McDonalds K-Pop Demon Hunters Meal Sparks Fan Frenzy...

McDonald's collaboration with K-pop group "Demon Hunters" has triggered massive crowds at US locations today, with fans lining up for limited-edition meal boxes featuring exclusive merchandise. The April 1 launch coincides with both the group's US tour kickoff and McDonald's push to attract younger demographics through music partnerships.

Social media shows packed restaurants from Los Angeles to New York as collectors seek the special packaging containing randomized photo cards of band members. Some locations reported selling out within hours, while secondary markets already list unopened meal boxes for $50+ on eBay.

The campaign marks McDonald's first K-pop collaboration since 2022's BTS meal, which reportedly boosted sales by 8% that quarter. Industry analysts note the fast food chain's continued focus on Gen Z marketing, with Demon Hunters currently ranking as Spotify's third-most-streamed K-pop act globally.

Fans expressed mixed reactions online, with some praising the affordable merch opportunity while others criticized limited stock allocations. McDonald's confirmed additional shipments will arrive Wednesday but warned supplies remain "extremely limited." The promotion runs through April 15 or while supplies last.
