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: Farmers Take Control of Carrot Supply
  • Over 60% of the nation's carrots are produced in Jeju, yet the island can’t seem to break the cycle of overproduction and plunging prices. Here’s Mike Laidman to explain what’s being done to solve those problems. [slug] 60% of nation’s carrots grown in Jeju Jeju carrots account for more than 60% of Korea’s total carrot production. Carrots are now one of the most popular winter crops, but are facing drops in value due to continued overproduction. To solve the problem, Nonghyup has gone so far as to dispose of large amounts of the vegetable, but this hasn’t been enough to solve the issue. Last year the price of 20 kg of carrots dropped from 17,000 won to 13,000 won. To solve the problem, local organizations and farmers have stepped up and created a self-funding program. The program collects 100 won per 20kg box of carrots from approximately 490 farmers from Gujwa-eup, Seongsan-eup, and Seogwipo, all of whom are members of the Jeju Carrot Common Corporation. This is the first time that farmers have created such a system for carrots. The funds will be used to help better control supply, increase quality, and improve marketing efforts. INTERVIEW Goh Kwang-deok / Jeju Carrot Common Corporation Within 2 to 3 years, we plan to initiate a nationwide self-funding system to improve our business as well as promote consumption through the media and events. < 고광덕 / (사)제주당근연합회 사무국장 > 2~3년 내에 전국의 생산자들이 함께 할 수 있는 전국적인 의무자조금 단체를 결성하고 자조금 규모를 키워서 제대로된 수급조절 사업이나 /// 언론을 통한 소비촉진 행사를 충분히 진행할 수 있을 거라 생각합니다. [Camera] Hyeon Gwang-hoon The self-funding program began this year. So far, 400 million won has been collected. 200 million won was provided through the Carrot Common Corporation and matching funds were provided by the government. Jeju plans to expand the self-funding program to other crops, too. INTERVIEW Kim Myoung-hoon / Provincial dept. of horticulture Winter crops will continue to increase, and a self-funding program for cabbages will be created, as well. This will help sustain competitive growth. < 김명훈 / 제주도 원예특작담당 > 앞으로 월동무도 확대해 나갈 것이고 양배추도 자조금을 조성할 계획입니다. 자생력과 경쟁력이 높아질 것으로 보고 있습니다. [Reporter] Mike Laidman The new program for carrots should not only help to control supply, but also bring some much-needed economic stability to farmers. Mike Laidman, KCTV

  • Stronger measures against real estate speculation
  • Stronger measures against real estate speculation Provincial government seeking more authority from national government Authorities will work harder to prevent real estate speculation in 2016. Jeju will request a transfer of rights from the central government to the provincial government in regards to setting regulations on housing prices and restricting the immediate resale of new property for a profit. If approved, the governor will be able to both prevent new housing prices from soaring and adjust the current system of limiting apartment resales. Local officials say this would better suit the property market in Jeju.

  • ‘New policies essential to change casino industry’
  • ‘New policies essential to change casino industry’ Provincial government undeterred by opposition from casinos Despite a backlash from the casino industry, the provincial government has decided to push ahead with its plan to levy fees on profits made by casino brokers and require formal registration to make the brokerage system more transparent. The decision to do so comes after it was revealed that casinos were paying junket operators extremely high commissions to bring in new customers, which in turn led to what has been deemed “excessive” competition among casinos. This is what officials say has led to legal violations. The provincial government insists that policy changes are necessary to force changes in the casino industry. Casino operators held a press conference earlier this week and expressed opposition to the new proposals. 道, "카지노 체질개선 위해 제도개선 불가피" 제주특별자치도가 카지노 업계 반발에도 불구하고, 전문모집인 수수료 기금 부과와 등록제를 예정대로 시행하기로 했습니다. 제주도는 과도한 수수료 지급과 카지노 업계의 과당 경쟁으로 인해 불법 행위가 증가하고, 경영상태도 악화되고 있다며 체질 개선 차원에서 수수료 기금부과와 등록제 같은 카지노 제도개선이 불가피하다고 강조했습니다. 카지노 업체들은 지난 28일 기자회견을 열고 제주도가 추진하는 카지노 영업준칙 개정안에 대해 공식 반대입장을 내놨습니다.

  • Jeju: A to Z (Seogwipo Penguin Swim)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker takes a look at this year’s Seogwipo Penguin Swim, which is set for Saturday morning at Jungmun Saekdal Beach on the south side of the island. Hundreds will brave the cold air and ocean, and have a wonderful day on one of Jeju’s most beautiful beaches. We’ve had some pretty cold, windy weather of late. January, which is just around the corner, brings with it cold ocean currents and breezes that can chill hikers and beachgoers to the bone. But believe it or not, some people actually look forward to these conditions. [Slug CG] Jungmun Saekdal Beach, Seogwipo The annual Seogwipo Penguin Swim, which is set for January 2nd at Jungmun Saekdal Beach, is a good example of this. It brings together many dozens of hearty -- some might say foolhardy -- swimmers who take a brief plunge into the icy waters off the south coast. Jeju, like many places around the world, has a New Year’s tradition of winter swims. In the West, it’s called a Polar Bear Plunge. But on Jeju, it’s the penguin which represents the vivacious spirit of the outdoors. [Slug CG] Traditional activities, food Fortunately, you don’t need to actually take a dip in the ocean to participate. There are many activities and foods to enjoy during the morning event. Friendly traditional Korean wrestling matches, balloon and kite flying, among other things, are on tap. Try some steaming seaweed soup called momguk (몸국) and sliced boiled pork called dombegogi (돔베고기). [Slug CG] Great opportunity for photographers And for all the shutterbugs out there, there are some great opportunities to capture all the action with the beautiful backdrop of the ocean, one of Korea’s most famous beaches, and the cliffs which rise majestically in the background. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker One of the big questions on the day is: why do they do it? When asked, participants often reply that it’s a chance to reinvigorate their body and mind for the year ahead. Taking the plunge might not be for everyone, but it’s certainly one of the more memorable ways to mark the start of 2016 on Jeju. Todd Thacker KCTV
