Minister Erick Thohir Finally Got BTS Meal, Greetings ARMY

JAKARTA - The boom in BTS Meal orders at McDonald's outlets has resulted in crowds of online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol) filling social media timelines. Everyone is busy because of the BTS Meal.

The new menu in collaboration with BTS consists of pieces of chicken nuggets, french fries, drinks, as well as cajun and sweet chilli sauce. If you buy via an online motorcycle taxi application, one BTS Meal menu is priced at IDR 51,000, not including restaurant wrap fees and shipping costs.

This menu also seems to be of interest to the Minister of BUMN, Erick Thohir. He uploaded a short video about ordering BTS Meal. With the bumper song BTS featuring Halsey "Boy With Luv", the Minister of Jokowi's Working Cabinet opened the package of his order.

"I also got sweat, I don't know if I got it or not, thank God I got it too," said Erick Thohir in a video uploaded to Erickthohir's Instagram, Thursday, June 10.

“Souvenirs for my youngest child, Alia, BTS Meal. Today I asked my team for help to try to buy it via drive thru and still got it. Hopefully McDonald's outlets can maintain health protocols during this time. Because I'm sure BTS Army all over Indonesia are really excited to enjoy BTS Meal (including my son)," said Erick Thohir in the caption for his uploaded video.

McDonald's Indonesia previously enforced opening and closing orders as a result of the high interest of BTS fans to buy BTS Meal and causing orders through online applications and delivery messages to boom.

"We are very grateful for the great enthusiasm of the community for the BTS Meal. Regarding the temporary closure of several McDonald's outlets, the safety and security of consumers and customers is McDonald's Indonesia's priority. The closure is temporary, in order to avoid crowds of drive thru queues and delivery purchases. We apologize for the inconvenience," said McDonald's Indonesia Associate Director of Communication Sutji Lantyka, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, June 9.

He said the open and close system was implemented so that no accumulation or crowding would occur again, which is an activity that is contrary to the implementation of health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sutji also conveyed a message to all ARMY who are interested in buying the BTS Meal so they don't have to worry because the BTS Meal will be available within the next one month.

"We also want to inform you again that BTS Meal is not only available today, but for the next month, so that all customers don't have to rush and worry about running out of this product," said Sutji.
