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 Todd Thacker with what’s new in local theaters. [Report] This week some famous faces grace Jeju’s cinema screens. Unfortunately for us -- and them -- the following two films are not the strongest in terms of plot. Even though we have Oscar-winners as headliners, be advised that Shintaro Shimosawa’s Misconduct, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, directed by Kirk Jones, might not live up to your expectations. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Welcome to Film Focus. I’m Todd Thacker. [Slug CG] Misconduct (2016, Shintaro Shimosawa) A young lawyer takes on a ruthless drug company executive. By far the best scene in Misconduct depicts its lead character, a young lawyer by the name of Ben Cahill (played by Josh Duhamel), falling prey to his own ambition after being handed a class action lawsuit against a pharmaceutical company. At stake are billions of dollars in compensation to hundreds of victims of a new medication drug trial gone wrong. The scope of that particular plot is convoluted enough. But then throw in a corrupt drug company CEO (played by Anthony Hopkins), who as it happens is dating Ben’s old flame from college. Through her Ben gets his hands on a disk drive full of incriminating drug company emails. And then it gets complex. Lee Byung-hun, Al Pacino and Alice Eve all play their parts to heighten the tension, but overall, the meandering story just doesn’t live up to expectations. To judge from a range of reviews posted thus far, Misconduct is a slow, banal wanna-be thriller. Perhaps if you go in with a sense of humor, it might not seem as awful as it is. [Slug CG] My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016, Kirk Jones) A family secret brings everyone back for an even bigger wedding. In the first Big Fat Greek Wedding film which hit cinemas fourteen years ago and proved very popular, Toula (Nia Portokalos) and non-Greek boyfriend Ian (played by John Corbett) met and tied the knot in Chicago after a series of cultural and familial hijinks. Fast forward to today, and Toula and Ian have a daughter ready for dating and college. Cue echos of the narrative of the first film. Toula’s parents, meanwhile, have a secret central to the second film. Cue the need for a second big fat greek wedding. As most of the cast and crew return for Wedding 2, could we call this a cynical rehash of the first story or a cash grab? No, it’s more like predictable TV sitcom, lacking the charm and message of the first: That family rules and traditions are meant to help you achieve happiness, but in the end you have to follow your heart.

  • Unique arched buildings to be restored
  • Unique arched buildings to be restored Structures at Isidore Farm date to the 1960s Authorities will restore some unique arched buildings in Jeju that have been abandoned for years despite being regarded as modern cultural heritage. The Father (임피제) Yim Pi-jae Society says the arched buildings inside the Isidore Farm in Geumak-ri, Hallim-eup will be refurbished. The site will first be evaluated by the provincial government in order to gain recognition as a national cultural heritage site. Once designated, the Cultural Heritage Administration will provide funding for the restoration. The buildings date to the 1960s when P. J. McGlinchey, a Catholic priest from Ireland known as Yim Pi-jae in Korean, had them built for housing and storage facilities. About 20 of them remain. 아치형 건축물 '테쉬폰' 복원 추진 제주의 근대문화유산이면서도 제대로 보호 관리되지 않고 있는 아치형 건축물 '테쉬폰'이 복원될 전망입니다. 임피제 신부 기념사업회는 제주시 한림읍 금악리 성이시돌 목장 안에 있는 테쉬폰을 복원한다고 밝혔습니다. 복원 작업은 제주도의 실사를 거쳐 테쉬폰이 문화재로 지정되면 문화재청의 예산이 투입될 것으로 전해졌습니다. 테쉬폰은 임피제 신부가 1960년대부터 짓기 시작해 주택과 창고 등의 용도로 도내에 200여 채 이상 보급됐지만 지금은 대부분이 철거돼 20채 미만이 남아 있는 것으로 파악되고 있습니다.

  • 24/7 crackdown on drunk driving proves effective Nearly 300 offenders caught in 2 weeks Police have caught hundreds of people for drunk driving since they launched an around-the-clock crackdown on the practice earlier this month. The Jeju Police Agency says officers have caught 293 offenders since the crackdown began about two weeks ago, on March 15th. That’s more than double the 132 people caught during the same period last year, and it works out to an average of 22 drunk drivers caught every day over the past two weeks. 33 drivers were caught during the daytime, and 28 were caught right around dawn. Police say they will continue to crack down on DWI during the day and in the early morning by boosting the number of officers on duty during those hours. 24시간 단속 전환 후 음주운전 적발 급증 24시간 음주운전 단속체제로 전환된 이후 경찰에 적발되는 음주운전자가 크게 늘었습니다. 제주지방경찰청은 지난 15일부터 약 2주동안 주·야간 음주 단속을 벌여 모두 293명의 음주운전자를 적발했다고 밝혔습니다. 이는 지난해 같은 기간 132명에 비해 2배 이상 늘어난 수치로 하루 평균 22명 꼴로 적발됐습니다. 특히 대낮에 음주운전을 하다 적발된 경우도 33건에 달했고, 새벽시간에 적발된 경우도 28건이나 됐습니다. 경찰은 인력을 추가로 동원해 새벽과 낮시간대에도 음주운전을 강화하기로 했습니다.
