McDonald’s Philippines Is A Huge K-Pop Fan, Here Are The References To Prove It

Even big brands like McDonald’s are not immune to K-Pop’s influence!

McDonald’s Philippines mentioned YG Entertainment’s girl group in November 2018. On their official Twitter account, they asked fans to find a local branch by saying “McDO in your area”, the same slogan BLACKPINK uses.

The fast food brand also follows Lisa on Instagram, leading some fans to speculate that a collaboration may be coming up.

Each group had their own witty reference. BLACKPINK’s was the “black” in the black bun product of McDonald’s…

…TWICE was seen in the words “TWICE the excitement” that introduced chicken and beef burgers…

…and BTS’s acronym was spotted in the poster stating, “Be The Star”.

As these references prove, McDonald’s is a big K-Pop fan as well!
