Huntrix and the Saja Boys face off again in the real world – this time at a McDonald’s near you.
The Battle for the Fans: HUNTR/X vs. Saja Boys
The Academy Award-Winning film KPop Demon Hunters has dominated music charts, playlists, and TV, movie, and computer screens worldwide. Now, the Kpop idol groups Huntrix and the Saja Boys from the animated film are bringing their supernatural battle for the heart and soul of the fans straight to the Golden Arches.
Starting March 31st, McDonald’s is teaming up with Netflix to turn their restaurants into the ultimate arena for fans. The partnership features two all-new meals for adults and exclusive photocards that will unlock first-access content for a limited time. The campaign will bring flavors from McDonald’s restaurants in South Korea to further connect fans to the film through taste.
“Everything we do at McDonald’s is for the fans, and no one can relate to that more than Netflix and KPop Demon Hunters,” said Alyssa Buetikofer, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s.
“Big things happen when you bring two massive fandoms together, and this partnership was a natural fit. We found authentic ways to unite our iconic worlds – inviting HUNTR/X and Saja Boys fans into the rivalry in ways that feel true to the film and unmistakably McDonald’s.”
