The Wall Street Journal sat down to interview the family that became internet famous after the children crashed their father’s live BBC interview: As the interview began, the couple’s 4-year-old daughter Marion jumped up and down at the sight of her father on the screen. Perhaps recognizing his location, a room at the end of the hallway, she wandered off to find him. She was in high spirits after enjoying her birthday party earlier that day at kindergarten, her father says. The couple’s 8-month-old son, James, followed behind his sister in his baby-walker, as he often does. Ms. Kim continued to concentrate on the screen, filming her husband. Then, there she was: Marion was in the same room as her father in a bright yellow sweater. I also loved Ben Thompson’s breakdown of the video on Medium. Expand - View Original
Normally videos that go "viral" aren't really that funny to me, but I was in tears after watching this video - brilliant.
i'm glad the response to this has been largely positive, in my head i was seeing all this internet negativity ranging from "they abuse their kids!" to "he's an emotionally negligent father!" to "what an unprofessional way to handle this!" which, there is still some of that, but mostly people are seeing the charm of it.
yeah, that was actually my first thought when seeing this video, that there'd be outrage over him pushing the daughter away. but it's just too goddamn adorable of a video to be mad
