McDonald’s Korea has announced a price increase for 20 menu items, set to take effect on March 20. Prices will rise by approximately 100 to 200 KRW ($0.068 to $0.28), with an average overall increase of 2.3%.

This marks the second price adjustment in just over ten months, following a similar increase last May when prices for 16 menu items went up by approximately 100 to 400 KRW.

The company cited fluctuating exchange rates and rising raw material costs as key reasons for the adjustment. Among the changes, only two individual burgers—the Bulgogi Burger and Cheeseburger—will increase by approximately 200 KRW ($0.14).

Meanwhile, prices for seven burger meal sets will rise by 200 to 300. KRW ($0.14 to $0.21).

The Big Mac meal, one of McDonald’s most popular options, will increase from approximately 7,200 KRW ($4.95) to 7,400 KRW ($5.09). However, the Big Mac McLunch special, available from 10:30 AM to 2 PM, will remain at approximately 6,300 KRW ($4.33).

In the beverage category, only drip coffee will see a 200 KRW ($0.14) price increase, while all other drink prices will stay the same.

Alongside the price adjustments, McDonald’s Korea plans to extend the operating hours of its “table service” option, which delivers orders directly to customers’ tables.
