“According to campaign group the Military Human Rights Center for Korea (MHRCK), General Jang Jun-kyu, army chief of staff in South Korea, launched a “track-down process” to find and out suspected gay personell.

This included setting up fake profiles on dating apps to track down soldiers and expose them. The process is thought to have identified 50 soldiers, 20 of whom now face charges under the country’s military anti-homosexuality laws.

Multiple soldiers have reported being outed and punished as part of the hunt, according to the group.”
