With the help of his two children, Professor Robert E Kelly inadvertently became a viral sensation a few days ago.
An expert on South Korea, Prof Kelly had been speaking to the BBC via a live broadcast from his home when his two children - Marion and James - decided to crash the interview. As he battled to keep his composure, his wife, Jung-a, was seen frantically (and hilariously) trying to usher the children out of the room in the background.

The pure comedic brilliance ensured that the video was circulated high and wide and also secured Prof Kelly and his family an invite to appear in a second BBC interview.
Speaking to James Menendez, Robert and Jung-a explain how, having watched the footage back multiple times, they also appreciate how hilarious it is. Robert also confirms that his decision to remain seated during the first interview was not because he wasn't wearing any trousers, as some had jokingly suggested.
Once again, we can't help but find ourselves laughing at Marion, the first of the children to make an appearance in the original interview. Playing with her toys throughout the interview, Robert feels the need to attempt to quieten her on two separate occasions.
