Limited-edition OREO & BTS Cookies are dropping soon, introducing fans around the world to the brand's first-ever purple wafers and a unique hotteok-inspired brown sugar-pancake flavor.
Inspired by a Korean street food favorite, these cookies are filled with a sweet creme that offers a fresh interpretation of a warm, sugar-stuffed pancake. On the outside, fans can appreciate more than a dozen unique embossments BTS designed, including the names of band members, a BTS light stick, and three OREO cookies that form a special message. The OREO & BTS Cookies will be available for pre-sale beginning June 1st on Amazon, before rolling out to retailers beginning on June 8th.
Since the global fandom loves to write letters, OREO and BTS want fans to come together to create the world's largest love letter to BTS, an experience that begins by scanning the on-pack QR code.
