The boyband BTS is the biggest band in the world and every day we get to know, why? This seven-member band has a huge fan following. ARMYs are not just present in their home country South Korea, but all over the world, including India.
In fact, the fandom is growing rapidly here. We come across many instances that gives us an indication of the power of Indian ARMYs. Recently the BTS meal which comes in collaboration with McDonald's was also released in India. It was available on June 1 for the North and East Indian states and June 4 for the South and West Indian ones.
Fans in India were eagerly waiting for the meal to arrive and when it did, undoubtedly it was selling rapidly. McDonald's had a good sale on those two days. Although owing to the situation, the dine-in option in most places was not available. But take-out and delivery were running all day. Indian ARMYs or Desimys as they call themselves are not at all behind now.
