Viral dad on the trials of working from home

BBC News in the UK have branded Prof. Kelly “Viral dad” after his children burst into the background of a live TV interview in 2017, and quickly became a viral success.

They decided to ask him about working from home, with children, as a large chunk of the global population prepares for a few weeks under lockdown for novel coronavirus.

Families across the world are having to spend more time at home to try to contain the spread of coronavirus.

The BBC spoke to Professor Robert Kelly and his wife, Jung-a Kim to ask them about the lockdown in South Korea with children Marion and James.

The family became a global hit in 2017 when Prof Kelly’s children gatecrashed a live interview he was doing with the British broadcaster.
