Since its launch on June 18, nearly a million "BTS Meal" units were sold in total. The managing director added that they were so surprised and that it was phenomenal. "We really painted the town purple," said Margot Torres.

Margot Torres also noted that the packaging was critical in the mega fast food chain's increase in sales, aside from the meal inclusions such as the 10-piece chicken McNuggets, medium coke, medium fries, and the two Korean-inspired dipping sauces - Cajun and Spicy Chili.

The staff of McDonald's Philippines was revealed to have been given special instructions when it came to the packaging. According to the managing director, they were also instructed not to fold the "BTS Meal" paper bag but preserve it, as it is known that ARMY - BTS' fandom - would like to add it to their collection of BTS merchandise.

BTS is known to boost sales of numerous brands they collaborate with, so it is no surprise that McDonald's Philippines also saw immense success. Previously, it was reported that McDonald's in South Korea had surpassed 1.2 million "BTS Meal" units sold.
