LGBTIQ Youth Support Center DDing Dong, also known as DDing Dong, provides counseling and support to LGBTIQ youth facing crisis situations. Our goal is to help them achieve self-respect based on their gender identity and sexual orientation, and lead autonomous lives. DDing Dong is committed to the comprehensive support of counseling, crisis intervention, and empowerment.
Korea is a culturally conservative society; therefore, heterosexism and homophobia are prevalent in the homes, schools, religious centers, and streets. Consequently, LGBTQ teens are very likely to be in danger of emotional, verbal, and sometimes physical abuse/violence. As a result, they face psychological problems such as depression, low self-esteem, and high risk of committing suicide. Despite the demand, there are no free counseling centers, hotlines, or shelters in Korea for the LGBTQ teens.
