McDonald’s Brings Back BTS Magic with TinyTAN Happy Meal
K-pop fans have a new reason to celebrate as McDonald’s releases the BTS TinyTAN Happy Meal, featuring toys inspired by the world-famous South Korean boy band. The fast-food giant announced the release of this special meal on September 3, giving ARMYs (BTS fans) the chance to collect unique TinyTAN character toys.
This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has partnered with BTS. In 2021, the brand created the popular BTS Meal, which was a massive global success. Now, with the TinyTAN Happy Meal, the excitement is even bigger.
Two Editions of BTS TinyTAN Happy Meal
McDonald’s has introduced two different editions of the BTS TinyTAN Happy Meal, each with its own release date and collectible toys.

| Encore Edition | September 23, 2025 | Toys in outfits inspired by the latest BTS x McDonald’s collaboration |
Both editions highlight all seven BTS members – Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook – transformed into adorable TinyTAN characters.
How to Get the BTS TinyTAN Happy Meal
The BTS TinyTAN Happy Meal is available in nearly 70 countries, including the United States. Customers can order it:
