McDonald’s is introducing meals in the United States in collaboration with Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters” (2025), featuring Korean-inspired flavors such as ramyeon seasoning and garlic chili sauce.

The menu items will be sold at participating U.S. locations for a limited time starting next Tuesday, the fast food chain said.

The collaboration features two themed meal sets tied to the film’s fictional K-pop groups — the HUNTR/X Meal and the Saja Boys Breakfast Meal — along with collectible photo cards.

In the Academy Award-winning film, superstars HUNTR/X lead double lives as demon hunters protecting their fans from supernatural threats while facing rival boy band Saja Boys.

The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal includes a McMuffin topped with a spicy sauce, along with hash browns.

The HUNTR/X Meal features Chicken McNuggets, Ramyeon McShaker fries flavored with soy, garlic, sesame and spice seasoning, as well as "Hunter" sauce flavored with chili, garlic and pepper and "Demon" mustard sauce.

“With McDonald’s, we were able to turn the rivalry between The Saja Boys and HUNTR/X into something fans can actually experience, drawing inspiration from Korean culture and food traditions that sit at the heart of the film,” Marian Lee, chief marketing officer at Netflix, said.

A promotional video showing HUNTR/X and Saja Boys locked in a fandom war while introducing the menu drew attention online. In one scene, a Saja Boys member's abs turn into hash browns, drawing laughs from fans.

Online users reacted with surprise to the collaboration, with comments such as “I’m surprised McDonald’s chose Saja Boys and HUNTR/X as ad models” and “I thought it was an AI prank.”

Guillaume Huin, McDonald’s marketing director, confirmed on X that the ad "was made in collaboration with all the teams from the original movie."
