Stay safe while getting your “BTS Meal”
We know, we know, ARMYs. You’ve spent the past months watching people enjoying their BTS-themed McDonald’s meals while pretending not to be jealous, so this announcement practically makes you want to run over to the nearest outlet.
However, it’s important to note that while the K-pop bands’ ballads may be worthy of a Magic Shop, their McDonald’s meals can’t guarantee protection from Covid-19.
So, when heading over to purchase your long-awaited “BTS Meal”, be sure to wear your mask and practice social distancing. That way, you’ll be in tip-top health for the next tour.
