The recent growth of Sam Hammington's sons, William and Bentley, appeared in 'Study with the Wise and Fool'.
On the 12th, KBS2's 'Study with the Wise and Fool' featured Sam Hammington along with Lee Ha-jung and Lee Ji-ae, who appeared as panelists with their children, attracting attention.
Having quickly become elementary school students, Sam Hammington, who appeared with William and Bentley, said, "It's burdensome" and added, "Honestly, I don't like this place. I don't think I can cheat on either side. I know absolutely nothing about Korean textbooks. So I want to cheat a little bit."
Kang Ho-dong noted, "In a way, William and Bentley are not just sons to Sam Hammington, they are a Daesang. They made him win an award," referencing the popularity of 'The Return of Superman'. Sam Hammington acknowledged, "William and Bentley have been the grandsons of KBS for a long time." Subsequently, a video from their 'Superman Returns' days was unveiled, catching everyone's attention. Watching the video, Sam Hammington shared, "There was a time like that. It's hard to believe that period existed," expressing his unique feelings about the children growing up.
Kim Ho-young asked William and Bentley, "You've really grown up a lot," and inquired, "Do you have any Korean names?" William explained, "They are Jeong Tae-o and Jeong Woo-seong." To this, Sam Hammington added, "My wife has the Jeong surname, so we followed her last name."
Next, Lee Ha-jung, the wife of Jeong Joon-ho and a broadcaster, appeared with her son Si-wook and daughter Yu-dam. Si-wook stated, "I heard that I would be the host at the wedding, but it seems it's for an advertiser's wedding," and added, "If my father came, there would probably be a chaotic tiki-taka with Shin Hyun-joon uncle," showcasing his distinct wit. When asked, "Is it fun to meet dad and uncle Shin Hyun-joon?" he replied, "It really lives up to its name," causing laughter.
Lee Ji-ae, KBS's prominent announcer and wife of Kim Jeong-keun, also appeared with her daughter Seo-a and son Do-yoon. When Seo-a was asked, "Both mom and dad are announcers, right? Do you want to be an announcer too?" she replied, "No, I want to become an idol," revealing her unexpected dream. When asked if she could dance to her favorite girl group IVE, she impressed everyone by showcasing the dance to IVE's 'REBEL HEART.'
Following this, a problem-solving session took place, and the newly established segment "Look into the eyes and speak" was introduced, drawing attention. Kim Ho-young introduced the new segment, stating, "In the first-grade integrated subject 'Promise', students learn how to express their opinions under the theme 'I have something to say'. So we prepared 'Look into the eyes and speak.'"
First, Kim Si-hyeon, son of Kim Jeong-tae, expressed, "When dad comes from Seoul, he doesn't let me go out, so my friends know that and they call me all the time to ask if dad is at home. When I say he is at home, my friend sighs and hangs up. It's a one-hour meeting, but I can only play for two hours since he tells me to come home early, which makes me feel bad." He continued, "At night when we sleep together, my dad makes the phone screen too bright, so I can't sleep." In response, Kim Jeong-tae clarified, "I don't often stay in Busan, do I? Every time I go down, I want to be with the kids. If I were a dad who stays home every day, I wouldn’t care if they go out to play. But I have to go back to Seoul, right?"
Next, Kim Tae-yoon, son of Kim Byung-hyun, said, "I understand when dad says he is always washing up, but there is a smell coming from his face. While telling me to wash up properly, he washes while looking at his phone, singing, and just sitting there saying he is washing. I wish he would wash up so there is no smell." Kang Ho-dong asked, "What smell comes from your face?" Tae-yoon described it, saying, "There is a stuffy smell coming from my face." Kim Byung-hyun insisted, "No! The smell that comes from dad is not stuffy. I wash in the morning and evening." However, Tae-yoon added, "You washed in the morning two days ago and only again tonight!" causing chaos at the scene.
Hearing this, Kang Ho-dong intervened, saying, "Even if dad smells, he cooks ramen well and buys good meat," to which Kim Byung-hyun retorted, "He buys a lot of games too. He secretly helps me buy in-game items without telling mom," emphasizing. Tae-yoon reacted, "Why did you say that!" and Lee Ha-jung criticized Kim Byung-hyun, saying, "That's a secret to mom..." Then Kang Ho-dong urged, "Say something to mom," to which Tae-yoon sent a video message toward the camera saying, "I'm sorry..." bringing more laughter.
Next, Yang Eun-ji's daughter, Lee Ji-eum, appeared, shocking everyone by refusing a hug from the start. Kim Byung-hyun teased, "Does mom smell from her face?" and Ji-eum replied, "Feet smell more than her face," shocking Yang Eun-ji. She continued, "First, don't nag dad at home," and recounted, "When washing dishes, water splashed on me, and I got hit on the back for it." Yang Eun-ji rebutted, "I’m really not that kind of woman. Not only water splashed, but soap bubbles did too. It was a mess on the floor. While washing, I dropped a dish and it got chaotic on the floor," but the panelists criticized, "But dad helped you..."
Following this, Lee Ha-jung's son, Jeong Si-wook, expressed his desire to "press down on the chair" and showed his determination, stating, "I wish no one would say anything while I do my homework. I know it’s like this for my mom too, constantly dissing me for how I was back then and not listening. When I want to buy something, it’s unnecessary, and you don’t listen to my opinion. Don’t believe everything you hear on social media like 'Eating jelly causes ADHD,' from people you don’t even know..." He spilled his grievances in a rapid-fire manner. Hearing this, Shin Hyun-joon remarked, "He must be Jeong Joon-ho’s son," and Si-wook concluded, "I have more to say, but I will stop here for the sake of time," eliciting laughter.
On another note, Shin Hyun-joon’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, I couldn't challenge him because Min-seo was sleeping. It always seems to be about Min-seo getting gifts," revealing his disappointment. Sam Hammington's son, William, chimed in, "Dad, it’s nice, but lose some weight," offering his own advice. Bentley further added, "Don't drink beer, drink coffee instead," and warned, "If you drink beer, you'll get fat and have a big belly."
Meanwhile, on this episode, Lee Ji-ae scored a total of 4 points to claim the final victory. Sam Hammington ended the recording with 0 points, failing to get any answers. Notably, when he failed at the Korean language question, which required reading a given sentence accurately and quickly, Bentley and William shed tears of disappointment for not winning snacks. Sam Hammington conveyed, "I made good memories, but I don’t think the kids regard them as good memories. I hope they just remember today’s problems," evoking sadness.
