As loneliness has emerged as a social issue, more countries are intervening in the loneliness of their people at the national level. Meanwhile, studies have been steadily increasing in a situation where no conceptual consensus has been reached on loneliness, and similar concepts are used conceptually undifferentiated. The purpose of this study is to examine the major theories of loneliness, to examine the unique loneliness that Koreans experience, and to review the most used measures of loneliness. First, theoretical perspectives (social needs, cognitive, existential-phenomenological, and interactionistic approach) were integrally examined, confirming that loneliness consists of relational deficiencies, subjective assessment, painful emotions, and contextual factors. Second, loneliness is conceptually distinct from solitude, isolation, alienation, and dissatisfaction with relationships by two dimensions of choice and perception. Third, Koreans are more likely to experience collective, other-oriented, and fusional loneliness. Based on these results, we critically analyzed the measures of loneliness.
