"Let me just say one thing. I always want to see my son. You don't [know] how I feel. I don't want to speak English anymore. Will you stop this childish social media fight?" Jihoon asked.
Not long afterward, Jihoon posted a lengthy message to his followers and 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way fans on his Instagram account.
Jihoon posted a cute photo of Taeyang and added the following hashtags: "jihoonlee90ty
#90dayfiance #90dayfiancetheotherway #tlc."
Jihoon went on to write, "I can't speak all my feelings in English. You see me as a fool. Now I think of him every day. But I can't see him right now, so I spend the day focusing on other things. The reality is terrible. I know all this sh-t."
Jihoon confirmed last month his relationship with Deavan is over and Deavan has a new Korean boyfriend, who is believed to be Christopher "Topher" Park, a Korean-American actor who was born in Los Angeles.
"Like he's going to have a new father. Do you know how it feels? My heart is always breaking," Jihoon wrote on Thursday.
"It happened without my knowledge. There's no divorce on paper right now. Do you really know how it feels? Someone's gonna tell me."
Deavan, who is also mom to five-year-old daughter Drascilla from a previous relationship, just posted a photo of a man -- who is believed to be her new boyfriend -- holding Taeyang in his arms Wednesday on Instagram, and the man and her son were wearing matching red plaid shirts and jeans.

Deavan cropped the man's head out of the picture as to not reveal his identity, but she made it clear she has "moved on" from Jihoon because he had allegedly done something "evil" that "can never be forgiven."

"Don't pretend to be a victim," Jihoon continued in his response to Deavan's allegations, using similar language to what Deavan had used.
"I never did that. I'm just a normal person. It's been a while since I've seen Instagram, and it's so stupid. I just want to focus on myself right now. I'd like to forget the pain. I'm tired of speaking English."
Earlier this week, Deavan also accused Jihoon of deleting their family from his memory and putting herself, Taeyang and Drascilla in "danger."
Deavan teased fans must "wait 'till the Tell-All" to find out the awful things Jihoon had allegedly done to her, referring to 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's second-season Tell-All, which won't air until the fall.
Similar to what Deavan had told her followers, Taeyang wrote on Instagram, "Everyone, just watch all the results at tell all. 'Did you forget your son?' Don't ask me that stupid question. I'm human too. I'm not psychopath."
Jihoon added, "And she said she showed him to me in December and every summer. Yeah, we talk to the translator. But I don't think she knows what I really mean. And I don't want to get involved in their lives. So I blocked them all. So extreme, but that's how I organize my mind-set."

Deavan has questioned 90 Day Fiance fans on why they're giving her a hard time and "attacking" her and her parenting skills when she believes Jihoon is to blame for their problems.
Deavan also seems furious Jihoon was allegedly looking for sympathy from his Instagram followers last month.
"I want [to] be [Taeyang's] father. [Deavan says] I can see Taeyang every summer or December. I just feel so sick and lonely. Just, I want [to] talk to anything, anyone," Jihoon previously said on Instagram, according to In Touch Weekly.
"It feels like, just [a] dream. Feels like [a] dream right now, this all happened. Just [a] dream. I can't believe this situation. I hope this situation [is] just [a] dream."
Deavan reportedly wrote on Twitter in August she had "moved back" to the United States for a "horrible reason."
"[The] truth will come out eventually," Deavan wrote in a since-deleted tweet, according to In Touch.
"You all really believe everything you see on TV," she added. "You guys don't know the truth or half of it."

Deavan also previously vented on Instagram Stories about how 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way viewers know very little about her struggles in 2020, suggesting her relationship with Jihoon had been on the rocks for months prior to their split.
"If you guys only knew the disgusting things that happened this year off camera," Deavan wrote.
"If you knew everything going on in this very moment. Knew what I'm doing and going through, the scars that happen this year. Enjoy the show. #90dayfiance."
Jihoon and Deavan currently star on Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way on TLC. At the beginning of the season, Deavan was shown in a "flash forward" segment waiting out the coronavirus pandemic while living in South Korea.

But speculation began to swirl that Deavan and Jihoon's relationship was over when she reportedly returned to the United States with her children in May.
Deavan's mother Elicia, however, led fans to believe there wasn't trouble in paradise.

Elicia revealed on social media in late July that Deavan was just visiting America with her two kids and got "stuck" in Utah due to COVID-19 while Jihoon remains in South Korea.
"She is visiting here, but the travel restrictions have forced her to be here longer," Elicia reportedly wrote, adding, "[Deavan and Drascilla] are stuck here until travel restrictions are lessened because of the virus."
But it now appears Elicia was just trying to create a cover story to avoid 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way spoilers on the current status of Deavan and Jihoon's relationship.
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's second season has shown Deavan repeatedly forgiving Jihoon for his mistakes and trying to make a life work with him in South Korea.
Not only did Jihoon lie to Deavan about having a lot of money saved for his family, but he was also dishonest about working a full-time, high-paying job. Jihoon's lack of parenting skills with Drascilla and Taeyang only added to the couple's issues.
Deavan decided to give Jihoon a second chance under the expectation he would find a permanent apartment for them to live, make and save money, and better support and provide for his family.
"All of the actions you have done show me that you don't want a family life," Deavan told her husband in a recent 90 Day Fiance broadcast. "If you want to have your freedom, you can have your freedom."
"You guys are more important to me," Jihoon replied, referring to Drascilla and Taeyang. "I'll become a better dad because I really love you guys."

Deavan has lashed out at people criticizing her parenting skills, or alleged lack thereof, and excusing Jihoon's actions, like when he let go of Drascilla's hand at a playground and allowed her to run towards a street.
Jihoon recently asked trolls to leave Deavan and Elicia alone, saying, "They're probably having a harder time than I am. I heard that Elicia and Drascilla [are] under threat of murder. It is 100% wrong. I am begging you guys, I just want peace."
