Jihoon Can’t Even Look Elicia In The Eye - 90 Day Fiancé jihoon lee instagram

Elicia has found herself in the middle of a whole new kind of conflict, one that involves actual tears.

Jihoon
Korean reality TV star Jihoon Lee and his American bride-to-be Deavan Clegg have had their share of arguments, but none compares to the most recent explosion between Jihoon and his mother-in-law, Elicia Clegg.

The trio, featured on the TLC spinoff 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, has suffered a number of cultural misunderstandings since Elicia and Deavan left their hometown of Salt Lake City to settle down in Korea.

While Deavan has faced criticism for her lack of Korean knowledge, Jihoon has landed himself in the dog house on a number of occasions. The young delivery man has lied to his new family about how much money he makes and about whether he is capable of providing for his children.

Now, Elicia has found herself in the middle of a whole new kind of conflict, one that involves actual tears.

Jihoon Breaks Down
According to the official @90DayFiancé Twitter account, Jihoon had an argument with Elicia that ended with him unable to look his new mother in-law in the eye. “Jihoon tried hard not to make eye contact with Elicia,” the post reads.

Attached to the tweet is a gif that may give viewers a feeling of exactly what went down between the pair. The short clip features Elicia, whose palms are pressed together as she expresses herself to Jihoon. The Salt Lake City grandmother is doubled over with emotion.

Jihoon, on the other hand, looks like he has been physically backed into a corner. He breathes deeply as he fights back tears. His own hands are clasped behind his back. His eyes are downcast.

If Jihoon’s display of emotion has helped soften Elicia towards him in the slightest, the mother in-law does not show it. Instead, she tells Jihoon that she is indifferent towards his crying. “Your tears mean nothing to me,” Elicia cried out.

A String Of Disappointments
Jihoon’s latest disagreement with his new American family comes after a number of embarrassing missteps on the part of the Korean reality star. Not only have Jihoon’s friends felt shame knowing that their friend can’t provide for his child, but his own father has sided with Deavan in their arguments.
