The Indonesian BTS Army, the term used for the fanbase of K-Pop group BTS, has initiated fundraising through the crowdfunding website Kitabisa to provide lunch and distribute food packages for Gojek drivers who helped deliver their purchases of a special edition McDonald's menu that was produced in collaboration with the massively popular Korean pop group.

The fundraising aimed to get Rp107mil (RM31,000) by June 13, a goal that has been surpassed.

At the time of going to press, and still three days to the deadline, over Rp151mil (RM44,000) had been raised. The final amount will be donated to online motorcycle-taxi drivers, according to the Kitabisa page, though no further details have been added.
