Deavan Clegg took to Instagram this week to answer “90 Day Fiance” fans’ questions about everything from her husband Jihoon Lee, to her contract with TLC, her plans for the future and more!
On Monday’s episode of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, fans saw Jihoon crying during a conversation about his mother after Deavan took her kids and moved to a hotel after Jihoon (once again) lied about his money situation. (Basically: he has none…but he does have plenty of time for naps!) Deavan told Jihoon she wants to leave Korea and go back to America after this latest disappointment.
During her Instagram Q&A, Deavan addressed the scene with Jihoon’s breakdown.
“I was uncomfortable watching it,” she wrote. “I felt like I was invading Jihoon’s privacy by watching it. I don’t like seeing anyone cry.”
Here’s what Deavan had to say about a variety of other topics….
On whether or not she plans to have more children:
Although she is already the mother of two, Deavan says she’s not done adding to her brood.
“One day,” she answered when asked if there are more kids in her future. “But right now I want to focus on myself and being in the right place whenever that may be.”
On whether or not being on “90 Day Fiance” has affected her relationship with Jihoon:
While being on a reality TV show adds an extra level of stress to any relationship, Deavan doesn’t seem to think it’s affected her and Jihoon all that much.
“Maybe, but at the same time we are still who we are, so I’m not sure,” she replied to the question.
On what her contract with TLC forbids her from doing:
Deavan was asked if the network can force her to avoid talking about certain topics on her YouTube channel, or if TLC has any say in what she reveals.
“Yes and no,” she replied. “While the show is airing I have to be careful what I post because it could be a spoiler, so sadly a lot of my videos are sitting in a folder waiting to be posted.”
On whether or not she’d do yet another season of “90 Day Fiance”:
Not surprisingly, Deavan— who has already appeared on two seasons of “The Other Way”— says she’s down to do more seasons for the franchise.
“Sure if they asked me,” she replied. “Why not? I feel like my story isn’t finished.”
On whether or not she plans to go back to Korea:
Deavan has been in the United States for a while, due to getting “stuck” here due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, according to a comment recently made on Instagram by her mother, Elicia Clegg.
However, Deavan stated during the Q&A that she does intend to return to Korea (and presumably Jihoon?) as soon as she’s allowed to.
“I don’t know when I’ll be able to go back [to Korea] but [as soon] as quarantine is lifted for travelers I plan on going,” Deavan replied.
On whether or not she regrets putting herself on TV:
While Deavan seems to have no regrets about putting her personal life on “90 Day Fiance,” she said she does regret allowing herself to be filmed while she was not looking her best.
“I regret going on-camera not ready,” she told one person. “I never got ready during filming which has caused a lot of backlash about my looks. People hate that I’m taking care of myself [now]. And if I was getting ready [before going on-camera] I feel like people wouldn’t be so harsh.”
Deavan and Jihoon are currently appearing on “90 Day Fiance: The Other Way,” which airs on Mondays on TLC.

Deavan,i think you should move on,he not willing to be father. He should working 2 jobs to get what his family needs. He child himself you really have 3 kids. Girl get on with your life. Fine someone who wants to be man father to your kids. True Dad would be working to take great care of his family. You are wonderful woman and mother. You need someone who puts you and kids first!! Hang in dear. Love Maggie Collins from Vermont
I know I wasn’t making fun of her without makeup – I was making fun of her with that clown makeup. Is she trying to tell us she didn’t get ready for the camera when she was rolling around looking like Ronald McDonald’s understudy?
Also, she feels like “her story isn’t finished” as though there are people out there, fainting couch at the ready, thinking, “If I don’t get to know the ending of the story of Deavan and her man-child husband, I don’t know that I will ever survive.” No, lady, if we didn’t see you on our screens again, I think the world would keep on spinning.
These “celebrities” are exhausting.

I like her but I tell you if that show with Darcey and her sister comes on I’m through watching 90 day. That girl is so pathetic and fake I can’t stomach even looking at her

Why do American women on 90 Day Finance find the need to go to a foreign country to find lazy jerks like Jihoon, Andrei and others who do not know the meaning of hard work and taking care if their families. There are plenty of jerks like that in the Unuted States. These men are immature and want those women to take care of them. Deaven and Elizabeth need a dose of self esteem because the men that they are breeding with are lovers and always will be.

Why would you stay with a man like him tha all he does is lie to you that’s no way to live
She shouldn’t go back until he has lived on his own for at least 4 months, payed all his bills and pays her airplane ticket. I would let him transfer what he saved to me, so I knew I could pay the rent and feed my kids for a while with money left for three return tickets.
How much has money has she spend and lost on him? It’s his turn.
I’m not sure why she keeps trying to make this one night stand actually work. They got pregnant the first time they had sex, and it was an accident. Instead of continuing to date and get to know each other, one of them decided that a baby meant marriage. Jihoon is not husband or father material. Stop trying to force it. You’re now a single mom to two kids. That’s the reality. I wouldn’t dare continue to deplete my savings to move across the world to live with a man boy who doesn’t like to work.
It’s not that people are more harsh because she didn’t get herself “camera ready” before filming, it’s because she is giving Rebecca’s old ass a run for her money in the photoshop department. Bitch posts pictures that make her look like she was airbrushed in a wind tunnel. It’s too much and you ain’t fooling anyone, girl.
No one is on her about taking care of herself. She literally said she just learned how to do makeup when she has very clearly had work done.
Whyyyy would she ever uproot her daughter and herself & move a newborn to KOREA?!!! Didn’t she say she had a good job here in the states? Why would she ever move over there where she doesn’t speak the language, it is unsafe, dirty, and cramped in the apartment Jihoon got them??!! Actually, if I am not wrong, deaven found that apartment and was paying for it, right? ? I genuinely don’t understand why she would choose to go over there.
South Korea is an incredibly safe and well developed country. Please do not tar it just because they picked a crappy neighboorhood to live in. Its still safer to live in the those crap neighbourhoods than it is in gun-flooded America.
As someone who has lived in both countries SK is far safer and more civilised than US, but they obviously picked this apartment to add drama to the season, but everyone lives in small homes in SK, its the culture.
Also, English is practically a second language there now- all the kids learn it in school so its not difficult to live in SK
Jihoon is one of the biggest liars I have ever scene and she KNOWS it and continues to put her children in the situation of being in a run down place with a “daddy” that’s too lazy to get a job. She is a complete idiot for continuing to go back over and over. When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them.
*seen autocorrect acting crazy today!
Her elevator doesn’t exactly go all the way up either… how much do you make a month? 3or 4 thousand- that’s not enough… ok, then I make 6 or 7 thousand
So she packs her whole life and moves across the world and acts so shocked when she gets there and he lied , she knew he was lying. Poor kids she’s shuffling back and forth.
Like you said, he’s showed her who he is.
Hi? Bailee!! She is dumb as a box of rocks. And then Jihoons mom telling him, a 30 year old man with two children to just tell Deavan “that’s what men do”. He acts like he is 10 and his mom treats him that way. At some point, he needs to put his big boy panties on but she is stupid to leave her job, home, family, everything in America and drag her kids to that situation AGAIN! I just don’t get these people…..
Jihoon is a man/child eho id a long way from doing anything responsible. Does he need to neglect the kids during one of his beloved “naps” for Desvan to wake up and see she made some poor choices thst effect her fsmily in huge wsys. Desvan isn’t the sharpedt knife in the drawer either. She had a miscarriage last year
All these couples treat procreation as an “oopsy!” Stop with the babies! At least have a pot to pi$$ in and a window to yhrow it out before deciding to populate more. Grow the hell up both of you!
