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.

  • ‘Geomun Oreum last erupted 8,000 years ago’
  • ‘Geomun Oreum last erupted 8,000 years ago’ Parasitic volcano may have erupted much more recently than thought A new study suggests Jeju’s Geomun Oreum (거문오름) erupted 8,000 years ago… not 200,000 as previously thought. The World Heritage and Hallasan Research Center says it recently extracted ancient soil from the parasitic volcano. Researchers used radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence dating methods, and found that the soil dated back 8,000 years. This evidence contradicts previous estimates that Geomun Oreum last erupted 200,000 years ago. The center views the latest findings as credible, based on the good state of the parasitic volcano itself and because other sediment had not piled up on the tested soil. "거문오름 화산분출시기 8천년 전 추정" 거문오름의 화산분출 시기가 20만년전이 아닌 8천년 전이라는 새로운 분석결과가 나와 관심을 모으고 있습니다. 제주특별자치도 세계유산한라산연구원은 최근 거문오름에서 분출한 용암류와 송이층에서 토양을 채취해 방사성 탄소연대와 광여기루미네선스연대 측정법을 사용한 결과 지금으로부터 8천년 전으로 나타났다고 밝혔습니다. 이같은 화산분출시기는 기존 20만년 전에 비해 19만년 이상 앞당겨진 것입니다. 세계유산한라산연구원은 만장굴을 비롯한 거문오름용암동굴계 내부 구조들의 경우 현재 보존상태가 양호할 뿐 아니라 2차 퇴적물도 없어 이같은 주장을 뒷받침하고 있다고 주장했습니다.

  • Jeju’s service sector grows at fastest pace in nation in Q1
  • Jeju’s service sector grows at fastest pace in nation in Q1 Expands by 6.2% January?March Jeju’s service sector grew at the fastest pace in the nation last quarter. According to the latest report by Statistics Korea, the service sector index in Jeju hit 121.6 in the first three months of 2016. That’s 6.2 percent higher than in the first quarter of 2015, and more than twice the average growth rate in the country, which was 2.8 percent. Real estate services grew the most, at 17 percent. That led to a rise in loan demand, which created a 12 percent increase in sales of financial and insurance services. The office attributed the growth in the service sector to increases in Chinese tourists and real estate investors. 도내 서비스업 생산 증가율 전국 최고 도내 서비스업 생산 증가율이 전국에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났습니다. 통계청에 따르면 올해 1분기 도내 서비스업 생산지수는 121.6으로 지난해 같은 기간보다 6.2% 증가하며 전국평균 2.8%보다 두배 이상 높습니다. 특히 부동산·임대가 17% 증가했고 부동산 매매에 따른 대출 수요 증가로 금융·보험업도 12% 늘었습니다. 통계청은 중국인 관광객 증가로 관광업의 호조세가 이어지고 부동산, 임대업 등이 서비스업 생산 증가세를 주도한 것으로 분석하고 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. Another week of movie magic is upon us. Friday the 13th is here, and yet there is a complete lack of scary stuff at the box office. As nice as it would be to have something terrifying to sink your teeth into, this just isn’t a very popular time to be releasing horror flicks. Instead, we’ve got another entry into a young-adult series that is trying to capture some of the audience that the Hunger Games series had. We’ve got to dive into next week, however, to find what could prove to be a very lucrative children’s property. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016, Robert Schwentke) Tris works to escape the wall surrounding Chicago with Four. The Divergent Series: Allegiant is the second-to-last film in a quadrilogy that opened back in 2014 with Divergent and was followed by last year’s Insurgent. Unfortunately, what started as fairly ho-hum dystopian young-adult fare has not improved in the least. Following the events in Insurgent, lead character Tris must escape with Four and go beyond the wall enclosing Chicago. For the first time ever, they will leave the only city and family they have ever known. Once outside, old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless with the revelation of shocking new truths. Tris and Four must quickly decide who they can trust as a ruthless battle ignites beyond the walls of Chicago which threatens all of humanity. The reviews have not been kind to this one. There isn’t really much to see here. It’s full of action, sure, but at a cost to cohesion and character development. Unless you’re invested in the series, best to wait for this to come out on video. [Slug CG] The Angry Birds Movie (2016, Clay Kaytis, Fergal Reilly) Three birds discover what some newly-arrived pigs are up to. Opening next week is a big title based off one of the first truly huge mobile games. The Angry Birds Movie takes flight on the 19th. Let’s see what’s in store. The movie invites us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds--or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red, a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck, and the volatile Bomb, have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it's up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to. Maybe now we'll finally find out why the birds are so angry.

According to the provincial government, over 70,000 US dollars worth of export deals were signed recently at an international food and beverage exhibition in Shanghai, China… for Jeju hwangchil sparkling water and hwangchil mackerel.

Talks are currently underway for further exports of hwangchil facial masks and soaps to Japan, mainland China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. 제주황칠사업단 수출계약 잇따라 체결 제주시가 향토산업육성사업으로 추진하고 있는 황칠사업이 잇따라 수출계약를 체결하는 등 성과를 거두고 있습니다. 제주시에 따르면 최근 중국 상하이에서 열린 국제식품박람회에 제주자원식물 황칠사업단이 황칠스파클링워터와 황칠고등어 등 7만달러가 넘는 황칠제품 수출 계약을 성사시켰습니다. 이와함께 지난 3월에는 일본수입업체와 3만달러의 계약을 체결했습니다. 한편 제주황칠사업단은 현재 황칠마스크와 황칠비누 등 황칠제품을 일본과 중국, 대만, 베트남 등에 30억 규모의 수출협의를 진행하고 있습니다.
