BBC Family Returns To TV When World Needs Them Most

It's hard to believe that it's been over three years since political scientist and professor Robert Kelly held the viral video-call interview from his home in South Korea that was infamously (and hilariously) interrupted by his kids gleefully marching into the frame. The moment made Kelly's home office one of the most recognizable spaces in internet history, as proven when he returned to television several weeks ago but the internet was too busy looking at his office door to listen to what he had to say.

Early this morning, Kelly returned to television and this time brought his entire family. While discussing the South Korean response to the Coronavirus, Kelly and his wife dealt with their adorable kids mussing their parents' hair, giving them hugs, and generally acting like toddlers. While it seems that yet again, little that Kelly actually said made an impact, he and his family's appearance lifted the internet's spirits.

The kids got excited being on camera, messed their dad's hair, became horribly restless in mom's lap, stuck tongue out and left the frame to get games- all within a span of few minutes. Thank you @Robert_E_Kelly for yet another adorable interview. https://t.co/xkLgXcz1VK

Kelly, who is active on Twitter, has been providing updates about him and his family's social isolation life in South Korea. Overall, things seem to be going well for the family.

People keep asking what it’s like to be in South Korea during corona. So no, it’s not World War Z; it’s this. I can’t go to work, and my kids can’t go to school. So we’re playing a lot of Connect 4 at home. /1 pic.twitter.com/KoZ5mX2aYS
