Jihoon was the only foreign partner to appear in-studio.
Ronald Smith, a 29-year-old from Randfontein, South Africa; Evelin Villegas, a 26-year-old from Engabao, Ecuador; and Aladin, a 29-year-old from Doha, Qatar, all called in for the special.
Karine Martins and Sumit, a 30-year-old from New Delhi, India, however, did not participate in Part 1 of the reunion special at all.
Part 2 for 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's Tell-All special is set to air on Monday, October 21 on TLC.
Below is the latest on each 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way couple based on Monday night's episode on TLC.
PAUL and KARINE
Paul showed up to the Tell-All alone, without Karine, and he said he didn't care what anyone else thought about it because no one knew what was going on in his personal life."Me and Karine, we have our ups and our downs. At times you get frustrated and you fight, so it's complicated," Paul explained.
Paul, however, said he missed Karine and their son Pierre and always does when they are apart.
JENNY and SUMIT
Jenny missed Sumit going into the Tell-All. She wished Sumit had informed her that he was married because their relationship would've ended right then and there, but she said that's exactly why Sumit had lied to her in the first place.RELATED LINK: 'MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER?

RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOWJenny said Sumit was still under the control of his parents and family, and so if he couldn't call into the show, she'd be "devastated."
Jenny said she had been in a relationship with Sumit for seven years and never knew he was married.
The whole cast was shocked to find out Sumit was married when that episode aired on TLC.
TIFFANY and RONALD
Tiffany gave birth to her daughter Carley Rose just three weeks prior to the Tell-All.Tiffany said she and Ronald were still a family but life in the United States was "so much harder" than she ever could have anticipated without her husband by her side.
Tiffany wanted to see Ronald hold his daughter for the first time more than anything, and she said that was the most difficult part of not being with him.
Tiffany told the world love was still there between Ronald and herself and that's all a couple needs to survive. Ronald said he and Tiffany were making things work by having 12-hour phone calls.
Tiffany expressed, however, that it was hard to move to South Africa when she had her doubts about Ronald's previous gambling addiction and his past of criminal activity.

Evelin agreed Tiffany shouldn't have brought her son into a relationship where the man had a gambling addiction.
Ronald lost the audio of his video chat at one point during the criticism, and appeared to turn off and then restart his connection. However, it was unclear f he was just restarting his connection to fix his audio issue, or had turned it off in frustration.
"I lost my sh-t for a moment," Ronald said when he returned.
Ronald insisted he had made mistakes but rectified his mistakes for the sake of his family. Ronald said the only person's opinion he cared about was Tiffany's because he loved her.
Tiffany then explained her trust with Ronald had been tested just like Corey's trust in Evelin had been tested when she had cheated on him. Tiffany's comment shut both Evelin and Corey down, leaving them silent.
COREY and EVELIN
Corey had to appear on the Tell-All without Evelin because she no longer had a visa."It's hard for me to bring up anything that's happened in the past with Evelin because it always tends to cause problems that should have already been worked through, so it's something I'm working on," Corey told the cameras.
"It's hard to let Evelin's past go because it affected me so much."

Corey claimed Evelin wanted him to be ripped and have a six-pack or else she wouldn't want to marry him. When Corey's castmate Paul asked him what Evelin was doing for him in return, Corey simply said she'd agree to marry him.
Corey admitted he and Evelin were getting through obstacles together and he was still getting adjusted to life in Ecuador; however, he said they were doing well as a couple.

Corey told Shaun that he and Evelin were also "in the process" of planning a wedding and they'd probably marry within the next six months. Evelin, however, didn't seem as optimistic about that timeline.
Evelin admitted she wanted Corey to lose some weight before their wedding and he has "done nothing" to accomplish that goal.
"I was accepted for a six-month extended Tourist Visa, meaning, it gives us the extra time necessary to get the ball rolling with the marriage," Corey shared.
Evelin wasn't wearing her engagement ring for the Tell-All and said she had completely forgotten to put it on that morning. Corey was a little upset, but Evelin suggested no one should read into it.
Corey then opened up about how much money he had spent on Evelin during their relationship. When he revealed he had spent about $40,000-50,000 on Evelin, Jihoon joked to his castmates backstage, "Corey is rich!"
Corey noted he was down to less than $1,500 in his bank account. Corey had invested most of his money into Evelin's bar in Ecuador, but Evelin said if they ever split up, she should get the bar.

Corey, however, insisted Evelin meant everything to him and that's all that mattered.
Evelin was apparently used to men paying for everything for her due in Latin culture.
"Do you ever doubt Evelin's intentions?" Shaun asked Corey.
"I don't. It's not like she's hiding anything," Corey noted.

Corey said Evelin had hooked up with her ex during one of those breaks, but Evelin assured everyone that her ex showing up to Ecuador during that particular break was "just a coincidence."
"No, [I didn't know he was coming to town]," Evelin said.
"Are you sure about that though?" Corey asked his fiancee. "You didn't know he was coming?"
"Yeah, of course I am. Are you serious right now?" Evelin questioned.
"Corey, I'm not going to ask you to trust me because trust is something that you earn. So if you feel otherwise, you can always go find someone that you can feel more comfortable with."
Corey asked Evelin how exactly she viewed him in that moment, and she replied, "We're engaged."
Raul then joined the conversation at the Tell-All via video chat after a never-before-scene clip aired in which Raul admitted to Evelin he still had "hidden feelings" for her and was jealous seeing her with Corey.
Raul said the night they kissed -- which was before Evelin met Corey -- he had been hoping things would evolve romantically between them and that she felt something more for him.
Evelin called Raul "ridiculous" and reminded him that she loved Corey in the unaired footage.

"Evelin is my crush and I will always love her. Maybe one day Evelin and I will be here together in Engabao and then everything is going to be fine," Raul told the cameras.

"I don't know. I think I'll always admire her," Raul confessed to Corey.
Corey accused Raul of flirting with Evelin a lot, but Evelin said their fling was "in the past" and didn't really matter.
Corey, however, said Raul's feelings were not in the past and it appeared Raul was trying to break up his relationship with Evelin. Raul said he wanted Evelin and Corey to be together, but if they ever broke up, he hoped for a chance with Corey's fiancee.
Raul insisted he still respected Corey and Evelin as a couple and hoped to be Corey's best man in his wedding.
Evelin said her fling with Raul was very little and insignificant because all they did was kiss. But Raul admitted he didn't think Corey would last long in Ecuador, because after all of his time there, he still can't even order a water for himself.
Corey wasn't sure whether he could continue being Raul's friend after all of this. Raul said he was just being honest and didn't want to be blamed for being honest.
After the segment taped, Corey was pissed off and walked off the set. Corey said Raul should no longer call himself his friend and Raul "way overstepped his boundaries."
Corey didn't trust Raul and told the cameras there was probably no shot Raul would be the best man in his wedding anymore.
DEAVAN and JIHOON
Deavan admitted she felt like a child in South Korea because she had to rely on Jihoon for everything, such as driving her around and translating the language for her.RELATED LINK: 'DANCING WITH THE STARS' PROS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: WHO'S DATING OR MARRIED TO WHOM!? (PHOTOS)
Jihoon said Deavan was a sweetheart and a romantic person before moving to South Korea, but after the move, she became a realist.

LAURA and ALADIN
Laura revealed Aladin was still in Tunisia at the time and things hadn't been easy."I am nervous as to what may come out of his mouth. He has just text me saying, 'Nothing is ever good enough for you. You think you are a princess.' I have no idea what to expect from Aladin today. I am clueless," Laura said before the Tell-All began taping.
Laura had a hard time watching the other happy couples. No one apparently knew what she had been going through with Aladin, and she said the situation was very "embarrassing."
Aladin accused Laura of complaining about "everything," but he insisted she had everything in Qatar that she could need or want, including WiFi, which other Americans were lacking in their new countries.
Laura and Aladin got married nine days after their first in-person meeting, but the couple was shown going through with a traditional three-day ceremony in Tunisia on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.
"I thought I was in a pretty solid relationship because he was already my husband, but I didn't know what I was getting myself into -- at all," Laura said onstage.
Aladin acted like he was blindsided to hear Laura's statement.

Laura revealed she still had her "purple friend," but Aladin was sick of talking about that. Laura said she wasn't feeling 100 percent satisfied in bed, but Aladin wished she had told him that first instead of going out and buying a sex toy.
Aladin wanted to change the subject and accused Laura of disrespecting him in front of everybody by rolling her eyes at him.
Laura said Aladin had changed into a different person in the week prior to their Tell-All appearance.

Aladin admitted lots of "bad things" had happened in the past few days, and Laura added that Aladin wanted to break their commitment only six weeks after their traditional wedding in Tunisia.
"She make fights for no reason and I talk with her and she don't care. It's horrible. You disrespect me," Aladin alleged.
Laura couldn't even explain what had happened, but Aladin recalled how Laura grew angry with him for leaving her alone in their house for two or three hours.
Laura said she didn't like being alone because she was bored stiff and lonely in Qatar. During Aladin's time away, she apparently went out for a coffee and Aladin was mad she didn't inform anyone of where she was going first.
Laura pointed out she couldn't communicate with anyone because she doesn't speak Arabic, but Aladin said a woman disappearing is disrespectful in his culture.
"You're saying I'm disrespectful because I went to get a coffee?" Laura vented.
Aladin said Laura should have called or texted him first and she ignored his phone calls. Laura didn't like how she wasn't allowed to do things.
Laura said she cared about Aladin and was fighting for their marriage, but Aladin argued she was just fighting for herself. Aladin was apparently tired of giving Laura second and third chances.
"I'm your husband. You need to talk to me before you do any, something," Aladin yelled.
Laura and Aladin also fought over money and who paid the rent. Laura revealed she had run out of money and couldn't pay the rent anymore, and Aladin was angry because he had spent all of his money on their wedding.
"She don't care about me," Aladin noted.

Shaun asked Laura whether her marriage was really ending, and Laura said she didn't want to break up but Aladin was threatening to end the commitment they had made to each other just six weeks ago.
"Aladin, did you tell Laura you want a divorce?" Shaun asked.
Aladin let out a sigh and didn't answer, but the episode ended there on a cliffhanger.
