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.

The National Assembly is expected to pass the proposal at a plenary session this weekend. 선거구 획정안 '타결'…제주 3석 '그대로' 여야가 극적으로 선거구 획정안 협상을 타결한 가운데 제주는 기존 선거구 그대로 적용될 전망입니다. 새누리당 김무성 대표와 더불어민주당 김종인 비상대책위원회 대표는 오늘 오전 양자회동을 통해 제20대 국회의 선거구 획정기준 합의서에 서명했습니다. 이번에 확정된 내용을 보면 지역구 국회의원 253석과 비례대표 47석으로 19대 선거구와 비교해 지역구 7석을 늘렸습니다. 또 인구기준일을 2015년 10월 31일로 인구 상.하한선은 14만명 이상 28명 이하로 정했습니다. 이에따라 제주지역의 경우 기존 3석에 변동이 없게 됐으며 현재 제주시 갑, 을, 서귀포시를 그대로 적용할 것으로 예상됩니다. 여야는 이같은 내용을 담은 선거법 개정안을 오는 26일 본회의에서 처리하기로 했습니다.

  • Arirang : Mobile World Congress 2016
  • Turning to Arirang now, virtual reality devices and 5G networks have been taking center stage at the biggest mobile tech show of the year... the Mobile World Congress,... which kicked off in Barcelona on Monday. Kim Ji-yeon is there and filed this report. [slug] Barcelona's Fira Gran Via, Feb. 22-25 "Mobile is Everything." This is the theme for this year's Mobile World Congress. It conveys that innovation in the mobile sector is reaching into our daily lives... and that there are very few things being created today that don't somehow have a mobile component to them,... and this includes the virtual reality sector. [REPORTER] Kim Ji-yeon "This year's MWC has put the spotlight on VR devices. So no surprise, the world's largest smartphone maker Samsung Electronics even has its own VR experience corner." [SLUG] Samsung eyes virtual reality sector for growth At Samsung's 4D Experience Center,... visitors wait in a long line so they can take a virtual ride on a snow vehicle or rollercoaster. Users put on the Gear VR headsets which generate 360-degree images with every move and turn that's made. The Korean tech giant is eyeing the VR sector for growth... teaming up with Facebook for its VR contents. [slug] Faster connectivity with 5G network Still, the VR sector remains in its infant stage... and needs more user-friendly VR devices and faster connectivity to produce higher resolutions. For that, companies like Korea-based SK Telecom have introduced a fifth generation "5G" network... an improved version from the current fourth generation LTE network. Interview Na Min-soo / Senior manager of 5G tech lab, SK Telecom (English) "It's going to be more than one hundred times faster than the 4G network. For example, if we download a HD movie, first you can spend around 60 seconds or so around one minute, but if you use the 5G network, within one second you can download it." [CAMERA] Hong Myung-ho Another company that's providing 5G connectivity is U.S.-based Qualcomm. They say their annual trip to Barcelona is a great business opportunity. Interview Sanjeev Athalye / Senior director of product mgmt., Qualcomm (English) "So we actually speak to operators and vendors from around the world throughout the year. From the MWC it gives us a great opportunity where we can have all these influential members from the international community in one place and makes it easy for us to display what we're working on in one place rather than having to travel around the world at different times." [SLUG] Companies forming global standard platform for 5G network SK Telecom and its local rival KT Corporation led discussions at the MWC to formulate a global standard platform for the fifth generation network ahead of the 2018 Winter Olympics that will be hosted by South Korea's alpine town of PyeongChang. The companies plan to provide full 5G services at sporting venues during the games. Kim Ji-yeon, Arirang News, Barcelona.

According to a report released Monday by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport…prices were up an average of 4.47 percent in the country, based on official appraised values as of January first. Jeju land prices ballooned 19.35 percent year-on-year. They were up 19.63 percent in Seogwipo and 19.15 percent in Jeju City. The ministry attributed the rise to the continued influx of new residents and heightened demand for land on the back of various development projects. 제주 땅값 상승률 19.35% 기록…전국 최고 전국 땅값 상승률이 금융위기후 최고치를 기록한 가운데, 제주 지역의 표준지 공시지가 상승률이 전국에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났습니다. 국토교통부에 따르면, 올해 제주도의 표준공시지가 상승률은 19.35%로 전국 평균 4.47%를 크게 웃돌며 전국 17개 시.도가운데 압도적으로 높았습니다. 시.군.구별 표준공시지가 상승률도 서귀포시와 제주시가 각각 19.63%와 19.15%를 기록하며 전국에서 1,2위를 차지했습니다. 국토교통부는 제주지역의 경우 인구 유입이 계속되고, 각종 개발사업이 진행되면서 토지 수요가 늘었기 때문으로 분석하고 있습니다.
