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.

  • KCTV: Film Focus
  • It’s nearly the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. It’s the calm before the storm; a lull in big pictures to give us all time to breathe and digest what we’ve seen so far this summer, a time to enjoy some smaller movies before heading back into the action blockbusters. This week sees the opening of Born to Be Blue, a biopic about jazz legend Chet Baker. In much the same vein is Race, opening next week, and based off of American track legend Jesse Owens. Both these movies deserve your attention if you’re in the mood for something a little more story-driven this weekend. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Born to Be Blue (2016, Robert Budreau) A re-imagining of Baker's musical comeback in the late '60s. Born to Be Blue is a look at the life of jazz trumpeter and vocalist Chet Baker. Ethan Hawke stars as the lead, and truly lights up the screen as Chet, a musician whose tumultuous life is reimagined with wit and style. In the 1950s, Baker was one of the most famous trumpeters in the world, renowned as a pioneer of the West Coast jazz scene. By the 1960s, he was all but washed up, his career and personal life in shambles due to years of heroin addiction. Director Robert Budreau zeroes in on Baker's life at a key moment in the 1960s, just as the musician attempts to stage a hard-fought comeback, spurred in part by a passionate romance with a new flame. Blending fact with fiction and driven by an excellent performance by Hawke, Born to Be Blue unfolds with the style and improvisation of great jazz. [Slug CG] Race (2016, Stephen Hopkins) Owens faces off against Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy. Race is based on the true story of Jesse Owens, the legendary athletic superstar whose quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrust him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics. Here, he faced off against Adolf Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy. Race is a story of courage, determination, tolerance, and friendship, and an inspiring drama about one man's fight to become an Olympic legend. Stephan James gives an inspiring performance as Owens, but the story could delve a little deeper into the history and what Owens achieved during his fight both in America and overseas. It is, however, a difficult feat to cover all the historical, biographical, athletic, and political bases that are present, but what Race does, it does well.

  • Crackdown on illegal sale of apartment ownership rights
  • Crackdown on illegal sale of apartment ownership rights Violators face prison, hefty fines Next week, the provincial government will crack down on the illegal resale of unit ownership rights in the new apartment complex under construction in the Jeju Science Park. Officials will dispatch a special squad on May 23rd, when contract signing begins, to monitor the people who were granted rights to the units in the new apartment complex. Critics say the squad will be ineffective because the officials will be wearing easily-recognizable uniforms. Resale of the rights to the units is banned by law for one year. Violators can receive up to three years in prison or a 30-million-won fine. 제주시, '꿈에그린' 분양권 불법거래 강력 단속 제주시가 첨단과기단지 꿈에그린 아파트 분양권 불법거래를 특별 단속합니다. 제주시는 꿈에그린 아파트 분양과 관련해 투기과열이 우려됨에 따라 계약체결일인 오는 23일부터 25일까지 특별단속반을 투입해 불법행위를 강력 단속합니다. 특히 전매제한 기간내 분양권 전매행위와 떳다방 불법행위에 대해서는 형사고발할 방침입니다. 그러나 현장에 투입되는 단속반은 조끼와 완장을 착용할 계획이어서 실효성 논란이 일고 있습니다.
