McDonald’s and KPop Demon Hunters Collaboration Sparks Online Excitement Rumors of a collaboration between McDonald’s and the Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters have ignited widespread excitement online, with fans and netizens expressing enthusiasm over the potential release of a themed meal and Korean-inspired menu items. The speculation centers around an upcoming “Huntr/X meal,” which could feature novelty products tied to the film’s concept. One of the most anticipated items is the “Ramyeon Shaker Fries,” a dish believed to blend Korean flavor profiles inspired by the movie’s cultural themes. While McDonald’s has not officially confirmed the collaboration, the rumors have generated significant buzz on social media. Fans have praised the idea, with one user writing, “That a great collab I can’t wait to watch it.” Another commented, “After snagging 2 Oscars including Best Original Song, HUNTR/X getting their own McDonald’s HUNTR/X meal with Rameyon Shaker Fries? Peak KPop Demon Hunters takeover.” Some users expressed optimism about the potential success of the collab, noting, “Rameyon Shaker Fries? This collab might actually go crazy if they get the flavor right.” However, not all reactions have been positive. Critics have questioned McDonald’s motives, with some accusing the fast-food giant of exploiting nostalgia and brand value for profit. One user remarked, “McDonald’s really out here weaponizing nostalgia with demon hunter fries,” while another criticized the collaboration as a “cash-grab,” stating, “Another cash-grab collab almost a year after release proves KPop Demon Hunters’ ‘cultural phenomenon’ status is mostly corporate nostalgia bait.” The animated musical fantasy film KPop Demon Hunters follows a fictional K-pop girl group called Huntr/X and has become a global phenomenon.#mcdonalds #bts #kpop_demon_hunters #huntr_x #ramyeon_shaker_fries
