McDonald’s Korea has started building a giant burger, box of fries and drink carton – a novelty building to serve as its outpost at next year’s Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games in South Korea.

It will cater to visitors only, with a separate McDonald’s location to offer complimentary meals to athletes expected to be situated within the Olympic Village.
