RantCrush Top 5: March 15, 2017

Korea expert Robert Kelly and his adorable family have become the internet sensation of the year so far and now they’ve spoken to media about that fateful day when the kids crashed their dad’s BBC live interview. Some of the highlights: Kelly’s wife Kim Jung-A was actually watching the interview on live TV in the other room, and didn’t realize their daughter Marion had entered his office until she saw it on the screen.

The fact that Ms Kim rushed into the room when she saw the kids on TV makes The Greatest Interview even funnier, https://t.co/xX1WIVWrV0 pic.twitter.com/2zDOdlhHc3

Marion was apparently in “a hippity-hoppity mood” after having a birthday party at school earlier in the day, which explains her cheerful dance/march into the room. When eight-month-old baby James glided into the study in his walker, Kelly “knew it was over.” And to answer a question many people had regarding why Kelly never got up from his chair–yes, he was wearing pants.
