Deavan Clegg and her boyfriend Topher Park stepped out for Halloween in matching couple’s costumes that saw 90 Day Fiancé fans dragging the former 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star. Deavan hasn’t been shy about her relationship with Topher Park despite the fact that she is still legally married to her estranged South Korean husband Jihoon Lee. Deavan and Topher hopped on a popular Halloween costume trend this year, though 90 Day Fiancé fans questioned Deavan’s choice to dress up as a Korean character.
Deavan’s relationship with Jihoon was riddled with red flags. Though Jihoon was immature, Deavan and her mother Elicia were blasted for being emotionally and verbally abusive to Deavan’s husband. Their split saw Deavan taking her and Jihoon’s son back to the US and playing house with her new Korean boyfriend Topher Park, despite Jihoon making it clear that he wanted to be a father to his son. Deavan is known for starting drama online and antagonizing other reality TV stars. She is also known for her uncomfortable obsession with all things Korean. This has led to viewers questioning if Deavan fetishizes Korean culture, as her behavior in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise and on social media seems to suggest she does.
Reddit user U/Purple_Lane shared images of Deavan from her @deavanclegg Instagram with the caption, "She wants to be korean so badly." Deavan and Topher dressed up as characters from the South Korean Netflix show Squid Game. Though the costumes themselves were not offensive to fans, many were annoyed with Deavan's fixation on all things Korean. One user called Deavan out for only having a superficial interest in Korean culture. "*but only pop culture Korean, none of this traditions and actually being in Korea business 🙄," one top commenter wrote. "And it is absolutely disgusting. People like her will reduce the human they are dating to their racial traits. So superficial its maddening," an angry commenter wrote back.
One of the most troubling aspects of Deavan's photos audiences often call out is her editing. Deavan has been blasted numerous times for her extreme photo edits, and she has also been called out in the past for editing herself to appear Korean. "Sis that ain’t your face," one commenter wrote to the mother. Others slammed her for potentially fetishizing Korean culture and people. Many franchise fans find Deavan behaves disrespectfully when it comes to her obsession with all things Korean. "I don’t think she wants to be a Korean, I think she wants to be an American in Korean and for people to think she is exotic and different. I think she fetishes Korean culture and how it could 'benefit' her," one commenter wrote.
Deavan’s problematic behavior is perhaps one reason why she has left the franchise since her season of The Other Way. The American is currently raising her two children from different fathers with Topher, while Jihoon is rumored to be saving up money for a legal battle over custody of their son. However, Deavan and Topher’s relationship appears to be going strong. The couple made their red carpet debut together in Las Vegas last week and often share content on social media together, including YouTube vlogs. Though Deavan is finished in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, she has hinted at a comeback of some sorts in the future.
