13-year-old Ethan Kim of Upper Dublin was featured in NBC10’s evening newscast on the Friday before Super Bowl LIX.
The clip, which was recorded on Kim’s birthday, has since gone viral and has almost a million views on NBC10’s TikTok page and nearly 80,000 views on Instagram.
“This is our time. This is our house. We got protection. It took the Avengers two times to times to beat Thanos. Two times and this our second time going and facing Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. Let’s go, Birds!” Kim said after leading the Eagles’ chant.
“My phone had 50 text messages,” he said. “Every single one of my friends. I don’t even know. My friends actually asked for my autograph today because of how famous I got on TikTok. At school, an entire group of people surrounded me. It was really fun.”
