The meal will include a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium fries, a medium Coke – and, for the first time in the U.S. – Sweet Chili and Cajun dipping sauces.

McDonald's revealed the sauces are inspired by popular recipes from its restaurants in South Korea, the boy band's homeland.

"The band has great memories with McDonald’s," Big Hit Music, the record label of BTS, said in a statement. "We’re excited about this collaboration and can’t wait to share the BTS Meal with the world.

Customers in the U.S. will be able to order meal in restaurants and drive-thrus, through contactless mobile order in the McDonald’s app or through the chain's delivery service, McDelivery.

"We’re excited to bring customers even closer to their beloved band in a way only McDonald’s can – through our delicious food – when we introduce the BTS signature order on our menu next month," Morgan Flatley, chief marketing officer for McDonald’s USA, mentioned in a statement.

Besides BTS, the chain had successfully launched similar limited-edition celebrity meals featuring musicians Travis Scott and J Balvin.
