ABSTRACT

This study redefines the crisis of youth isolation in South Korea’s achievement society as social disability caused by systemic barriers rather than individual pathology. It argues that this phenomenon represents a crisis of life force that secular functional models cannot fully capture. Drawing on Jürgen Moltmann’s theology of life, the research emphasizes that human worth resides in being rather than doing, utilizing the concepts of Perichoresis and Zimzum to design spaces of hospitality. Based on these foundations, the study proposes a stepped hospitality model, transposing the systemic insights of Australia’s Head to Health platform into a theological framework. This model guides individuals from a digital sanctuary of unconditional acceptance through loose online fellowship toward integration into a physical faith community. Ultimately, this approach redefines digital space as a sacral bridge, inviting those excluded by performance-driven standards into the fullness of Trinitarian fellowship.
