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: ‘Learning to Welcome Outsiders’
  • And now for another in our series of reports on the changes affecting coastal communities. Here’s Mike Balfour with a story on Beopwhan-dong, Seogwipo. Beopwhan-dong is a village located on Seogwipo’s south coast. It is the southernmost point of Jeju Island proper. Its location is such that it is hard hit by typhoons. The village’s breakwater has been lengthened year by year. There is a noticeable difference when comparing the coastline with that of 2003. But that is not all that has transformed over the years. Similar to other coastal locations Beopwhan village has also seen a lot of recreational development including cafes, restaurants and hotels. And of course this has raised real estate market values. Land bought by immigrants has exceeded 360 parcels which is more than twice than the 150 parcels sold to local residents. In the last 10 years more and more immigrants have been buying land and moving to the area surpassing the number of parcels bought by local residents. When taking a look at the total population, 20% out of the 2500 people are immigrants. [INTERVIEW] Hyun Min-cheol / Village chief, Beopwhan Rather than being constantly reluctant to integrate non-islanders, if we can see this as a positive transformation, the new residents will be able to better settle in, and they be more open to getting along with those who already live here. < 현민철 / 법환마을회장 > 외지에서 와서 굴러온 돌이 박힌 돌을 뺀다는 식으로 말할 바에는 필요하거나 불편한 것을 같이 해소하면 되지 않겠나 생각합니다. 2천년대 들어 급격히 늘기 시작한 이주민은 이제 마을의 구성원으로 자리잡으며 하나될 준비를 하고 있습니다. Located close to the sea, this location is not only a hot potato in the real estate market, it is popular among women divers. Back in 2003 the area was selected as a Haenyeo village. People are nowadays even coming from the mainland just to attend the Haenyeo school here. [INTERVIEW] Kang Kyoung-soon / Haenyeo School student (from Daejeon) I fell in love with Jeju, with its ‘haenyeo’ and ocean. I registered as a student at the Beopwhan Haenyeo School as soon as it opened. < 강경순 / 해녀학교 학생 (대전시) > 해녀와 바다가 너무 좋아서 제주에 미쳐서 몇년 다니다가 법환에 해녀학교 생기면서 1기로 하고 있는데 너무 좋아요. Kyoung-soon came to Jeju for her passion of Haenyeo and the sea. Although she is 52, her age is unimportant. She has a dream to one day become a professional woman diver. [INTERVIEW] Kang Kyoung-soon / Haenyeo School student (from Daejeon) I caught 4 shellfish. Tell me they’re lovely. (You’re doing great! You can do it if you try hard enough!) They constantly compliment and encourage me like this. (You’ll become rich if you work hard. Good job!) Thank you. 소라 4마리 잡았어요. 예쁘다 해주세요. (아이고 예쁘다. 착하다. 열심히 하면 잘할 수 있어.) 요즘은 이렇게 잘 해주신다니까요. /// (열심히 하면 돈 많이 벌 수 있어. 잘한다.) 감사합니다. The welcoming environment at Beopwhan is bringing waves of change to what was an exclusive culture - especially among the haenyo.. [INTERVIEW] Lee Eun-sook / Office manager, Beopwhan Haenyeo School At first local ‘haenyeo’ were reluctant to take part, but as they began to build relationships with the students, they now call them ‘baby haenyeo’ and really enjoy their company. < 이은숙 / 법환해녀학교 사무장 > 해녀분들이 처음에는 거부감을 가지시다가 이 분들이 싹싹하게 잘 하니까 오히려 더 '애기해녀'하면서 좋아하시고… [REPORTER] Mike Balfour This village which used to be known for its natural disasters is going through a major transformation. Not only is the coastline of Beopwhan Village transforming, it is going through enormous internal and cultural change. MIke Balfour KCTV

  • Moneual’s Jeju property appraised at ₩44.7b
  • Moneual’s Jeju property appraised at \44.7b Company went bankrupt after mortgage fraud uncovered (모뉴엘) Moneual is a company that went bankrupt last year and the value of its property in Jeju is said to be well over 40 billion won. According to Jeju District Court, (모뉴엘) Moneual’s creditor, the Korea Development Bank, requested that a voluntary auction be held and that its local property was appraised at 44.7 billion won. The company declared bankruptcy late last year and shocked the financial industry after it was found to have received loans amounting to trillions of won based on fraudulent export contracts. The company building is the single most expensive property to have ever been appraised in Jeju. It remains to be seen, however, whether an auction for the building will really happen. '부실대출' 모뉴엘 제주사옥 감정가 447억 대출사기 사건으로 파산한 모뉴엘 제주사옥의 감정가가 4백억 원을 넘었습니다. 제주지방법원에 따르면 모뉴엘의 채권은행인 산업은행이 신청한 임의 경매에서 모뉴엘 제주사옥의 감정가는 447억 원으로 산정됐습니다. 모뉴엘은 부당대출 등으로 부채규모만 7천 3백억 원에 달해 지난해 말 파산신고 결정이 내려졌습니다. 이번 모뉴엘 사옥의 경매가액은 제주지역 단일 사옥으로는 사상 최고가로 실제 낙찰로 이어질 지는 미지숩니다.

On Wednesday, Governor Won Heeryong sat down in Seoul with Deputy Prime Minister for the Economy (최경환) Choi Kyung-hwan and said he was concerned about the inconvenience and safety issues that would arise until the new airport opens in 2025.

  • KCTV: Jeju's Second Airport: A Closer Look
  • For a closer look at the plan for the new airport and what it means for the island, Lee Hee-jung now joins me in the studio. [slug] Jeju to get second airport A second airport is planned for development in Sinsan-ri and Onpyoung-ri in Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo. The 2nd airport will be able to handle up to 25 million people per year with a single runway. [slug] Results of feasibility study released on Tuesday The Ministry of Transportation officially announced the results of the Jeju airport infrastructure feasibility review at the provincial office on the 10th. The reports explained that the selected areas benefited from good weather conditions, whilst limiting environmental damage when compared to the other candidate locations. Sync Kim Byoung-jong / Professor, Korea Aerospace University The selected area will cause less damage to the environment, can save development costs, and will create a balance in regional development. <녹취:김병종 한국항공대 교수> "환경훼손이 최소화가 되고, 사업비가 최소화되고 또 제주도내 지역균형 발전에 도움이 된다고 판단이 됐습니다." [slug] Three options were considered The Ministry of Transportation has conducted a thorough review of the three possibilities which include expanding the original airport to twice its original size, closing down the airport and developing a new one, and finally developing a 2nd airport in addition to the existing one. [slug] Expanding existing airport would entail land reclamation The plan to expand the existing airport would require developing a large scale sea land-fill next to the existing airport, which would certainly cause marine damage, and be particularly costly. Developing a new airport to replace the old one was struck off the list due to the great environmental damage it would cause, as well as local residents being deeply opposed to closing down the existing airport. [slug] New facility expected to be up and running by 2025 The Ministry of Transportation will launch another feasibility overview by the end of the year, and open the 2nd airport by 2025. SYNC Son Myoung-soo / Transportation ministry We will work hard to build a topnotch airport and provide excellent facilities for residents and travelers to Jeju, who will be able to more easily enjoy the beauty it has to offer. This will have a huge impact on the tourism industry. <녹취:손명수 국토교통부 공항항행정책관> "빠른시간 내에 좋은 공항을 만들어서 더 많은 사람들이 편리하게 제주를 찾고 또 제주에 와서 제주의 아름다움을 느끼고 그렇게 해서 제주발 발전하고 더 나아가서 대한민국의 관광산업이 발전하고 대한민국의 위상이 높아질 수 있도록 좋은 공항을 만들도록 하겠습니다." [slug] Significant upgrades planned for existing airport In addition to the 2nd airport construction, the original airport will continue its operations. SYNC Won Heeryong / Governor The construction of a second airport is a significant step in the development of the island. It will be a turning point and a quantum leap into the future. <녹취:원희룡 제주특별자치도지사> "제2공항 건설은 50년 전 물과 길의 혁명을 이뤄내며 제주의 비약적인 발전을 이뤄냈듯이 제주를 미래로 이끌 제주의 제2의 전환점이 될 것입니다." One of Jeju’s greatest concerns is its airport’s congested infrastructure. Now the call has come to meet new challenges to speed up the development of the 2nd airport.

  • News Roundup
  • Jeju Ilbo 1. Politics ‘Geographically sound’ location for 2nd airport The paper argues Seongsan is an ideal location for a new airport because of its relatively low elevation, flat landscape, and lack of natural obstacles. This region is, however, often directly influenced by typhoons that move up from Japan. 2. Economy Jeju service industry figures high, but... The latest figures show Jeju’s service industry is booming, thanks to the large net influx of people moving to Jeju and the increasing number of travelers from elsewhere in the country. But sales figures are low in sectors that directly affect local residents, such as accommodations, restaurants, and street vendors. Jemin Ilbo 1. Economy \2t in economic effects expected in seven years The Jemin Ilbo says officials believe Jeju’s second airport will have a local economic ripple effect of two trillion won within 7 years of opening. The provincial government expects the figure to double once the area surrounding the new airport is transformed into a shopping and financial center. 2. Politics ‘Promise’ to resume Yerae project Land Minister-designate (강호인) Kang Ho-in has promised to help resume construction of the controversial resort-type residential complex in (예래) Yerae once he steps into office. The remarks were made at a confirmation hearing at the National Assembly on Tuesday. Halla Ilbo 1. Society Locals displeased with location of 2nd airport Seongsan residents expressed shock and concern Tuesday after their community was named as the location of Jeju’s second airport. The Halla Ilbo says that during an afternoon meeting with the governor, they expressed disappointment that they were not given any prior notice. 2. Administration Decision ends 25 years of speculation The possibility of a building a second airport was first raised in 1990, when the government conducted a feasibility study on developing Jeju International Airport. More than two decades later, the idea gained ground in 2014 when projections were made that the current facility would reach full capacity by 2018.
