Yet, the brand is now seen in a negative light after it became part of the BDS boycott list amid the genocide in Gaza. This has meant that when recent posts have teased a collaboration between McDonald’s and the BTS TinyTAN brand…

It sparked major fury among netizens that, despite all the anger and attempts to educate the members, the group continues to associate with “boycotted brands.”

israel is starving palestinians in gaza to death, quite literally, and mcdonalds sends free meals to these childkillers but sure let’s not be upset about bts promoting mcdonalds bc tinytan figures are cute

It is NOT lost on me that Coca Cola and McDonalds immediately sank their teeth into BTS after years of having their sales hit. If it’s a TinyTans collab with MD, then it’s just the zio’s of Hybe and BH that let this happen :/ cause how does a whole team not know the image of MD. pic.twitter.com/7Ndc139w67
