Reclusive young people are becoming a serious social issue in South Korea. In 2024, around 537,000 people in South Korea did not leave their homes for six months or more. Experts say this problem is not rare and that the number of socially withdrawn youth is increasing. These young adults avoid school, work and social activities. This often stems from stress with school, pressure to find a job, repeated failure, or mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. Over time, they lose confidence and feel afraid of meeting other people. Some feel shame because they think they do not meet society’s expectations. As their isolation continues, they lose daily routines and social skills which makes it even harder to return to normal life. Many young adults want to change but don’t know how to start. Please pray that these young people will receive the understanding and long-term support they need. Pray for missionaries as they host trauma healing meetings online and in person. Pray that missionaries will show empathy and compassion. Please pray that young people in Seoul will feel the unconditional love of Christ through their interactions with these missionaries.
