Maybe relatives in the North they were holding hostage?
That is a very good theory. I seriously doubt there is anything of material value the NorKs could offer a Major General in the South Korean army to spy for them, but if there was a threat of torture and/or death made against relatives, that would be a powerful incentive.
Then again, if Pyongyang offered some of these goodies, who could possibly resist the lure?
