Seven years ago, Korea-based professor Robert Kelly and his family gave the internet its favourite TV moment ever. Robert E Kelly, an associate professor of political science at Pusan National University in South Korea, was in the middle of his live interview with BBC News when he was gatecrashed by his two adorable children. Hilarity ensued, and their mother frantically dashed in to retrieve them. The video went crazy viral and catapulted Mr Kelly and his family to internet fame.
The viral pop-culture moment saw its seventh anniversary on March 10 this year. Now, Professor Robert Kelly has reshared the original video and also shared a bunch of recent photos with his family to mark the occasion. In the photos, his children Marion and James, are all grown up.
''BBC Dad content Today is the 7th anniversary of the BBC Dad blooper. So here it is again, with some recent family pictures in the thread below,'' he wrote on X. The photos feature his wife Kim Jung-A, daughter Marion, now 11, and son James, 7. The beautiful family photos include Marion's 11th birthday, their hiking adventures and festive Christmas gatherings.
Notably, Marion was the one who first walked into the room where her dad was shooting his interview with BBC News. She was then joined by her nine-month-old brother James, who was in a baby walker.
