Netflix and McDonald’s collaborated to bring Korean food traditions to American fast food. According to McDonald’s CMO Alyssa Buetikofer, this partnership celebrates authentic ways to unite fandoms. The Ramyeon fries specifically honor South Korean culinary culture, connecting viewers to the film’s origins 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. Big things happen when you bring two massive fandoms together.”

The Derpy McFlurry Makes Its Debut
The new Derpy McFlurry joins the lineup as a sweet complement. Berry-popping pearls swirl through vanilla soft serve, topped with wild berry sauce for a playful taste experience. Named after the film’s lovable tiger character, this flavor captures the joy of Derpy’s mischievous personality. The McFlurry represents McDonald’s commitment to bringing every character element to life beyond just the meals.
Limited availability means this flavor won’t stick around forever. Fans report that the promotional window extends through spring, but exact end dates vary by location. McDonald’s has not announced a widespread extension, making now the time to experience the battle.
Will You Pick a Side and Complete Your Collection?
The Huntrix McDonald’s meal succeeds because it transforms snacking into fandom participation. Photo cards create urgency, sauces tell story, and competing teams spark debate. Whether you’re a dedicated K-pop fan or simply curious about Korean flavors at McDonald’s, this collaboration offers something beyond the usual fast-food experience.
April 26 is the code-scanning deadline, meaning collectors have limited time to unlock exclusive reveals. Early reports suggest certain card designs are rarer than others. The question becomes: Can you complete your full set before the promotion ends, or will you hunt for specific designs through trades with fellow fans?
