Family behind BBC viral video sits down for a less chaotic interview

Just a week ago, Professor Robert Kelly became an internet sensation, not for his views on South Korea’s political situation, but because his family crashed his video interview bringing smiles to many people around the world.

The video shows Kelly being interviewed on BBC from his home office in Seoul, talking about South Korea, before his young daughter waltzed into the room, quickly followed by his toddler son James in a baby walker. As Kelly tries to keep a straight face, his wife, Jung-a-Kim enters the room to scoop off the children and return on all fours to close the door.

Speaking again to BBC, Kelly explained that he was aware of his children entering the room while the interview was going on;

“I was just hoping that my wife would eventually see it and maybe find some way to run them out of the room,” he said.

“I was hoping that maybe my daughter might sit down and read a book or something, even for thirty seconds until we could just cut the interview, but once my son came in in the little roller, then it was sort of, then there was nothing I could do. I was just hoping you guys might cut it on your end and I was just sort of maintaining a straight face hoping to get through it,” he added.

During the second interview, Kelly was joined by his wife and his two children, who are now an internet sensation. Kelly said that his wife ‘deserves a medal’ for looking after the entire family, including the feisty children.
