Island Investigations on Club Drugs Last month, a drug trafficking and distribution network involved in selling drugs such as Ecstasy and Ketamine in karaoke bars and foreigner-exclusive clubs in South (경상) Gyeongsang Province was apprehended by the Coast Guard. Amidst a series of drug crimes occurring in clubs and bars nationwide, a similar drug offender has been arrested in Jeju as well. A man in his 30s, identified as Mr. A, who was formerly affiliated with a club, has been arrested last month on suspicion of possessing dozens of Ecstasy pills and consuming them. Jeju District Prosecutor's Office has indicted Mr. A on charges of drug possession and consumption, and they have also announced that they are conducting supplementary investigations into individuals who were involved in drug consumption with him. Ecstasy, a new type of drug, is known as a "club drug" as it is primarily consumed by young people. It has a hallucinogenic effect that is three times stronger than that of methamphetamine. INTERVIEW Jo Gwang-won / Jeju Office, Korean Society of Drug Abuse Ecstasy is known to produce hallucinogenic effects that can induce a significant elevation in mood. It is indeed a drug that is commonly used by young people. The Jeju Provincial Police Agency has stated that this case is unrelated to clubs, and it is difficult to disclose specific details regarding the case, including the specific charges, as the investigation is still ongoing. According to the Korea Customs Service, the amount of newly identified drugs seized last year was 260 kg, which is more than a tenfold increase compared to two years ago. Among them, the quantity of Ecstasy seizures increased by seven times during the same period. With the recent arrest of an Ecstasy drug offender in Jeju, there is growing interest in whether the crimes are linked to related industries, as seen in nationwide cases, rather than being isolated incidents of individual crimes. The investigation results regarding any potential spread of crime to associated sectors have garnered significant attention. 제주에도 클럽 마약?…경찰 수사 확대 지난 달 경남에 있는 노래주점과 외국인 전용 클럽 등에서 엑스터시와 케타민 등 마약류를 판매한 판매책과 유통 조직이 해경에 검거됐습니다. 전국적으로 클럽이나 술집에서 마약 범죄가 잇따르는 가운데 제주에서도 유사 마약 사범이 검거됐습니다. 모 클럽 관계자였던 30대 A 씨가 지난 달 엑스터시 수십 정을 소지하고 투약한 혐의로 구속됐습니다. 제주지검은 A 씨를 마약류 소지와 투약 혐의로 구속 기소했고 함께 투약한 이들에 대해서도 보완 수사를 진행하고 있다고 밝혔습니다. 엑스터시는 필로폰보다 환각 작용이 3배나 큰 신종 마약류로 젊은 층이 주로 투약하면서 일명 클럽용 마약으로도 알려졌습니다. <인터뷰 : 고광언/ 한국마약범죄학회 제주지회장> 엑스터시를 투약하면 환각작용을 일으켜서 기분이 아주 상승되는 효과를 누리는 마약으로 알려지고 있습니다. 젊은 사람들이 많이 이용하는 마약으로 보면 되겠습니다. 제주경찰청은 이번 사건은 클럽과는 무관하다면서도 구체적인 혐의점 등은 수사가 진행 중이여서 밝히기 어렵다고 전했습니다. 지난해 관세청이 적발한 신종 마약류는 260kg으로 2년 전보다 10배 이상 급증했습니다. 이 가운데 엑스터시 적발 물량은 같은 기간 7배나 늘었습니다. 제주에서도 엑스터시 마약 사범이 검거된 가운데 개인의 단순 범죄가 아닌 전국 사례처럼 연관 업종으로 범죄가 퍼졌을지 수사 결과에 관심이 모아지고 있습니다.

  • Provincial marketing support merged
  • Provincial marketing support merged One department now handles international and domestic marketing The provincial government has merged its domestic and international marketing support systems. The Jeju Business Agency says it will adjust its operations in line with the province’s updated policies. Until this change, the provincial trade policy department was in charge of marketing for overseas exports, and the business support department was in charge of dealing with domestic marketing. People often complained about that system, saying it was inefficient. Those complaints are what prompted the merger. 제주기업 국내외 마케팅 통합 지원 그동안 제각각 운영돼 적지 않은 불편과 문제점을 낳았던 국내 마케팅과 해외 수출 지원업무가 통합 관리됩니다. 제주특별자치도는 이번 조직개편에 맞춰 기업에 대한 국내외 마케팅 지원을 '기업통상지원과'에서 일원화하기로 했습니다. 또 제주도경제통상진흥원 역시 제주도의 마케팅 정책과 연계해 국내외 판로지원을 통합운영하기로 했습니다. 지금까지 해외수출의 경우 제주도 통상정책과에서, 국내판로는 기업지원과에서 운영함으로써 효율성이 떨어진다는 지적을 받아왔습니다.

  • Chinese traveler arrested for assault at Jeju Airport Man without visa attempted to board flight to Seoul Officers from Jeju Seobu Police Station have arrested a thirty-year-old Chinese man surnamed “Heo” for assaulting an immigration officer at Jeju International Airport. The incident took place on the 15th, when the man tried to board a flight to Seoul from Jeju without a visa. He was told that Jeju is the only region in Korea for which visa-free travel is allowed and he was denied permission to board the flight. This reportedly angered the man, who eventually disrupted airport operations by hitting the immigration officer and kicking his chair. 제주공항서 행패부린 30대 중국인 구속 제주서부경찰서는 지난 15일 제주국제공항에서 출입국관리사무소 직원에게 폭력을 휘두른 중국인 30살 허 모 씨를 체포해 공무집행 방해 혐의로 구속했습니다. 경찰에 따르면 허 씨는 무사증으로 제주에 입국해 국내선 항공편을 타고 김포공항에 가려다 '무비자로 다른 지방에 갈 수 없다'고 설명하는 출입국 관리사무소 직원 40살 박 모 씨를 때리고 의자를 발로 차며 행패를 부린 혐의를 받고 있습니다.

  • KCTV: 6th Revision of Jeju Special Law
  • The province has recently submitted to the provincial council a bill with 75 proposals for the sixth revision of the Jeju Special Law, which is the legal basis for the island's semi-autonomous status. The council is reviewing the proposals this week. Mike Laidman reports. [slug] Finalized: 75 proposals for 6th revision of Jeju Special Law With the exception of foreign affairs, national defense and jurisdiction, Jeju was granted special autonomy as a regional government in 2006 through the Jeju Special Law. In fact, 4,875 areas of legislation have been transferred to Jeju through five revisions of the law. The province has recently submitted a bill with 75 proposals for the sixth revision of the law to the provincial council. Unlike the previous revisions, which focused on investment promotion and local economic growth, the sixth revision emphasizes environmental conservation and balanced economic growth. Local authorities want to be able to regulate housing prices and restrict the immediate resale of new property for profit through the revision. The proposals include a clause that gives the provincial government the right to raise the percentage of earnings casinos must pay in tourism promotion taxes from the current 10 percent to 20 percent. The provincial government also added a clause that caps the total number of rental cars and buses. INTERVIEW Jo Sang-beom / Provincial government representative The proposals focus on environmental protection and balanced economic growth in line with the island’s declared “future values” of cleanliness and coexistence. <인터뷰: 조상범/ 道 특별자치제도추진단장> "제주도가 청정·공존을 미래가치로 했기 때문에 여기에 맞춘 환경문제, 경제에 있어서 균형성장문제 이런 부분들이 중심이 된다고 보면 됩니다." [slug] Standing committee to review proposals The proposals will be assessed by the relevant standing committee at the provincial council in its upcoming sessions this week. [slug] Article 1 and international college proposals: controversial? Proposals that allow international profit-making corporations to have a college on the island and which partially revise Article 1 (the purpose of the Jeju Special Law) are expected to draw controversy. The provincial council will likely point out that the Jeju Free International City Development Center, under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, should move to the island. INTERVIEW Go Chung-hong / Provincial council member The council will classify the proposals by issue, and each standing committee will carefully assess them for the better welfare and quality of life for islanders. <인터뷰: 고충홍/ 제주도의회 행정차지위원장> "의회에서는 각 상임위원회 별로 안건을 분류해서 신중하게 검토해나가겠습니다. 도민들의 복리증진, 삶의질 향상이 되는 제도개선안이 되도록..." [camera] Moon Ho-seong [reporter] Mike Laidman The province is planning to submit the proposals to the National Assembly during the latter half of next year. People are now waiting for the reviewed results to be released by the provincial council. Mike Laidman, KCTV
