Unruly kids who crashed dad’s BBC interview are all grown up 7 years later

The kids are all right!

Professor Robert E. Kelly updated the world on his daughter, Marion, and her younger brother, James, over the weekend — seven years after the kids created a viral video moment while Kelly was being interviewed on the BBC.

“BBC Dad content. Today is the 7th anniversary of the BBC Dad blooper,” Kelly wrote Sunday in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “So here it is again, with some recent family pictures in the thread below.”

Kelly posted the original 2017 video and also included updated photos of him with Marion, James and Kelly’s wife, Jung-A Kim.

The family became Internet stars seven years ago when Kelly was being interviewed on live television by the BBC about the political crisis in North Korea.

Marion, who was then 4 years old, crashed the interview when she walked through an open door in the family’s apartment in Busan, South Korea. She adorably bopped into the room and went right up to the camera as Kelly tried to push her away with his arm.

She was acknowledged by the BBC interviewer … and then James rolled in after her in his bouncy seat, followed by Jung-A, who ran and corralled her children.

In the video, Kelly — a professor of political science at Pusan National University — remained calm. “Pardon me, my apologies,” he said as Jung-A grabbed both kids and pulled them out of the room.

She then slammed the door behind her so they couldn’t interrupt Kelly again.

Kelly’s latest family photos included a few shots from Marion’s birthday party and one of he and James hiking.

“These are from Marion’s birthday party today, and James and I hiking this morning,” he wrote.

In one particular photo from last Christmas that was posted by Kelly — under the caption “And some more Christmas pictures” — James wore a Santa cap as he sat on Kelly’s shoulders and was flanked by Marion and Jung-A.
