Food editor Susan Choung tried both the HUNTR/X Meal and the Saja Boys Breakfast Meal from McDonald's new KPop Demon Hunters collaboration. While the Saja Boys meal had solid components, the HUNTR/X Meal emerged as the clear winner with its bolder flavors, more variety, and standout items like the Demon Sauce and Derpy McFlurry.
Why it matters
This limited-time McDonald's collab taps into the massive popularity of KPop and the KPop Demon Hunters franchise, offering fans a chance to engage with their favorite characters through an edible experience. The battle between the HUNTR/X and Saja Boys groups adds an extra layer of excitement and competition, making this a must-try for KPop enthusiasts.
The details
The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal includes a Spicy Saja McMuffin, hash browns, and a drink, while the HUNTR/X Meal features 10-piece McNuggets, Ramyeon McShaker Fries, Hunter Sauce, Demon Sauce, and a medium drink. The HUNTR/X Meal stood out with its bolder flavors in the sauces, the fun Derpy McFlurry dessert, and the overall sense of a cohesive concept. Both meals come with collectible photocards and access to exclusive digital content.
- The KPop Demon Hunters meals launched at McDonald's on March 31, 2026.
- The limited-time promotion will only be available while supplies last, with no hard end date announced.

“The Demon Sauce is the Mira of the lineup: looks cool and delivers. I kept going back to this one.”
— Susan Choung, Recipe Editor
