Time sure does fly. This is so evident as you watch a child grow up. It is hard to believe that it’s been six years since Marion Kelly confidently and triumphantly burst into her dad’s office, quickly followed by her baby brother, James. It was a moment destined to go viral — and it did, with 54 million views on YouTube.
Unfortunately, dad Robert E. Kelly, a professor of political science at Pusan National University, was live on air with the BBC, trying to give an interview at the time of his children’s interruption. He got through it and became a celebrity of sorts, taking on the new nickname "BBC Dad" Robert took to Twitter on the anniversary of the interview to share some adorable updated family photos.
Robert shared four photos taken at Marion's recent singing recital. “Some BBC Dad content since the 6th anniversary of the original video was last Friday. Marion had a singing performance this past weekend, so we got some nice family pictures. Thanks again to all of you who follow me bc of the video. My family and I flattered by your kindness,” he wrote.
In Robert’s original video, he is attempting to discuss the impeachment of South Korean President Park Geun-hye. Marion, who was 4 years old at the time, is blissfully unaware of this and enters the room dancing with a toy. Baby brother James, who was just 9 months old, refuses to be left out and joins her, rolling in with his walker. Mom quickly realizes what happened and rushes into the room to try to get them out, which is difficult. It is something every parent who works from home can relate to. As Robert apologizes, the audience can hear still hear his kids crying in the background.

Robert also reflected on his 15 minutes of fame in an essay one year after the incident. "People often ask me and my wife what it has been like to suddenly become virally famous. It has mostly been fun, and sometimes weird,” he said. “As work becomes more flexible due to smartphones, super-light laptops, the cloud, and so on, it increasingly follows us home. Many of the comments we received were from parents who had had similar experiences, such as locking themselves in the bathroom so their kids could not interrupt a radio interview. These reactions were positive and empathetic. We were very moved by them."
