The Kings have the opportunity to sweep the Oilers in their playoff series after a commanding 6-2 victory, and they are embracing the unique spirit brought by a harmonica group from the Koreatown Senior and Community Center. This group, which has gained popularity for performing the national anthem, has become a good luck charm for the Kings, contributing to the team's morale. Their vibrant performances in traditional Korean attire add to the cultural richness of the event and showcase community involvement in sports.
"Pack your harmonicas," the Kings' X account posted following the team's 6-2 win over the Oilers on Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena."
"That day, we received a standing ovation from LA City Councilmembers and over 100 attendees, which gave us great confidence," Kim told The Times in an email Thursday.
"The Kings liked the idea, Kim said. So 13 women and one man from the harmonica class, dressed in traditional Korean hanbok, appeared at the game and played the anthem 'to an overwhelmingly positive response.'"
