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.

  • Arirang: Culture Experience Center
  • Having a long layover at an airport can be frustrating. Well, not any more, says Korea’s Incheon International Airport. Those traveling through Incheon International will at least now be able to enjoy the renewed traditional culture center. Arirang’s Kim Ji Yeon reports. Around one-hundred people including the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the president of the Korea Cultural Heritage Foundation gathered at Incheon International Airport to participate in the reopening ceremony of the Korea Traditional Culture Experience Center on Thursday. [Reporter/Bridge] Kim Ki-yeon "The center was built to promote Korean culture... and offers foreign visitors a glimpse of traditional handicrafts and music free of charge." [SLUG] Incheon Int'l Airport visitors stop to check out culture center The center's hard to miss... located on the third floor of the airport's passenger terminal's duty-free area. I asked this young man, who was decorating a hand mirror by arranging crushed bits of pearl with a toothpick., what his opinion of the center was. Interview] Henry George / Visitor from Australia "This is a beautiful experience to be able to do this especially for people like me who is just stuck in the airport for four hours. I was going to have to read or whatever but now I can do this incredible thing so I'm really pleased that I could be able to do this." [CG IN] New center reflects gov't initiative to converge culture and IT It took nearly a year to refurbish the center because of the center's intricate interior design, which is shaped like a traditional fan. The ministry inaugurated the center at the airport back in 2009... and has gone through renovation so that it could better reflect the [CAMERAMEN] Lim Hyun-jung government's initiative of "cultural convergence"... that utilizes IT devices to promote Korean culture. [Interview] Kim Jong-deok / Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Korean) "By using the center's tablets... visitors can virtually experience Korean culture. For example, they can check out how they'll look if they were to wear traditional Hanbok attires. I project around one-million people will visit the new center this year... more than last year's 730-thousand visitors." Fifteen years after opening its doors, Incheon International Airport has been recognized as one of the finest in the world for its outstanding facilities and services provided. It's also the world’s second largest airport in terms of air cargo and number of passengers. Kim Ji-yeon, Arirang News, Incheon.

  • KCTV: Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. This weekend marks the Chinese New Year, and with so many people going home for the holidays and spending time with their families, there isn’t a whole lot happening in the theatres. This week, we take a quick look at the latest in an animated series, and another of this year’s films to win a handful of Oscar nominations. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Carol (2015, Todd Haynes) A photographer develops a relationship with an older woman. First, let’s start with Carol, a film that has earned Oscar nominations for both lead actress Cate Blanchett and supporting actress Rooney Mara. The movie is an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel The Price of Salt. It follows two women from very different backgrounds who find themselves in an unexpected love affair in 1950s New York. A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet is a clerk working in a Manhattan department store. She meets Carol, an alluring woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage. An immediate connection sparks between them and their connection deepens. While Carol breaks free from the confines of marriage, her husband begins to question her competence as a mother, her involvement with Therese, and her relationship with her best friend. Anchored by its cast, the film is free to explore what it meant to be gay in the 1950s, about two people trying to be together in a society that is quietly suffocating them. [Slug CG] Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015, Walk Becker) Alvin, Simon, and Theodore continue their adventures with Dave. Turning to a much lighter note now, here’s the latest installment in the somewhat-popular Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise. This is already the fourth entry in the franchise, and if you haven’t seen the first three, or weren’t ever a fan of the music and shows when they were hot back in the 80s and 90s, then you’ll likely be left in the dark here. Through a series of misunderstandings, Alvin, Simon and Theodore come to believe that Dave is going to propose to his new girlfriend in Miami...and dump them. They have three days to get to him and stop the proposal, saving themselves not only from losing Dave but possibly from gaining a terrible stepmother. This has all the makings of a suitable movie for kids: colourful, fast, cute. But it ends there. It’s all harmless fun, but there’s absolutely nothing here to inspire or teach.

  • Invasive broadleaf bamboo spreading across Hallasan
  • Invasive broadleaf bamboo spreading across Hallasan Mountain could lose national park designation The spread of the invasive broadleaf bamboo on Hallasan is putting the mountain at risk of losing its title as a national park. The environment ministry has alerted the provincial government of the current situation as 90 percent of the mountain is currently covered in broadleaf bamboo, causing other plant species to die out. Authorities at the Hallasan National Park say they have started to manually root out the invasive bamboos, as using chemicals would harm all plant life on the mountain. 한라산, 제주조릿대에 잠식…국립공원 제외 우려 한라산이 제주 조릿대에 의해 잠식당하면서 국립공원에서 제외될 우려까지 제기되고 있습니다. 환경부는 최근 제주도 한라산국립공원관리사무소에 보낸 공문을 통해 한라산이 조릿대로 인해 국립공원에서 제외되는 상황이 올 수 있다며 제주도가 심각하게 고민해야 한다고 밝혔습니다. 제주조릿대는 한라산국립공원의 90%를 잠식하고 있는 고유 재래종으로 번식력이 강해서 다른 식물의 생육을 방해해 생태계 관리에 어려움을 주고 있습니다. 한라산국립공원은 약제를 사용할 경우 다른식물에도 영향을 줄 수 있어서 인력을 투입해 조릿대를 일일이 잘라내고 있으며 빠른 시일 안에 관리 대책을 마련하기로 했습니다.
