He described the tendencies and tastes of broadcaster Sam Hammington's sons.
Sam Hammington is a representative "Korean Foreigner." Born in 1977 in New Zealand and raised in Melbourne, Australia, from a young age, he first set foot in Korea in 1998 as a Korea University exchange student, beginning his relationship with the Republic of Korea. Having learned Korean culture, politics and history at a language institute, he settled in Korea in 2002 and later entered broadcasting as a reporter for an SBS World Cup special program.
After appearing as a foreign reenactment actor on various shows, Sam Hammington went through a difficult period, including the death of his father, and in 2005, while working as a language instructor, an impromptu performance he gave during Kim Jun-ho's show drew attention, catching the eyes of comedians and producers and leading him to join Gag Concert. Debuting as a specially recruited comedian, he became the first foreign comedian.
What especially brought Sam Hammington popularity was "The Return of Superman," in which he appeared with his sons William and Bentley. Thanks to his activities on "The Return of Superman," Sam Hammington won the KBS Entertainment Awards' best variety award in 2018 and the grand prize at the KBS Entertainment Awards in 2019.
Nineteen years after settling in Korea, Sam Hammington drew attention by acquiring a three-story house. His three-story house, whose appearance fees surged during "The Return of Superman," was reported to be worth 2.4 billion won. The house is known to be located in Yeonhui-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, and he said he prepared a house with a yard for his children, which warmed hearts.
While Sam Hammington has shown such deep affection for Korea, his rapidly growing sons William and Bentley drew attention by showing different tendencies.
On the MBC show Save Me! Homes broadcast on the 2nd, the third episode of the campus scouting series was depicted. While scouting near Yonsei University and Korea University, Yang Se-hyung asked Sam Hammington, "Are the kids closer to Korea or Australia in their tendencies?" Sam Hammington replied, "William and Bentley are completely different. Bentley's taste is Korean because rice and kimchi are absolute, but when asked where he's from, he says he's Australian."
Sam Hammington went on, "It seems tendencies change as they grow up," and explained that, since the children are still young, they are finding their identities.
