TORONTO , May 26, 2026 /CNW/ - OREO and BTS fans, get ready for an OREO cookie BTS made just for you. That's right: RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook are joining forces with the world's #1 cookie to drop the Limited-Edition OREO & BTS Cookies, a brown sugar–pancake flavoured OREO cookie created by BTS and dedicated to BTS fans. This collaboration will kick off a playful global movement across 80+ markets with BTS and the OREO brand.

This partnership is the latest expression of the OREO brand's strategy to disrupt the competitive snack market by curating collaborations that only the OREO brand can deliver on. Together with pop royalty BTS, we're turning our iconic cookie and delicious flavour into a global conversation that brings our playfulness to life, sparks fan excitement, and ultimately leads culture.

The result is a deeply personal flavour creation brought to a global audience: the Limited-Edition OREO & BTS Cookies are filled with a sweet creme that remixes the flavours of hotteok, a warm, brown sugar–stuffed pancake popular in Korean street food markets. BTS has fond childhood memories of eating not just hotteok but also OREO cookies, making this a deeply meaningful collaboration that places a piece of their Korean heritage inside an iconic cookie they've always loved. 

"For OREO to be the first snacking brand we've collaborated with globally is a huge honour. We ate them as kids, we eat them in the studio, and now OREO is helping us share a taste of home with the world," said BTS. "We're just so proud to add our own chapter to OREO's amazing story." 

BTS poured their love for BTS fans into the outside of their OREO cookies, too. As the band celebrates its 13^th anniversary, the Limited-Edition OREO & BTS Cookies feature 13 unique embossments BTS designed for their fans, including the band member names, a BTS light stick, and three OREO cookies that form a special message to BTS fans. Collect the Limited-Edition OREO & BTS Cookies to unveil the message! 

While the unique OREO cookie embossments celebrate the BTS fandom, the design on the Limited-Edition OREO & BTS Cookie Packs is a vibrant homage to South Korea's iconic street market culture--a bustling tapestry of sights, sounds, and delicious food like hotteok. From the moment fans hold the pack, the OREO brand is inviting them to get a taste of the energy and excitement that is such a key part of the South Korean experience.

This special message is the start of a global movement the OREO brand created for fans. Inspired by the fandom's letter-writing tradition, we're rallying OREO and BTS fans to help create the world's largest love letter to BTS. To join the movement, scan the QR code on the Limited-Edition OREO & BTS Cookie Pack to write a playful digital letter to BTS. As letters pour in from around the globe, fans can read each other's words to BTS as the largest love letter prepares to come to life in the real world.

"This collaboration is a perfect example of how the OREO brand continues to show up at the center of culture in bold, playful and unexpected ways," said Peter Verlinden, Director Cookies, Mondelēz Canada. "BTS brought so much heart and intention into creating these cookies, from sharing a taste of their Korean roots through the hotteok-inspired flavour to designing special embossments dedicated to their fans. We can't wait for Canadians to experience this one-of-a-kind OREO cookie and join the global movement celebrating BTS and their fandom."
