The first couple of days were tough. We had a thousand media solicitations within a week. It&#x27;s just insane, we turned off our phones, we turned off social media. We didn&#x27;t go out of the house for three days, we ordered take out. Reporters came to our parents&#x27; home in the US,&quot; Kelly told ANC&#x27;s Beyond Politics.He also said that his experience taught him a very important lesson: make sure to lock the door.&quot;What not to do, that&#x27;s what I learned. Make sure to lock the door,&quot; Kelly said.&quot;Yes, and it will be the only one. For all media out there, this will never happen again. I forgot to lock the door; final impeachment vote for President Park, I had done multiple media earlier in the day, CNN, Al Jazeera and I was just tired to be perfectly honest. It was part of my job to do media. It could be pretty exhausting if you do it all day, I just forgot to push lock button. My kids are cute. They are 4 and 1, they don&#x27;t do what you tell them, kids are like that,&quot; he added.Kelly teaches at the Department of Political Science and Diplomacy in South Korea’s Pusan National University.
