TinyTAN Happy Meal is coming to Malaysia
Malaysian ARMY, this one is for you.
McDonald’s is bringing back a second collaboration with global sensation BTS, but this time, in miniature form. The new TinyTAN Happy Meal, complete with collectible toys and packaging, is set to launch globally starting 3rd September 2025 – and Malaysia is included.
Here’s what we know so far about the new collaboration.
What is TinyTan?
For the uninitiated, TinyTAN are animated characters inspired by each of the seven BTS members. The characters bear a close resemblance to the IRL members, but with a dose of extra adorableness and, well, in tinier form.

The characters were officially launched in 2020 and have since launched their own lineup of animations and merch. Their latest collaboration is with the McDonald’s Happy Meal, following BTS’s previous partnership with the fast-food chain in 2021, which had ARMY snacking on the viral BTS Meal: a combination of McNuggets and various sauces popular in South Korea.

The global launch date is set for 3rd September, but according to the same Instagram post, fans can check on their local McDonald’s for a specific launch date in their country.
What’s in the TinyTAN Happy Meal?
The TinyTAN Happy Meal offers a choice of a hamburger or Chicken McNuggets, fries or apple slices, a drink, and a blind box with one of seven collectible TinyTAN versions of the BTS members: RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. A photocard of the TinyTAN member pulled will also be included in the special, limited-edition Happy Meal box.
