McDonald’s Korea has increased prices on 35 menu items by an average of 2.4%, citing higher operating expenses.

The adjustment comes less than a year after the company’s previous increase in March 2025, when 20 items rose by an average of 2.3%.

According to the company, a weaker Korean won against the U.S. dollar has pushed up ingredient import costs, while labor expenses have also climbed.

Under the new prices, the Big Mac has risen from 7,200 won to 7,600 won. The bulgogi burger increased by 200 won to 3,800 won.

Several side items and beverages also have smaller increases.
