McDonald’s has its sights set on the next major celebrity-backed meal. In an attempt to recreate the smashing successes of last year’s partnerships with Travis Scott and J Balvin, the burger chain is turning to today’s biggest musical act: BTS.

The globally renowned, Grammy-nominated K-pop group will be teaming up with the Golden Arches for The BTS Meal, which will consist of 10 chicken McNuggets, medium fries and a medium Coke. The customized touch that will set this combo apart from other similarly outfitted meals lies in the duo sauces: sweet chili and Cajun.
