What to expect from the McDonald’s Singapore and G-Dragon collaboration, launching October 1
BigBang fans, make some noise: McDonald’s Singapore is teaming up with K-pop icon G-Dragon for a new menu and limited-edition merchandise! Just in time for BigBang’s concert in Singapore next month, too!
The McDonald’s x G-Dragon collaboration menu items will officially be launched starting next Thursday (October 1), but McDonald’s Singapore will be keeping the goodies spread out over the next few weeks.
Hungry? You can look forward to digging into Korean-inspired items such as a spicy bulgogi chicken burger and bulgogi beef burger and also the returning Hershey’s soft serve collection.
If that’s not enough good news, there’s more — the well-loved spicy chicken McNuggets will be back from October 15, too!
What to expect from the McDonald’s x G-Dragon collab
Our favourite is most definitely the new spicy bulgogi chicken burger (from S$9.95) — it’s the epitome of K-fusion flavours done well!
It features a flavorful, crispy, spicy chicken patty coated with a sweet bulgogi sauce, topped with lettuce and mayonnaise, encased between two fluffy burger buns.
We especially loved the bulgogi sauce and caramelised onions, whose sweetness helped balance out some of that spice.
If you’re more of a beef-lover, there’s also the bulgogi beef burger (from S$9.50). It comes with sweet bulgogi sauce smothered on a beef patty, topped with caramelised onions and lettuce, for some added freshness.
Hot on the heels of these Korean-inspired burgers also comes the return of Hershey’s soft serve on October 1, and the spicy chicken McNuggets on October 15, both after breakfast hours.
And yes, the Hershey’s soft serve flavour is back in all forms, whether you love it in a cone (from S$1.70) or McFlurry (from S$4.15) — you can have ‘em all once October 1 hits.
Get your hands on exclusive G-Dragon merchandise
Beyond the menu items, we know that everyone’s also excited about what the McDonald’s and G-Dragon collaboration brings, in terms of merchandise.
With every purchase of the spicy bulgogi chicken burger meal, whether it’s both a single or double burger, you’ll receive one mystery photocard with the man, G-Dragon, himself on it. There are three designs to collect, so make sure to snag them all!
G-Dragon’s fashion label PeaceMinusOne is also joining in on the merchandise fun, with limited-edition McDonald’s x PeaceMinusOne merchandise dropping in Singapore on October 8 at 11am.
Get your hands on an exclusive McDonald’s x PeaceMinusOne Tote Bag for S$12.90, with every purchase of a meal.
If you’re looking to jazz up your tote bag, there is also a pins set which you can get at S$5.90 on its own, or as a bundle for S$18.80. Do note that pin designs vary and are available while stocks last.
If you’re a McDonald’s MyM member you’re in for a treat — get a McDonald’s x PeaceMinusOne vintage hat at S$9.90 with a minimum spend of $10 made through the McDonald’s app.
This is however only redeemable at the following 10 selected McDonald’s outlets, while stocks last: Canberra, Choa Chu Kang Lot 1, Sengkang Sports Complex, Woodleigh Mall, Jem, Aperia Mall, Bedok Mall, Pasir Ris Mall, Kallang, and Funan.
Don’t stop the party!
Looking for more K-pop fun? Whether you managed to get tickets to the upcoming BigBang concert in Singapore on October 17 and 18 or not, you’re welcome to join McDonald’s Singapore’s K-Pop Rave Party at its outlet at Aperia Mall right before the concert madness on October 16 (Friday).
Expect plenty of exclusive event merchandise such as bandanas, collectible card toppers, and photobooth keepsakes.
If you want in, simply go on the McDonald’s app from 1 October, 3pm, and purchase its KPOP Bundle (S$39.90), which comes with two tickets to the party and two spicy bulgogi chicken burger or beef bulgogi burger upsized meal vouchers.
