While Sam Hammington and Yumi Jeong were considering new content, they came up with the idea of covering children's education and parenting methods. The production crew asked Sam Hammington, “How is education done in Australia?” Sam Hammington revealed that there is no private education, saying, “Go to school and that’s it.” He went on to explain, "After school, I hang out at a friend's house and then go to work out. Then I go home and do my homework, sleep, and eat. There's no such thing as going somewhere to study. Everything is handled at school."
Jung Yu-mi, who was listening next to me, yawned, saying, “I’m sleepy,” and was bored with Sam Hammington’s story. Sam Hammington said, "It's because I didn't study (during my school days)," and "That's why I can't educate my children." Jeong Yu-mi got angry and said, “I’m teaching Korean. I’m teaching Bentley.” Sam Hammington pointed out, “If you watch him teach, he looks like a medalist.” Jung Yu-mi said, "I did it because I was joking. I scolded him because he was doing something else. After scolding him, I told him I shouldn't have done that and the next day, I didn't scold him and he did well." He was proud, saying, "William learned Hangul in a week. It was amazing that he did it so quickly. When I said the consonants and vowels, he did it right away and when I did the consonants, he read it right away. I thought I was good at teaching him."
Broadcaster Sam Hammington married Yumi Jeong in 2013, and they have a son, William Hammington, born in 2016, and a son, Bentley Hammington, born in 2017.
