An academic who went viral after his kids crashed his live BBC News interview six years ago has shared new photos of his family.

Robert E. Kelly, a political science professor at South Korea’s Pusan National University (PNU), was commenting on South Korean politics from his home for the virtual interview on March 10, 2017, when his children burst into his room.

Marion, who was then celebrating her fourth birthday, was the first to waltz into her father’s room. Her school had just thrown a party for her, which explains why she was “in a hippity-hoppity mood,” Kelly said.

Seconds later, then-8-months-old James barged in with his walker.

At that point, the father-of-two said he knew “it was over.”

Kelly’s wife, Kim Jung-a, then entered the scene in a desperate attempt to retrieve their children and save the interview.
