BTS and BT21 background
In late 2025, McDonald’s featured TinyTAN BTS Happy Meal toys. BTS is a South Korean pop group that debuted in 2013 and has become one of the world’s biggest music acts, with members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook. The group has earned global success with chart-topping albums, sold-out tours, and a devoted fanbase known as ARMY.
BT21 is a collection of original animated characters created in collaboration between BTS and LINE FRIENDS. Each BTS member helped design and develop the personality of a unique character inspired by their ideas, while an eighth character, VAN, represents ARMY. Since launching in 2017, BT21 has expanded into a global brand featuring plush toys, apparel, accessories, games, and brand collaborations.
