BTS’ Kim Tae-hyung and Jackie Chan's recent ad for SimInvest has taken over the internet as fans cannot contain their excitement.

The BTS vocalist V has been the face of the app since last year, and this time he is joined by the renowned actor Jackie Chan.
What caught everyone's eye was the ad film featuring the two global stars. The advertisement campaign named, Experience Limitless, shared the fun experience of two best friends connecting despite the distance between them. The film begins with an intriguing silhouette of Jackie Chan continuing to Kim Tae-hyung showing how he uses SimInvest to connect with his friend.
