Another promotional video posted also teases another new menu item. Its concept is for fans to go on an adventure with NewJeans to find the new menu item, a “crispy” burger.
It will soon be available in South Korea outlets come 2 March. Whether this promotional campaign will expand overseas remains unknown.

The group bagged rookie awards at The-K Billboard Awards, Seoul Music Awards and Hanteo Music Awards.
Some other brands, including telcos, luxury fashion houses and banks have tapped on the group as brand ambassadors.
McDonald’s Korea previously worked with K-pop supergroup BTS for a special meal named the BTS Meal, which proved to be a wild success.
