A friend's story -
A former gay friend hooked up with a Korean guy a few year ago.
The guy went to his apartment, made him get on his knees and beg for him NOT to out him.
He made my former friend give him money and humiliated him for fun.
This incident traumatized him for a long time.
Korea says "there are no gays in South Korea" but my former gay friend has been in several same sex relationships with Korean men for over ten years. The gay apps are active and there are several clubs where they can meet safely without fear of violence.
None of the relationships were ever openly expressed in public.
There is a fear of job loss, also, if someone is outed.
