Yoo Tae-woong expresses distrust based on Jeon Hye-won's past... Conflict intensifies in 'A Trap Called Desire'

In the KBS drama 'A Trap Called Desire', patterns of deepening distrust and conflict among the characters are emerging. According to the video related to the broadcast on September 18, 2026, the footage captures the confrontation among characters regarding the management and on-site inspection plans of the scholarship foundation, along with Yoo Tae-woong questioning a specific individual's past.

Differences in opinion regarding the scholarship foundation's on-site inspection plan

The characters in the video are seen sharing opinions regarding the management direction of the Cheongma Scholarship Foundation and whether to conduct an on-site inspection. One character mentioned the necessity of an on-site inspection, citing differences in operation based on program completion and demand. In response, an argument was raised that the Cheongma Scholarship Foundation should not become a publicity tool for the Cheongma Group. The logic is that even if the entire group operates with business acumen, the foundation at least must operate based on the foundation's ideology and social values. Along with this, concerns were also raised regarding the impact that an inspection might have on the corporate image at a time when the scholarship business has not been finalized, just before the launch of three brands. The discussion leads toward coordinating the inspection schedule.

Jeon Hye-won's past and Yoo Tae-woong's distrust

Separate from the discussion on foundation management, remarks questioning Jeon Hye-won's past actions emerge among the characters. In the video, Yoo Tae-woong shows an attitude of being unable to trust Jeon Hye-won by mentioning her past. Yoo Tae-woong cited Jeon Hye-won's history of what happened with Hera during her high school years, and her history of spending 10 years in prison after being falsely accused of murdering her mother. Yoo Tae-woong made remarks to the effect that one cannot know what Jeon Hye-won harbors inside, given that she lived in a harsh and rough environment. Meanwhile, voices of concern were also included regarding the fact that Jeon Hye-won trusts people too easily and lacks caution.

Preemptive moves to control the board of directors

The flow of conflict leads to movements to seize the initiative in the foundation's management. In the video, instructions are confirmed to set the stage in advance so that opposing votes can be overwhelmingly produced ahead of the board of directors' vote. A plan to influence the operation of the board of directors by calling board members separately to contact them quietly is mentioned, revealing the process of the characters in the drama moving to seize control of the foundation's decision-making structure.
