BTS share their memories about McDonald's
During an exclusive interview, BTS projected their excitement about the collaboration. The group shared their McDonald's-related stories. Jin revealed that the group used to live near a McDonald’s when they were trainees. He said that,
"There was a McDonald’s about 10 minutes away from our dorm where we used to live before we debuted. It’s open 24 hours, so we would go there when we were hungry, and we’d ask each other, ‘How was your day?’ and have a good time."
While Jin and Jungkook bonded over eating McDonald's during their trainee years, Jimin shared that he associates McDonald's with his high school years.
"There was a McDonald’s at the express bus terminal, so I would always, always eat there, every day heading to my afternoon classes."
Suga revealed that his parents used to bribe him with McDonald's fries. So he associates the fast-food chain with family.
"When you’re young, if your parents tell you to tag along to the mall, by saying they would get me McDonald’s fries, then I would go!"
