8.6M Views, Then a Nigerian Upload: John Park's McDonald's Rap Was Taken

A rap that John Park and Kwak Jin-eon never released as a song is now on Spotify and YouTube Music under the name "Yoyotina." Their agency, Musicfarm Entertainment, said on the 11th that it never consented to the upload and is working to get it removed.

The track is titled "McDonald's." Listings show a release date of November 2, 2026, with a Nigeria-based distributor called Jungle Entertainment Ventures credited. Musicfarm says neither the agency nor the original creators signed off on any of it.

The rap everyone already knew

The source material is the "McDonald's order rap" from John Park's YouTube channel. In the video, he and Kwak Jin-eon take hip-hop lessons from rapper Loco, then head to a McDonald's and order their meal in rhyme. The main episode has pulled roughly 8.6 million views. It was popular enough that McDonald's Korea made related ads and a "John Park Set."

But it was never a commercial release. That gap is what someone apparently walked through.

Why AI is part of the conversation

The Spotify version reportedly reuses the rap and melody from the video, then adds a new hook and extra rap sections. That has fueled suspicion that AI was used to imitate John Park's voice. Nothing in the statement confirms that, and Musicfarm stops short of saying it.

What the agency does say is pointed. Using music commercially without the creator's consent can amount to a rights violation, it argues, and establishing the facts and whether infringement occurred comes first. It also notes that AI and changes in global distribution are making unauthorized use of people's work and voices more common.

What Musicfarm is doing

The agency is reviewing how the track got registered with legal and industry experts in Korea and abroad. It is in talks with the platforms and relevant authorities to have the track deleted and block further distribution. It also says it will consider additional measures to protect the rights of the creators and the artists.

No takedown has been announced yet. Who is actually behind Yoyotina remains unanswered.
