The purpose of this paper is to provide intercultural pastoral counseling for Korean PKs who experience shame. This study focuses on degrees of Korean PKs’s shame experiences, challenges by cultural differences in counseling. Intercultural pastoral counseling toward Korean PKs is the approach that is to understand the importance of different cultures, to respect the unique relationships that exist between Korean PKs and their culture within which they are formed. In this study, I explored psychological and pastoral theological perspectives of shame in order to understand Korean PKs’ shame experience through interviewing three Korean adults who were children of Korean pastors. Through the study from psychological and pastoral theological perspectives about shame, I see that the relationship between parent and children provides a very important basis for shame. The negative experiences of shame in PK are based on the unempathic attitudes of their parents and their congregations. When we understand shame in the relationship between parent and children, shame is reconstructed and our theology which brings about shame also can be revised. When parents use empathy toward their child and when congregations use empathy toward PK, PK can be less stressful and happier. When our pastoral theology attempts to understand human beings before judging them, our sinful or shameful feelings can be lessened. When many Korean PKs showed inappropriate behaviors and thought, they often blamed themselves because of the important interrelationship between their behavior and their families. When Korean PKs are recognized by others positively, they seemed to believe that their behavior and thought are helpful and appropriated. For the same reason, they also experience shame when they believe that certain of their behaviors were not appropriated to maintain their father’s face. In order to provide effective counseling for Korean PKs, intercultural counseling try to appreciate value and differences of Korean PKs by which they are unique.
