The legions of BTS fans around the world have either bought the BTS Meal from McDonald's in their respective countries or await its release. 


The meal debuted in Greece on May 27, and many fans of the group rushed to buy it. The Greek version of the product has nine Chicken McNuggets, large fries and Coke, and Cajun and sweet chili sauces. I collected photos and opinions of the meal from 10 people abroad.



Anh Bui in Vietnam said a long queue appeared before the store even opened on the day of the meal's release. McDonald's delivery service also crashed for a while due to too many orders, but she got hers. She said she liked the beautiful packaging. 

A user named glossbae93 who also lives in Vietnam said she recommends the meal, especially the purple-colored packaging. She said McDonald's Vietnam sold more than 10,000 of the meals in one day.



An American with the user ID mnmtwinz said the meal has items unavailable outside of Korea. Canadian im_urdaisy from Vancouver lauded the tasty combination of the two sauces and the purple packaging. 


Maria Lappas, a Greek expat in Australia, said she loved the sweet chili sauce, which is popular Down Under, and the Cajun sauce because it was something new and added an extra delicious flavor.



Marialena Ktsk, a Greek expat in Korea, called the meal the "perfect experience" for the group's fans, mentioning the purple balloons and the playing of BTS songs at the branch she visited. Lee Songjee of Korea also gave a thumb's up to the meal.



Yosita in Malaysia bought the meal on its release day in her country, and compatriot Rafie Edruce put the packaging in a frame.



Back in Greece, Nini Iosifidou and Nena Savvoulidou went together to get the meal. Argiro Stefanaki ate it with her family, adding that it changed her negative perception of fast food. Eufimia Skylla kept the paper Coke cup for her collection because it had the BTS logo, and Natia Nemstsveridze put the packaging in a frame.
