The post quickly went viral, amassing over 871K views, and fans immediately began speculating about a possible comeback collaboration with a K-pop artist or group.
Among the top replies was one from Guillaume Huin, former Global Marketing Director at McDonald’s, who exclaimed:
“I AM SO READY FOR THIS THIS IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.”
McDonald’s responded with “im screaming,” further fueling excitement.
Another verified user replied, “we miss it too,” to which McDonald’s cheekily responded: “maybe I can fix that.”
Other fans chimed in with comments like “I’m waiting and I’m so excited,” making it clear that the tweet struck a nostalgic chord across the K-pop fandom.
The capitalized “T” in “a Tiny bit too much” caught particular attention, with fans theorizing that it could be a subtle nod to something specific—possibly a K-pop group starting with “T” or even a reference to TinyTAN, the animated characters inspired by BTS.
While no official announcement has been made, the tweet is widely seen as a hint that McDonald’s could be preparing for another major K-pop campaign. Fans remember the iconic 2021 collaboration with BTS, which featured custom meals, limited-edition packaging, and global promotions. Since then, the brand has remained culturally relevant by engaging with K-pop communities through social media and localized marketing.
If this tease is indeed leading to something bigger, McDonald’s may once again be positioning itself at the center of global K-pop fandom—blending food, music, and pop culture into one viral moment.
