ROK crackdown on gay sex in the army

The South Korean Army seems to be cracking down on gay sex, judging by this article. The campaign includes the use of social media to secure evidence. Excerpt:
Growing evidence of an alleged investigation into homosexual acts in the South Korean army including images of conversations on gay dating app Jack’d between service members and secret service agents is causing an uproar, with some human rights groups calling for the army general accused of giving the order to track down gay soldiers to step down. 
Captured images of conversations on the dating app show one user opening up a dialogue in an ordinary manner, which then leads to a series of questions in an attempt to identify and track down the other party involved. 
In an audio file of a conversation recorded during an interrogation, investigators were heard verbally threatening the accused soldier, asking personal questions such as “what would your parents think if they found out?” 
One lieutenant whose name is being withheld was charged earlier this week with breaching the country’s military laws, after a video surfaced on social media allegedly depicting him engaged in sexual intercourse with another man.
