Jihoon took to Instagram earlier this week and posted three photos of an elevator moving truck parked outside of his high-rise apartment building in South Korea.
"Moving day," Jihoon, 29, captioned the slideshow.
In two of the photos, movers can be seen using a huge ladder-lift to retrieve Jihoon's possessions through the window of his apartment.
Jihoon did not reveal whether he's moving into a new place of his own or back into his parents' home. The latter wouldn't be a big surprise considering Jihoon revealed he's financially unstable and in debt on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.
It could be the apartment Jihoon shared with Deavan when they were living in South Korea together.
Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way on TLC featured Deavan in a "flash forward" segment waiting out the coronavirus pandemic while living in South Korea. She appeared to be in a tall apartment building at the time.
The footage filmed earlier this year, around February or March, and was seemingly originally intended for TLC's 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined spinoff, which aired on TLC this past spring.

But speculation began to swirl that Deavan and Jihoon's relationship was over when she reportedly returned to the United States with her children, infant son Taeyang and five-year-old daughter Drascilla, in May.
Deavan's mother 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 remained 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 Deavan and Jihoon were already broken up by then and Elicia felt the need to come up with a cover story in order to avoid 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way spoilers about the current status of her daughter's relationship.
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 Weekly.
"You all really believe everything you see on TV," she added. "You guys don't know the truth or half of it."
Deavan also vented on her Instagram Stories at that time about how 90 Day Fiance 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.

Deavan has since moved on with a new Korean boyfriend who is believed to be Christopher "Topher" Park, a Korean-American actor who was born in Los Angeles.
After Deavan posted a photo on her Instagram Stories with a mystery man, Jihoon confirmed in late August his relationship with Deavan is over and she now has a new boyfriend.
Last week, Deavan posted a photo of a man holding Taeyang in his arms on Instagram, and the man -- presumably Deavan's new boyfriend -- 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 no future with Jihoon because he allegedly did something "evil" that "can never be forgiven."
Deavan accused Jihoon of wanting "nothing to do" with Taeyang, deleting their family from his memory, calling her "degrading, vile names," 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.
But Jihoon fired back at Deavan on social media late last week.

"I always want to see my son. You don't [know] how I feel... Will you stop this childish social media fight?... 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," Jihoon wrote.
Seemingly mentioning Deavan's new man, Jihoon added, "He's going to have a new father. Do you know how it feels? My heart is always breaking. It happened without my knowledge. There's no divorce on paper right now."
Jihoon owned up to blocking Deavan but insisted he'd never forget about or stop loving his son.
In addition, Jihoon accused Deavan of playing the victim on Instagram, which is the same thing Deavan had previously claimed about her estranged husband. (Deavan also said Jihoon wanted sympathy from his followers that he doesn't deserve any).

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."
Many 90 Day Fiance fans have taken a side in Deavan and Jihoon's breakup, with Deavan revealing she and her mother have received hateful messages on social media in regards to Drascilla and how she's been raised.
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."
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way aired its mid-season finale last week and will return to TLC on Sunday, October 11.
