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.

  • 91% ‘satisfied’ with stays
  • 91% ‘satisfied’ with stays Survey of 300 guests at Jeolmul Natural Recreation Forest accommodations Nine out of ten guests who stay at the accommodation facilities inside Jeolmul Natural Recreation Forest in Jeju City say they are satisfied. The management center of the forest conducted a survey last month. 91 percent of the 300 respondents reported being happy with their stays. There is certainly room for improvement, though, as some complained about how difficult it was to make a reservation and others said they could feel drafts inside their rooms on windy days. Reservations can be made online on the first day of each month for that month. The rooms generally sell out within an hour, though, due to the popularity of the site. 절물자연휴양림 숙박시설 이용객 91% '만족' 제주시 절물자연휴양림 숙박시설에 대한 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났습니다. 절물생태관리사무소에 따르면 지난달 숙박시설 이용객 300여 명을 대상으로 만족도를 설문조사한 결과 91%가 만족하다고 대답했습니다. 다만 숙박시설 예약이 어려운 점과 겨울철 외풍이 있는 점이 불만족 사항으로 꼽혔습니다. 한편 제주시 절물자연휴양림 숙박시설 예약은 매달 1일 인터넷을 통해 이뤄지고 있으며 1시간도 채 되지 않아 예약이 완료되는 등 인기를 얻고 있습니다.

  • Apartment price growth slows
  • Apartment price growth slows First slowdown in 20 months The rise in Jeju apartment prices is slowing for the first time in 20 months. In the latest report by the Korea Appraisal Board, as of April 11th, apartment prices are holding steady this month, compared to March. This is the first time since August 2014 that apartment prices here have not risen month-on-month.

  • KCTV: Film Focus
  • It’s nearly the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Todd Thacker with what’s new in local theaters. First in our lineup today has proven to be a big hit worldwide. Plot-wise 10 Cloverfield Lane is rather small scale, but it manages to surprise audiences with big twists and turns. And also opening in Jeju theaters is The Huntsman: Winter’s War, a fantasy adventure that delivers. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Welcome to Film Focus. I’m Todd Thacker. [Slug CG] 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016, Dan Trachtenberg) After a car accident, a woman awakens in a bunker with two others. In the horror thriller genre, it’s very easy to slip into cliches or rehash well-worn tales. On the face of it, 10 Cloverfield Lane appears to do just that by playing on the title of the popular 2008 found-footage thriller Cloverfield. Fortunately for us, though, that couldn’t be further from the truth. 10 Cloverfield’s relentless pacing, great performances, and overall sense of the unknown are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat, which in itself is surprising as there are just three main characters. A woman named Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) regains consciousness in a bunker deep underground after a car wreck. The owner of the bunker Howard (in a remarkable performance by John Goodman) tells her she and another man must remain there for their own safety. And that’s all you should know about the plot when going into see 10 Cloverfield Lane. To enjoy it all the more, avoid any spoilers before seeing this claustrophobic, expertly-told tale. [Slug CG] The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016, Cedric Nicolas-Troyan) Two renegades try to stop two evil sisters set on conquering the land. As a sequel to the 2012 film Snow White and the Huntsman, this film moves on and focuses on Chris Hemsworth, the ax-wielding main character Eric, and his love interest Sara (Jessica Chastain). They take on an Ice Queen (played by Emily Blunt) and her sister, who are intent on domination. Some years later Eric and Sara go on an epic quest, their search party joined by a group of adventurous dwarves. Overall Huntsman suffers from the same ills as many fantasy action adventure films. Its story is laboriously told, and there are plot holes you could drive a truck through. But by the same token, it does offer up a good deal of action. Hemsworth and Chastain give surprisingly good performances (minus their poor Scottish accents), so overall it’s a perfectly decent popcorn movie.

  • Crackdown on employment of illegal immigrants
  • Crackdown on employment of illegal immigrants Province, immigration officials outline plans In non-election news, local authorities are set to intensify their crackdown on the employment of illegal immigrants. The provincial government and the Jeju Immigration Office will focus on construction companies, restaurants, and fishing villages, where most illegal immigrants tend to work. The province will also conduct awareness campaigns for Jeju residents two to three times a year, and urge people to report to the police any information they may have on illegal immigrants here. Last year alone, some 4,300 illegal immigrants were caught in Jeju… which was more than 15 times that of the 280 caught in 2011. 외국인 불법체류·고용 단속 강화 외국인 불법체류와 불법고용에 대한 단속이 강화됩니다. 제주특별자치도와 제주출입국관리사무소는 건설업체나 음식점, 어촌계 등을 대상으로 외국인 불법체류와 고용을 중점 단속합니다. 또 1년에 두 세차례에 걸쳐 외국인 불법 고용방지 집중 홍보기간을 정해 도민들의 제보나 신고를 받는다는 계획입니다. 지난해 제주지역에서 적발된 불법체류자는 4천 300여명으로 지난 2011년의 280명에 비해 15배 이상 늘었습니다.

  • Post-election gift-giving banned
  • Post-election gift-giving banned Violators face stiff fines With the election now over, candidates that ran in the race are banned from giving post-election gifts to voters and other politicians. The Jeju Election Commission says it is illegal for candidates to give post-election gifts to family members, political party members, and voters in their electoral district. The candidates are also banned from using broadcast or print media for promotions… and from holding post-election gatherings. They can, however, make speeches in public venues or from vehicles designed for speeches... and hang banners. The Election Commission says it is a violation of the Public Official Election Act for voters to receive goods or food from candidates after the election. If caught, violators face a fine of up to 50 times the value of the goods received. 선거일 이후 유권자 대상 답례 행위 금지 제20대 국회의원 선거가 끝난 뒤 선거구민을 대상으로 한 후보자와 정당 관계자 등의 답례행위가 금지됩니다. 제주특별자치도 선거관리위원회는 후보자와 가족 또는 정당의 당직자는 선거일 이후 선거구민에게 금품 또는 향응을 제공하거나 방송 신문 광고, 그리고 당선 축하회나 낙선위로회 등을 할 수 없다고 밝혔습니다. 다만 공개장소에서 연설하거나 대담용 자동차를 이용한 거리인사, 그리고 현수막 게시는 가능하다고 덧붙혔습니다. 선관위는 선거가 끝난 뒤 후보자 등에게 금품이나 음식물을 제공받는 행위는 공직선거법 위반으로 최고 50배의 과태료가 부과될 있다며 유권자들의 주의를 당부했습니다.
