AB - The purpose of this research was to deeply understand the experiences of youth school dropouts who are addicted to internet games. By result of this study, we hope counselors, teachers, church leaders and parents would understand these youth and gain basic information on how to intervene. For proper analysis, the researchers interviewed 4 male youth school dropouts, who were addicted to internet games, collected data, and further analyzed it by using Giorgi's phenomenological method. Through this analysis, the researchers were able to find 17 themes, then narrowed it down to five core elements. The five core components that the researchers discovered were ‘Inevitable pressure from reality’, ‘Enjoying the freedom to the full’, ‘Emptiness controlled by desire’, ‘Misery of addiction reality’, and ‘Struggling for change.’ The implications for Biblical counseling in regard to Internet game addiction for school dropouts youth were 'Facing their false ego revealed in the fantasy of a self-fulfilling life'. This results of this study gave opportunities those who care for youths in counseling field or church to recognize their limited capability and hope for salvation from God. Conclusively, researchers discussed the meanings behind the internet game addiction experiences of youth school dropouts and implications that can further help youth who are addicted to Internet games.
