McDonald’s has launched a S$4.15 ‘BTS TinyTAN Happy Meal’, and I got to try it first in South Korea

I’m sure you’ve read it in the news/social media sometime last month about McDonald’s launching a ‘BTS TinyTAN Happy Meal’.

It was on CNA too:

Yeah, Singapore is included, but when I last checked the social media pages, the exact launch date is not out yet.

Anyway, lucky me got to try it in South Korea.

The happy meal box is selling for 4,500 KRW in stores, which is approx. S$4.15 based on the exchange rate at the time of writing.

I had it delivered to me because your girl is sick and staying indoors to rest.

TADA!

I wanted to do a write-up in the morning as soon as it launched at 4 am today (11 September 2025), but I was so sick I slept in till 2 pm…

Also Googled and saw in the news that the BTS TinyTAN collectibles were already sold out in most outlets in Seoul, so I was really praying that I could still get my hands on them.

And guess what?!

I got them!

I’m not even an ARMY, but aren’t these adorable?

Here’s another side of the box.

Two sides are in purple and two sides are in red.

The launch today is apparently a ‘throwback edition’ as shown on the purple sides.

The other launch, named ‘encore edition’, will be launched from Thursday, 2 October 2025, as revealed by McDonald’s Korea.

Let’s take a look inside.

I bought two sets and requested Jimin and V.

Delivery’s collectibles may be random, but I took a chance and wrote in the comments section that I wanted Jimin and V, and the kind staff has packed them for me.

Omg, thank you, whoever you are

Pardon me in my PJs, still feeling under the weather but putting work first :p

I’ll show you where the QR code scan leads to so stay till the end!

Made in China, but what’s new?

The collectible came wrapped like this, and there’s also a photocard.

Jimin looks like a baby here, heh.

V’s collectible also came wrapped like this, but I was a little upset that the photocard was not in its best condition (see top right).

A closer look.

Their heads can be turned, so here’s a view from the right.

And here’s the back view.

In all honesty, I was quite bothered by V’s hand being dyed blue, though…

Jimin’s bottom plate had black stains too…

But overall, it’s still cute when viewed from afar.

And as promised, there’s a game you can play when you scan the QR code.

After tapping the yellow button to start…

You will get to this page.

Let me translate it for easy reading:

Again, press the yellow button to continue.

You will get to see a short video introducing the BTS TinyTAN characters:

RM gets his solo shot, heh.

Again, press the yellow button!

You can choose from two songs to start playing.

I chose the first one!

There’s a short tutorial before the actual game begins.

And… that’s about it!

Haha, and for those curious about the happy meal, it’s nothing much.

I got the cheeseburger, bulgogi burger, and selected orange juice as my drinks.

Not sure when Singapore’s launch will be, but the current ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Hello Kitty And Friends’ Happy Meal collab will end on Wednesday, 24 September 2025, so maybe the ‘BTS TinyTAN Happy Meal’ will launch on Thursday, 25 September 2025?

Stay patient, Singapore ARMY
