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: Real Estate Fraud at New Airport Site?
  • Buyers of land around Sinsan-ri in Seongsan-eup, the location for Jeju’s new airport, are claiming they were scammed in a case of real estate fraud. An unnamed agricultural company sold divided plots of land to multiple buyers, who now claim that contract terms have not been followed. The company in question has denied any wrongdoing. Joseph Kim reports. [slug] Sinsan-ri, Seongsan-eup This is (신산리) Sinsan-ri, (성산읍) Seongsan-eup. It’s where Jeju’s second airport will be built. A 15,000-square-meter plot of land here... right next to the coastal road… is alleged to have been part of a real estate fraud case. [slug] Real estate fraud suspected in farmland sale The farmland was sold by an agricultural company… to multiple buyers who were each promised a portion of the land… but they say the company breached the terms of their agreement. [slug] Buyers say company breached contract terms Choi Sun-ok (최선옥) was one of the buyers last May. She bought the land to run a small accommodation facility, but says unlike the terms of agreement, she had to wait six months before the land was transferred under her name, and there has been an indefinite delay in the installation of water and sewage facilities as well as road construction work. [slug] ‘Delays in ownership transfer, building infrastructure’ The company is also alleged to have infringed on property rights. After the area was announced to be the location for Jeju’s second airport and land prices began to rise, the company is said to have refused to transfer ownership on some of the land it sold. SYNC Choi Sun-ok / Land buyer (Because of the airport) it’s going to be hard enough to live here due to the noise pollution, but they took away 50 pyeong and then when they heard land prices here would rise 20 times the amount it was before, they suddenly decided not to sell another 200 pyeong. I’ve already paid my interim payments... <씽크:최선옥/농지 매수인> "(공항 때문에) 시끄러운 곳에서 살려면 더 힘든데 그런 사람들 앞에서 50평도 빼앗기고 땅 값이 20배 오를 것이다해서 2백 평도 안 팔려고 했어요. 중도금까지 다 치렀는데..." Other buyers claim the company sold land that wasn’t even their own. [slug] Buyers claim company sold land owned by third party They say the agricultural company sold land it had bought but hadn’t registered… which therefore means it wasn’t formally theirs. Another issue at stake is collateral damage. Buyers say they suddenly became responsible for a debt they weren’t informed of. INTERVIEW Nam Dal-li / Land buyer I trusted the company. But they sold me land that wasn’t even theirs. It took a long time for them to divide up the land. After I had paid the full sum of money, they took 86 square meters of what was originally agreed and then I found out the land was collateral security for 1.2 billion won. <인터뷰:남달리/농지 매수인 > "그렇게 믿어서 계약했는데 자기 땅도 아니었어요. 분할도 굉장히 오랜 시간이 걸렸어요. 잔금을 치른 이후에도..86㎡를 뺏기고 등기했는데 알고보니 근저당이 12억이 설정돼 있는 거예요. 이 땅 전체를 담보로.." [slug] More than 10 people claim damages The land buyers held a press conference and asked for measures to be taken against the company. They say more than 10 people had been scammed. [camera] Ko Moon-su The company has denied the allegations, saying the transfer of ownership took a long time because the buyers delayed their payments, and that administrative work was currently underway on the road construction. SYNC Agricultural company representative Everything was explained from the start. We told them that after the road construction permit was issued and the road was paved, then we would divide the land up and distribute it. And that is currently underway. There’s nothing wrong with that. <씽크:농업법인 관계자> "처음부터 얘기가 됐던 사항입니다. 나중에 도로허가를 받은 뒤 도로 포장이 된 다음에 지분을 나눠주기로 한 부분이고 진행 중입니다. 다른 쪽에서 문제가 될 부분은 없습니다." [REPORTER] Joseph Kim The buyers have filed a lawsuit against the company on accounts of fraud. Industry insiders say more disputes of a similar kind may arise in the future, now that the district has been decided as the site for Jeju’s second airport. Joseph Kim KCTV

  • Province plans to change layout of Gangjeong cruise terminal Officials want to expand facility to meet rising demand The province is looking to change the layout of the cruise terminal at the Gangjeong civil-military port. In order to meet rising demand, the provincial government is considering doubling the size of the immigration checkpoint, which is currently planned to hold up to 2,000 people, as well as the parking lot, which was initially set to have spaces for 30 buses. The province will submit the proposal to the national government for revision before finalizing the plan. Work on the Gangjeong cruise terminal is currently on hold due to the building of a road for construction vehicles to use. 道, 강정크루즈터미널 설계변경 검토 제주특별자치도가 강정 민군복합항크루즈터미널 설계변경을 추진합니다. 제주도는 크루즈 관광 수요가 높아짐에 따라 기존 2천명 규모의 입국심사장 시설을 늘리고 주차장도 관광버스 30대 규모에서 두 배 이상 확충하는 방안을 검토 중입니다. 특히 이같은 설계변경 계획을 정부에 건의한 뒤 향후 터미널 조성사업에 반영할 계획입니다. 현재 강정 크루즈 터미널은 공사 차량 진입로 조성 등으로 공사가 중단된 상태입니다.
