Abstract

This study aims to examine the difficulties of emotional adaptation experienced by multicultural youth that are rapidly increasing in Korean society and to help solve them.
 Methods: This study will examine the various emotional difficulties they face through the three narratives of the characters in Daniel's book. We will also seek solutions to the emotional difficulties of multicultural youth through the convergent application of literary therapy (narrative therapy) methods, Gadamer's hermeneutic methods, and hermeneutic phenomenology with psychological emotions.
 Results: The food rejection and the king's test narrative in Danielle 1 was related to self-positivity and optimism emotions also related to stress and health. Azariah's prayer narrative overcame the fear of death by healthy emotional resources such as 'high spirituality and resilience, self-regulation and persistence'. Susana's narrative showed that even in high-stress or hopeless trauma situations, people with healthy emotions bring post-traumatic growth, and post-traumatic growth is a virtuous cycle of more desirable emotional adaptation.
 Conclusions: The various techniques of hermeneutic application of Daniel's narrative will help multicultural youth find their own solutions and self-understanding of the emotional difficulties they face entering Korean society today.
