7 years later: Viral moment of BBC dad celebrated with family snapshots

Seven years ago, the world was treated to a hilarious and heartwarming moment that quickly went viral. It was the now-famous “BBC Dad” blooper, featuring Professor Robert E. Kelly, his wife Kim Jung-A, and their adorable children, Marion and James.

To mark this special anniversary, Professor Kelly took to social media, sharing new family photos alongside the iconic video clip. The snapshots offered a glimpse into their lives, showcasing moments of joy and togetherness.

The thread also included images from the holidays, with the Kelly family posing in front of a Christmas tree and sharing joyful moments with relatives. James even sported a Santa hat, adding to the festive cheer.

The original blooper occurred during a live BBC interview, where Kelly’s daughter Marion and son James hilariously crashed the serious discussion about South Korea’s political crisis. Marion, then just four years old, danced into the room followed by her baby brother, much to the surprise of viewers worldwide.

As Kelly tried to maintain composure, his wife Jung-A rushed in to escort the children out, closing the door behind her. Despite the interruption, the moment captured the chaotic yet endearing reality of family life.

Seven years on, the Kelly family continues to cherish these memories, embracing the laughter and love that define their bond. The new photos of ‘BBC dad’ serve as a reminder of the joy found in unexpected moments and the enduring spirit of resilience and connection.
