'We were worried BBC would never call us again' - Family in viral interview speaks to BBC again


Remember professor Robert Kelly? The expert in South Korea who was interrupted by his two mischievous young children who gatecrashed his live BBC World News interview last Friday to discuss the impeachment of South Korean President Park Geun-hye... Ok if you read that story, well he has been interviewed again by the BBC but this time with his wife and kids.

Robert Kelly of the Department of Political Science at Pusan National University in Busan, and his family became internet sensation last week when he was having a Skype interview at his home answering questions on the South Korea's president, Park Geun-hye, being ousted from office, when suddenly his two kids, a toddler and another in a baby-walker burst in.

Robert who said his first reaction was "mortification" and then worried that the BBC would never call him again is seen in the hilarious video awkwardly pushing away his daughter, moments before his panicked wife slid across the hardwood floor to drag the kids out of the room. 

In the new interview, Kelly introduced his wife, Jung-a Kim and children Marion and James. His wife also cleared the air that many thought she was a nanny, but that she's his wife.

Speaking to the BBC on Tuesday, Professor Kelly said: 
"We were worried actually that the BBC would never call us again actually.
"That was actually our first response was mortification that we had just sort of completely blown our relationship with you."
His wife, Jung-a Kim, they "laughed a lot" afterwards.

The video was shared by the BBC on Twitter and since been retweeted tens of thousands of times.
