve, berry popping pearls, and wild berry sauce, adding another themed item to the campaign.
The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal includes:
- Spicy Saja McMuffin – A sausage egg McMuffin topped with a peppery Spicy Saja Sauce; inspired by the fire of Gwi-Ma.
- Hash Browns.
- Small Soft Drink.
- Exclusive Saja Boys Photo Card with Derby Access Card.
The HUNTR/X Meal includes:
- 10-piece Chicken McNuggets
- Ramyeon McShaker Fries – A spicy, umami spin on French fires featuring a soy, garlic, sesame and spice seasoning; inspired by Rumi, Mira and Zoey’s go-to snack.
- Hunter Sauce – A sweet chili sauce mixing notes of chili, garlic and pepper with just enough heat.
- Demon Sauce – A bold, purple mustard sauce with heat and tang.
- Medium Soft Drink.
- Exclusive HUNTR/X Photo Card with Derby Access Card.
This collaboration builds on the major popularity and cultural impact of KPop Demon Hunters. In the story, Korean pop stars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey secretly work as demon hunters while protecting their fans from supernatural entities. Their biggest threat comes from a rival boy band that is made up of demons in disguise, called the Saja Boys. The animated musical premiered on Netflix in June 2025 and later became the platform’s most-watched original title, reaching more than 325 million views, and its main single, “Golden,” became one of 2025’s hit singles. The film also won two Oscars, including Animated Feature Film and Original Song for “Golden.” A sequel is now in development with Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans returning as writers and directors.
