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.

  • Crackdown on illegal mandarin distribution
  • Crackdown on illegal mandarin distribution Authorities focusing on fruit shipped via parcel service The provincial government plans to carry out an intensive crackdown on the illegal distribution of mandarin oranges through parcel services. The province will form a joint investigative team with municipal police, city offices, and private organizations. Those investigators will then visit parcel company offices and collection sites to check to see if they are distributing sub-par mandarins. Local authorities will also step up monitoring of sales through online shopping sites. If the team uncovers any unripened mandarins being sent via parcel, the fruit will be destroyed and the violator fined up to five million won. 道, 택배 통한 비상품 감귤 유통 집중단속 제주특별자치도가 택배를 이용한 비상품감귤 유통에 대한 집중 단속을 벌입니다. 제주도는 자치경찰과 행정시, 민간단체와 합동단속반을 구성해 도내 택배회사 영업소와 집하장을 대상으로 비상품 출하 여부를 확인하고 인터넷 쇼핑몰에 대한 모니터링도 강화 한다고 밝혔습니다. 택배를 이용해 비상품 감귤을 유통하다 적발될 경우에는 적발된 감귤은 전량 폐기하고 해당 업체에 대해서는 최대 5백만 원의 과태료가 부과됩니다.

  • Jeju Ilbo 1. Administration ‘Carbon-free goal depends on wind power development’ The provincial government plans to reduce carbon emissions in Jeju to zero. Analysts say that will only be possible if some basic infrastructure needs are met for getting power generated by wind turbines to consumers of electricity. 2.

  • KCTV: Jeju Forestland Disappearing
  • The recent surge in developments in Jeju has had a significant impact on the amount of forestland here. Critics say something must be done now to preserve what’s left, before it’s too late. Suejin Choi has more. 48 percent of the land on Jeju Island is covered in forests and wooded areas. These are home to several World Natural Heritage sites… but have been shrinking in size every year. Over the past five years, over 500 plots of forest land have been used to construct houses, buildings and roads. As of 2014, 49% of the forest construction was for housing… 38% for public and storage facilities… 3% for roads and 2% for tourist attractions. [INTERVIEW] Lee Chang-ho / Jeju Forest & Recreation Policy Division Over the past five years, an average 137 hectares of forestland annually was converted to farmland, housing sites, and tourist attractions. <인터뷰: 이창호/ 道 산림휴양정책과장> "최근 5년간 평균 137헥타르의 산지가 다른 용도로 전용됐는데, 전용목적은 농지조성, 주택지조성, 관광지개발이었습니다." Every year, the total area of forest land on the island has been shrinking. Not only is this resulting in the reduction of clean forest air, but the pace of reduction has been speeding up in recent years, and is a cause for concern. [INTERVIEW] Yi Yeong-woong / Jeju Federation of Environmental Movements Jeju’s forests have great public value for their groundwater recharge and recreational opportunities. Measures need to be taken to prevent indiscriminate development so that the forests can be preserved. <인터뷰: 이영웅/ 제주환경운동연합 사무국장> "산림인 경우에는 제주 지하수 함양과 산림 휴양기능 등 공적인 가치가 높기 때문에 무분별한 개발보다는 보전을 위한 제도개선 마련이 필요하다고 보여집니다." [reporter] Suejin Choi Forest land used for land development is almost impossible to restore. This is all the more reason why policies are in urgently needed to strengthen the preservation of Jeju’s natural environment. Suejin Choi KCTV

  • KCTV: Rising Land Prices Complicate Road Development
  • Real estate prices are on the rise… not just in the city but in the suburbs, as well. This is causing a delay in suburban road construction work, as village landowners are asking for higher compensation for their property. Mike Laidman has more. [SLUG] Aewol-eup, Jeju City On this village road in Aewol-eup, Jeju City, only half of the construction work has been completed. Paving was supposed to begin in the second half of this year, but was instead delayed indefinitely after village landowners and road developers failed to reach an agreement on land compensation prices. [SLUG] Compensation disputes cause protracted delays Initially, Jeju City had planned to expand and pave 11 country roads totalling 19.8 kilometers. But as suburban real estate prices continue to jump in value, there has been a growing number of disputes over compensation. Agreement has not been reached on about 30 percent of the land, accounting for six roads. In addition, village landowners are asking the administration to widen the roads the same on either side, causing further delays. [INTERVIEW] Cho Taek-su / Jeju City Road Facilities Division They want the roads to be the same width on both sides, but there are structures in the way that make it hard to do that... <인터뷰:조택수 제주시 도로시설담당> "도로 좌우를 동일하게 해주라고 하는데 도로 구조 문제도 있고 어려운 상황이다..." Jeju City says it will continue to try and reach an agreement with the villagers, but that if a consensus is not reached, the work could go ahead without their consent. [REPORTER] Mike Laidman Villagers have long wanted their old roads to be widened, but now that it is happening, the current real estate boom is getting in the way. Mike Laidman, KCTV
