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.

  • JDC may terminate contract with apartment developer
  • JDC may terminate contract with apartment developer Issue involves housing construction in Jeju Science Park The Jeju Free International City Development Center says it is considering terminating an agreement it signed with the developer of the new (꿈에그린) “Goomae Green” apartment complex in the Jeju Science Park, citing a breach of contract. The JDC convened a board of directors meeting last month. Board members reportedly agreed to terminate the land purchase agreement with DRM City. They also agreed to seek indemnification due to the apartment developer’s recent announcement that it would rent out housing units instead of selling them as initially planned. Housing units for the new apartment complex were due to be up for sale several months ago but the process has been stalled due to disputes regarding the price and sales method. The JDC says it will try to reach an agreement, but that if both parties fail to find common ground, it will pursue legal measures to settle the case. 제주국제자유도시개발센터가 첨단과학기술단지 꿈에 그린 아파트 시행사와의 계약 해제를 검토하고 있습니다. JDC는 지난달 이사회를 열고 꿈에 그린 아파트 사업 시행자가 기존 계약과 다르게 임대 분양을 추진할 경우 토지매매 계약을 해제하고 이에 따른 손해배상 소송을 추진하기로 결정했습니다. JDC 관계자는 소송 이전에 첨단과기단지 입주기업 근로자에 대한 우선분양 혜택 등 계약 사항을 이행할 수 있도록 시행사와 협의를 벌이겠다고 밝혔습니다. 첨단과학기술단지 꿈에 그린 아파트는 고분양가 논란과 분양 방식 전환 등을 이유로 수개 월째 분양 공고가 나지 않고 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. My, how time flies. It’s easy to see how quickly time passes if you chart the flow with movie releases. Before you know it, you’re in December with one of the largest films bearing down on you. But before then, there’s still lots of action to be had. Two new releases are here to vie for you attention, both worthy of a night out at the movies. Here are a look at In the Heart of the Sea and Southpaw. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] In the Heart of the Sea (2015, Ron Howard) A whaling ship is preyed upon by a sperm whale in 1820. From director Ron Howard comes an ocean epic. In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. "In the Heart of the Sea" reveals the encounter's aftermath, as the ship's surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. The strong cast is let down but a less-than-stellar script, disappointing since the story draws heavily from Moby Dick. There’s no denying that this is a thrill ride, though, and may just satisfy those who go to see it for the action and adventure. [Slug CG] Southpaw (2015, Antoine Fuqua) A boxer loses his wife and fights to get his daughter back. Southpaw was a movie that had a lot of Oscar buzz behind it when it opened a few months ago overseas. Let’s take a closer look at what makes it tick. Boxer Billy Hope loses his wife in a tragic accident, and then his daughter to child protection services. He turns to trainer Tick Wills to help him get his life back on track. Now, relying on Tick’s guidance and tenacity, Billy enters the hardest battle of his life as he struggles with redemption and to win back the trust of those he loves. Jake Gyllenhaal delivers an impressively committed performance in what is an otherwise completely unremarkable boxing drama. It hits all the beats, gets all the cliches rights, and pretty much follows a predetermined track the entire way. Despite this, the character interactions are great, and worth the price of admission.

  • Jeju: A to Z (Stone Walls 1)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker is offering us the first in a series of segments profiling a part of Jeju’s cultural and agricultural heritage. Jeju’s stone walls are black basalt rock edifices that for centuries have been used to protect homes and crop land from the island’s strong winds. And they have done so in a number of different ways. Jeju is a volcanic island, and its people have developed a strong identity known as Jeju stone culture. The island’s location in the ocean, and strong prevailing winds, generally make it a difficult place to grow crops. Its arable land is made up mostly of lava stone fields. In order for farmers to start planting their crops, they had to move the stones out of the way. They stacked them into walls called batdam. [Slug CG] Estimated 22,000 km of basalt walls islandwide According to a provincial government report, over the centuries islanders have built an estimated 22,000 kilometers of these stone walls. Batdam require no mortar, as the rock is naturally porous and they adhere to each other easily, so the walls are remarkably strong. They provide homes with shelter from the strong wind, and also protect crops during storms. [Slug CG] Help reduce soil erosion, preserve biodiversity An added benefit is that they reduce soil erosion and preserve Jeju’s biodiversity. [Slug CG] FAO: Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System In light of this, the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization has now officially designated batdam as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. This is the first time agricultural systems in Korea have been recognized internationally, and now will be subject to national and international protections. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Jeju stone walls are securely entrenched in the island’s aesthetic and cultural identity. Their functionality, and beauty, are truly unique to Jeju. Todd Thacker KCTV

  • Electric cars to get exclusive license plates in 2016
  • Electric cars to get exclusive license plates in 2016 New housing complexes will be required to have recharging stations Beginning next year, electric vehicles will be able to use exclusive license plates, and all new housing sites will be required to provide special parking zones for them. According to the decision made at a presidential cabinet meeting earlier this week… electric vehicles that use the exclusive plates will be exempt from paying congestion fees and will receive discounts when parking in public parking lots. In addition, it will become mandatory for all new multi-unit housing complexes to provide electric vehicle recharging zones. Currently there are less than 400 recharging stations available for electric cars at housing complexes across the nation but the government plans to add at least a thousand more by 2020. <전기차 전용번호판 도입…전용주차구역 '의무'> 내년부터 전기차 전용 번호판이 도입되고 새로 짓는 공동주택의 경우 전기차 전용 주차구역이 의무적으로 설치됩니다. 정부는 박근혜 대통령 주재로 국무회의를 열고 이 같은 내용을 골자로 한 환경친화적 자동차 보급 기본계획을 확정했습니다. 주요 내용을 보면 전용 번호판을 부착한 전기차의 경우 각 지방자치단체에서 부여하는 혼잡통행료 면제나 공영주차장 요금 할인 등이 제공됩니다. 또 새로 짓는 공동주택에 전기차 충전구역 설치를 의무화하고 현재 400개에 불과한 충전시설을 2020년까지 중점 보급도시 중심으로 늘리기로 했습니다.
