Yoo Tae-woong sparks conflict in 'A Trap Called Desire' by delaying daughter's marriage

A new clip from the KBS drama 'A Trap Called Desire' has been released, capturing a tense moment where Yoo Tae-woong prioritizes business achievements over his daughter's marriage requests.

The Gap Between Business Success and Marriage

In the footage from 'A Trap Called Desire,' Yoo reveals his ambitious business goals to his daughter, aiming to transition a new brand into the global market. Yoo explains to the planning director the significant value Cheongma has invested, noting that the investment spans from overseas studies to the director's current position. He emphasizes that the value of these investments is as substantial as the capital poured into the new brand. Yoo maintains that discussing marriage is premature, as the business has only just begun to break even. He insists that they must achieve returns that exceed their initial investment to ensure profitability, effectively making business success a prerequisite for marriage.

A Father Delaying Marriage vs. an Anxious Daughter

As Yoo continues to delay the marriage citing the need for business stability, his daughter expresses intense frustration. In the video, she recalls a promise that once the new brand launch is complete, a marriage arrangement would be made for her brother. She expresses concern that waiting for the brand to become firmly established might cause them to miss the window for marriage. Emphasizing her urgency, the daughter notes that her 'season' is rapidly running out. She also challenges her father's shifting stance, questioning why his previous promises regarding the brand launch are no longer being honored.

Maintaining a cold and business-oriented demeanor, Yoo responds to his daughter's urgency by saying, "Really? If you're that desperate, Hye-ra, you should find another marriage partner too." The daughter reacts with annoyance, exclaiming, "This is so frustrating," as she demands to know why he continues to stall. Meanwhile, the clip also shows the planning director outlining the strategy to establish Shu Joy as a global brand following its domestic market debut.
