Sam Hammington revealed the recent growth of William and Bentley through "Study and Play."
On the 12th, KBS2 "Study and Play" featured Sam Hammington, Lee Ha-jung, and Lee Ji-ae as new panelists.
On that day, Sam Hammington, who appeared with William and Bentley, admitted it was "burdensome." Kang Ho-dong asked, "What part is burdensome?" and Sam Hammington said, "Honestly, I don’t like this spot. I feel like it won’t be possible to cheat on either side. I know absolutely nothing about Korean textbooks. So, I want to cheat a little." This drew laughter.
Kang Ho-dong said, "In a way, William and Bentley are not just Sam Hammington's children, but a blessing. They have enabled him to receive awards," and Sam Hammington mentioned that "William and Bentley have been KBS' grandchildren all along," referring to the popularity of "The Return of Superman." Videos of William and Bentley from their time on "The Return of Superman" were shown, and Sam Hammington reminisced, stating, "It’s hard to believe there was a time like that."
Now that William and Bentley are elementary school students, Kim Ho-young remarked, "They have really grown up" and asked, "Do William and Bentley have Korean names?" William responded, "Jeong Tae-oh and Jeong Woo-sung," to which Sam Hammington added, "My wife’s surname is Jeong, so they followed her last name."
Next, Lee Ha-jung, the wife of Jung Jun-ho and the protagonist of "1200 to 1," appeared with her son Si-wook and daughter Yoo-dam. Shin Hyun-jun teased his close friend Jung Jun-ho, saying, "I sent Ha-jung because I thought Jun-ho wouldn’t do as well as me," and Si-wook explained that he heard that he was supposed to host at a wedding but that it was the advertiser's wedding, which was why he couldn't attend. When asked, "Are you sad that you couldn't come with your dad?" he said, "If my dad had come, there would have been a chaotic Tikitaka with Uncle Shin Hyun-jun." He showcased his wit by responding to the question, "Is it fun to meet your dad and Uncle Shin Hyun-jun?" with "They have a name value."
Kim Jeong-geun's wife and KBS’s main announcer Lee Ji-ae also appeared with her daughter Seo-ah and son Do-yun. She mentioned that she took the announcer exam with Lee Ha-jung and said, "I passed with MBC 1200 to 1. I was one of the 1200." Lee Ha-jung recalled, "We were in the same team for the final interview," and Lee Ji-ae quipped, "Thinking about that? I felt at the interview that I would be chosen as older. I have many opportunities because I'm older." Lee Ha-jung countered, "While I was doing it, I also felt that the judges were leaning toward me. Their answers seemed very typical and exemplary. Inside, I thought, ‘This is boring, lacking in sense.’ It felt bland and flavorless," drawing laughter.
Then, they proceeded to the main problem-solving segment, during which Kim Ho-young introduced a new corner by stating, "In the first-grade integrated subject 'Promise,' we learn how to effectively express our intentions with the theme 'I have something to say.' So, we prepared 'Look into my eyes and talk.'"
First up was Kim Jeong-tae and his son Kim Si-hyun. Si-hyun shared, "When my dad comes from Seoul, he doesn’t let me go out, and since my friends know that, they call me to ask if my dad is around. When I say he's here, my friend sighs and hangs up. It takes an hour to meet, but we can only play for two hours before being told to come back early, which makes me feel bad," adding, "At night when we sleep together, my dad brightens his phone's screen too much, and I can’t sleep." In response, Kim Jeong-tae explained, "I’m not often in Busan. Whenever I go down, I want to spend time with the kids. If I were a dad at home every day, I wouldn’t care whether they went out to play. But my dad has to go back to Seoul, right?"
Next, Kim Byung-hyun's son Kim Tae-yoon came out, and Tae-yoon revealed, "I know dad always says he washes up, but he still smells a bit from his face. He always tells me to wash thoroughly yet sits around washing while looking at his phone or listening to music. He just talks about washing. I wish he would wash up properly so he doesn’t smell anymore," shocking everyone.
Kang Ho-dong asked, "What kind of smell comes from your face?" and Tae-yoon explained, "There’s a musty smell coming from his face." Kim Byung-hyun denied, saying, "No, it’s not a musty smell. I wash in the morning and evening," but Tae-yoon added, "You only washed this morning and will wash again this evening!" causing the scene to erupt in laughter.
Next, Yang Eun-ji's daughter Lee Ji-eum appeared, and she shocked everyone by refusing a hug from the start. Yang Eun-ji exclaimed, "She wasn’t like this!" Kim Byung-hyun teased, "Does your mom smell?" and Ji-eum replied, "Her foot smells more than her face," shocking Yang Eun-ji. Ji-eum then added, "First, don’t scold me, dad," saying, "When I do the dishes, water splashes on me, and I got scolded by mom." Yang Eun-ji defended herself, saying, "I’m really not that kind of woman. It wasn’t just water splashing; bubbles flew everywhere. It was a mess when I accidentally dropped a plate while washing!" but she received jeers.
Meanwhile, Lee Ji-sook, the son of Lee Ha-jung, expressed his wish, saying, "I want to create some pressure by raising the chair," and then added, "I hope you don’t say anything while I’m doing my homework. I know, but mom keeps dissing me, saying, 'When I was younger, I did this,' and I don't want that. Also, when I’m buying something, it’s unnecessary, and she doesn’t listen to my opinion. Please don’t believe everything you read on social media, like 'Eating jelly causes ADHD.' Those names are unrecognized!" He poured out his complaints like a machine gun. Hearing this, Shin Hyun-jun acknowledged, "He’s definitely Jung Jun-ho’s son," and Ji-sook claimed, "There’s more, but I’ll stop here for time constraints," making everyone burst into laughter.
Next, Shin Hyun-jun's son Min-jun expressed, "Dad comes home too late. I want to play with him more often. Last time we went to play basketball, Min-seo was sleeping, which is why we didn’t compete. And again, because Min-seo is sleeping, he buys all the toys for her!" revealing his disappointment. Sam Hammington’s son William quipped, "Dad, you need to lose some weight," and Bentley added, "Don’t drink beer; drink coffee instead," saying, "If you drink beer, you’ll get fat and have a big belly."
Lastly, they had to read given sentences accurately and quickly. Given that he’s a foreigner, Sam Hammington requested understanding from the kids, saying, "I don’t have to eat, right?" but Bentley firmly responded, "No, you have to eat." Sam Hammington apologized and attempted the game but ultimately failed, causing Bentley and William to shed tears out of disappointment.
The broadcast on that day ended with Lee Ji-ae's victory, who scored a total of 4 points. Sam Hammington, who ended with a final score of 0 points after not correctly answering any questions, said, "I’ve created good memories, but I'm not sure if it was good memories for the kids. I hope they remember the questions from today."
