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 the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. This is it. Your last weekend to enjoy something a little off the beaten track. Next week Star Wars drops, and that’s all we’ll be hearing about until the new year. So before then, take some time to peruse this week’s crop of mid-December openings, and just breathe a little, before all the craziness sets in. This week a crime thriller will make your heart beat, and a romantic comedy will make your eyes weep. Here are Legend and Trainwreck. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Legend (2015, Brian Helgeland) The story of the identical twin gangsters Reggie and Ronnie Kray. First this week, the tight crime thriller Legend, starring Tom Hardy in dual roles as twin London gangsters Reggie and Ron Kray. The film focuses on the twin brothers, both played by Hardy, as they experience a rise to power and then subsequent fall, becoming known as the most notorious gangsters in London. Like many of the movies being released lately, Legend earns praise for Hardy’s brilliant performances as the two main characters. But this on its own isn’t enough to support a full movie, and there are some problems with the story not doing justice to all that the Kray twins did. [Slug CG] Trainwreck (2015, Judd Apatow) A commitment-phobic career woman meets a good guy. Maybe it’s because expectations aren’t as high, maybe it’s because a comedy is just easier to get right. Whatever the reason, Trainwreck is another hit from director Judd Apatow. Since she was a little girl, it's been drilled into Amy's head by her dad that monogamy isn't realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo - enjoying what she feels is a life free from boring romantic commitment. But when she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article she's writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners, Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be onto something. While this is definitely an adult movie, there’s lots to like: strong performances from the leads, a smart, funny script from star Amy Schumer, and a uniqueness that’s hard to find anywhere else.

  • Jeju: A to Z (Geomi Oreum)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker takes a brief look at a volcanic cone which -- despite its reference to spiders -- is a geological marvel which offers stunning views from its peak. Some people might be rather averse to spiders, but one such volcanic cone on Jeju Island with said name is a famous site. [Slug CG] Jongdal-ri, Gujwa-eup Geomi Oreum -- geomi means spider in Korean -- is on the east of the island right in the central plain at Jongdal-ri, Gujwa-eup. The slope is rounded and has layered hills, giving the effect of a spider web, and that's how it got its name. This 115-meter-tall volcanic formation is quite distinctive because it comprises a pyramid-shaped peak, a dome-shaped peak, a funnel-shaped crater, and a basket-shaped crater. [Slug CG] Name derives from its spider-like geological formation On its spider-like slopes are many smaller oreum. A good number of its sides are steep, but to the northeast there is a relatively gentle slope and a road. The top, however, is accessible from any direction. When you climb this oreum, you come to the second funnel crater first. The eastern part from southwest to northeast has hilly areas. It is steep and, at the foot, there are numerous small oreums. The view is comparable to what you can experience from the top of Mount Halla. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Despite what you might think about this volcanic cone’s original name, the sights from its peak do indeed belie any potential arachnophobia. Todd Thacker KCTV

  • KCTV: Stronger Military Presence
  • There have been some big changes in the military forces that are stationed on the island, prior to the scheduled completion by the end of the year of the naval base in Gangjeong. Here’s Mike Laidman to explain. [slug] Ceremony for Navy’s Jeju Unit at Naval Base The flag for the Navy’s new Jeju unit gets handed to the unit commander while hundreds of soldiers look on. The flag shows a shield of red and blue and the battleship designed by famous admiral (이순신) Yi Sun-shin. The soldiers salute the new flag in unison. This is the Navy’s new Jeju Unit, which has been founded ahead of the Naval Base’s completion, scheduled for the end of this year. The new unit will operate under the Navy’s 3rd Fleet. About 500 soldiers will be in charge of base defense and warship support. SYNC Kim Jong-il, Commander of Navy’s 3rd Fleet This base is a strategic point to prepare for and deal with possible threats from North Korea and neighboring countries. The island is positioned at an important economic and military spot, securing the nation’s prosperity and national security. <싱크 : 김종일 / 해군 3함대 사령관> "이곳은 우리 해군이 북한과 주변국의 위협을 동시에 대응해야 하는 전략적 거점이기도 합니다. 이렇듯 제주도는 대한민국의 번영과 // 국가안보를 위한 경제적 군사적 요충지입니다." The 71st and 72nd units of the Navy’s 7th Mobile Troops and 93rd Submarine Forces, under the command of the Navy’s submarine fleet, will start their duties in the base at the end of the year as soon as the new unit is settled. [slug] Ceremony for 9th Marine Corps Brigade The Jeju Defense Command, which was run under both the Navy and Marine Corps, has been dismantled, and the 9th Marine Corps Brigade has been established in its place. [CAMERA] Hyeon Gwang-hoon, Park Byeong-joon A quick-response battalion will be dispatched to Jeju from the country’s 1st Marine Corps Division, currently stationed in (포항) Pohang, and will be merged into the 9th Marine Corps Brigade. The new brigade will be independant from regular military operational control and be charged with defending the island and its islets. SYNC Yi Sang-hun / Marine Corps Commander We, the Marine Corps, swear an oath to be responsible for this region, which stretches out to the islands of Ieodo and Marado, as Jeju is positioned at a significant spot for regional security and peace. <싱크: 이상훈 / 해병대 사령관> “제주라는 중요한 지역을 해병대가 직접 방어하게 됨으로써, 이어도와 마라도 등 주변 노선은 물론이고 지역 안정을 위해 굳건한 파수꾼이 될 것을 다짐합니다.” [REPORTER] Mike Laidman Now that the island’s military bodies have been restructured, Jeju is facing new challenges in how to iron out conflicts in civil-military relations and live up to its name as “the island of peace”.

  • Sharp rise in Chinese-owned land
  • Sharp rise in Chinese-owned land More than 5X as much in 2014 compared to 2011 According to a new report, Chinese-owned land in Jeju has increased more than fivefold in just three years. In its latest analysis, the National Assembly Research Service says Chinese investors owned 1.4 square kilometers of land in 2011. That total had jumped to 8.3 square kilometers in 2014. Last year, 50.2 percent of all local land owned by non-Koreans was owned by Chinese. The report said the influx of Chinese capital was causing real estate speculation and haphazard development in Jeju’s mountainous regions. Its authors suggested implementing stricter criteria for the island’s investment-based permanent residence program and investment promotion zones. <중국인 소유 제주지역 토지 '급증'> 최근 3년 사이 제주지역에서 중국인들이 매입한 토지가 큰 폭으로 증가한 것으로 나타났습니다. 국회입법조사처 보고서에 따르면 중국인들이 매입한 제주지역 토지 면적은 지난 2011년 142만 제곱미터에서 지난해 834만 제곱미터로 5배 이상 급등한 것으로 조사됐습니다. 특히 지난해 전체 외국인 보유 토지 면적 1천 6백만 제곱 미터 가운데 중국인 토지 소유 비율은 50.2 %에 달했습니다. 보고서는중국 자본이 부동산 투기와 중산간 난개발로 이어지고 있다며 부동산 투자이민제와 투자진흥지구 지정 기준을보다 강화해야 한다고 강조했습니다.
