Inclusive education has received much attention globally in relation to ensuring equal opportunities in learning for all students with diverse special needs. This systematic review explores the roles and challenges of counseling teachers in inclusive education through an analysis of 21 research articles. The results show that counseling teachers play an important role in emotional and academic support, development of individualized education plans, collaboration among stakeholders, and crisis management in an inclusive environment. Inadequate training, limited resources, heavy caseloads and systemic barriers hinder their implementation. Bk teachers identified targeted professional development, integration of assistive technology, and improved policies and resources as prerequisites to overcome these challenges. The current study demonstrates the importance of holistic and interdisciplinary methods to empower counseling teachers in building the supportive platforms needed to develop inclusive practices. Its findings add to actionable strategies and policy developments that can be established to improve inclusive education systems worldwide.

This study focuses on K-Pop fanaticism and its impact on the development of adolescent self-identity, with a particular focus on gender differences. The aim of this study is to examine how adolescents' involvement in K-Pop fandom influences their identity formation and its implications for self-development through personal counseling services. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review of articles in the Scopus database (2015–2024). The results of the study indicate that adolescents' involvement in K-Pop fandom can shape social and personal identities, but also pose risks such as excessive fanaticism and gender role distortion. Gender differences influence how adolescents internalize fandom culture, which directly impacts the dynamics of their self-development. These findings highlight the importance of personal guidance services that are responsive to popular cultural phenomena and sensitive to gender issues in order to support healthy and balanced adolescent identity development.
