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.

  • Inspectors at wholesale markets nationwide
  • Inspectors at wholesale markets nationwide Will be on lookout for substandard mandarin oranges As part of those efforts, local inspectors will be assigned to the major wholesale markets around the country. The provincial government says it will station fruit inspectors at ten wholesale markets, including those in Seoul, Busan and Daegu. They will begin work on October first. The inspectors will be monitoring the citrus shipped from the island to ensure none is artificially colored or substandard in quality. Any that is will be returned to the sender. In addition, the provincial government is planning to form a special investigative team to crack down on illegal fruit shipments. The group will be ready to be dispatched whenever needed, and it will include representatives from the provincial police, Nonghyup, and the Jeju Provincial Citrus Marketing and Shipping Association. 전국 도매시장 비상품감귤 단속요원 배치 비상품 감귤 유통 단속 강화를 위해 전국 주요 도매시장마다 단속 요원이 상시 배치됩니다. 제주특별자치도는 서울과 부산, 대구 등 전국 10개 주요도매시장에 감귤유통지도요원을 배치해 다음달 1일부터 활동에 들어간다고 밝혔습니다. 유통지도요원들은 강제착색 감귤과 비상품 감귤을 상장 거부하고 반송 조치하는 업무를 수행하게 됩니다. 이와 함께 제주도는 자치경찰과 농협, 출하연합회 등과 합동으로 특별 단속반을 편성해 비상품 감귤 유통 수시 출장 단속도 진행할 계획입니다.

  • Second attempt to ship illegal mandarins uncovered
  • Second attempt to ship illegal mandarins uncovered Authorities fine violator \3.9m, dispose of fruit Authorities have uncovered the second case this year of someone in Seogwipo attempting to illegally ship unripe mandarin oranges. An investigative team found the violation Tuesday at a fruit sorting facility in (서홍동) Seohong-dong. A farmer was planning to ship 3.9 tons of unripe early-harvested fruit. The sugar content of the fruit was between 5.8 and 6.1 degrees Brix. That’s far lower than the official standard sugar content of the variety. An ordinance on mandarin production and circulation pegs the standard at 8 degrees Brix. The inspectors fined the farmer 3.9 million won and they will destroy all the fruit. With Chuseok just a few days away, officials will be keeping a closer eye on mandarin shipments to make sure all of the fruit is cleared for sale. 비상품 감귤 유통 시도 또 적발 비상품 감귤을 유통하려 한 행위가 서귀포에서 또 적발됐습니다. 서귀포시 감귤 단속반은 그제(15일) 서귀포시 서홍동에 있는 한 선과장에서 극조생 미숙 감귤 3.9톤을 유통하려고 보관하던 감귤농가를 적발했다고 밝혔습니다. 적발된 감귤은 당도 5.8에서 6.1브릭스 사이로 감귤생산유통 조례에 따른 극조생 감귤상품 기준인 8브릭스보다 한참 낮은 것입니다. 단속반은 해당 농가에 대해 과태료 390만원을 부과하고 적발된 비상품 감귤을 전량 폐기하기로 했습니다. 이와함께 추석 명절을 앞두고 비상품 감귤 유통 행위가 늘어날 것으로 보고, 민간인 단속반을 투입하는 등 단속을 강화할 계획입니다.

  • KCTV: Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. Another week passes, a few more movies open, and I tell you whether or not they’re worth your time and hard-earned cash. This week, two dramas, one a thriller, the other action. So what connects them? Sub-par reviews, for the most part. But before you write both of them off, each features a couple well-known faces, and if you’re looking for something to burn away a few hours this weekend, you could probably do worse. Plus there’s always caramel popcorn… Here are The Truth About Emanuel and Kidnapping Mr. Heineken. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] The Truth About Emanuel (2014, Francesca Gregorini) A troubled girl becomes preoccupied with her new neighbor. It’s amazing how hard it is to predict how good a movie will be, even based on all the information to which we have access. I’ll admit the title to this one does nothing for me, but the trailer, actors, and premise all had me thinking that this was going to be a pretty solid little thriller. I have to admit I haven't seen it yet, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. With middling reviews, there’s really no compelling reason to recommend The Truth About Emanuel. Let’s see what’s going on here. Emanuel is a troubled girl who becomes preoccupied with her mysterious new neighbor, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to her dead mother. In offering to baby-sit Linda's newborn, Emanuel unwittingly enters a fragile, fictional world, of which she becomes the gatekeeper. The problem with the movie is that it’s a little too wild from the get-go, too confused and over-the-top. There are some positive audience reviews floating around out there, though, so give it a chance if you’re curious. [Slug CG] Kidnapping Mr. Heineken (2015, Daniel Alfredson) The true story of beer tycoon Alfred Heineken’s kidnapping. Here’s another example of an interesting idea that just didn’t pan out the way people hoped. Kidnapping Mr. Heineken tells the inside story of the planning, execution, rousing aftermath and ultimate downfall of the kidnappers of beer tycoon Alfred "Freddy" Heineken, which resulted in the largest ransom ever paid for an individual. The issue here is that despite the exciting, real-life story, the movie is just too predictable and generic. There’s great potential here to really follow through with the source material and present something new and exciting, but that just doesn’t happen. Instead, we’re left with a flat, half-hearted version of what could have been.

  • Jeju Ilbo 1. Administration Tightened regulations on mandarin shipping If a mandarin orange sorting facility is caught for shipping violations more than once, it will be closed and all of the fruit it illegally shipped will be destroyed. 2. Society ‘Drenched waiting for bus’ There are about 2,700 bus stops on the island, but only 1,600 of them offer shelter from the rain. Many passengers end up getting drenched waiting for their rides. Jemin Ilbo 1. Society First battleships arrive in Gangjeong The Jemin Ilbo is reporting on the first warships to dock at the dual-use military and civilian port in Gangjeong, Seogwipo. The navy will send more than 20 types of vessels to the base for testing before December. 2. Economy ‘Government spending has little impact on income’ According to the Jeju branch of Bank of Korea, the local government spends more than 3 trillion won a year, but that does little to affect island income. Analysts say the local economy is too vulnerable to external shocks, like the sinking of the Sewol ferry and MERS. Halla Ilbo 1. Society No money for stone wall preservation The province has come up with long-term preservation plans for the island’s stone walls, which were designated as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System last year. Seoul has reportedly balked at funding the initiative, however, unless there is a specific short-term plan. 2. Economy Public intrusion into private market? The Halla Ilbo is also reporting that a firm called J-Creation, launched a bottled water product this month that uses seawater filtered through the island’s volcanic bedrock. This comes as the JPDC continues to develop a similar product. Yonhap 1. Nation Body of another Dolgorae victim recovered Yonhap is reporting that the body of another passenger missing from a capsized fishing boat was recovered Wednesday, raising the death toll to 13. Three people who were on the Dolgorae were rescued by another fishing boat. Five others are still missing. 2. North Korea Kerry warns N. Korea of ‘severe consequences’ U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned Wednesday that North Korea will face "severe consequences" if it forges ahead with irresponsible provocations, a day after Pyongyang apparently threatened a nuclear test.

  • ‘Come to Jeju by ferry!’
  • ‘Come to Jeju by ferry!’ 70,000+ tourists arrived on vessels from mainland last month Local authorities are trying to persuade more people from the mainland to visit Jeju by ferry. The province and the Jeju Provincial Tourism Association set up booths in the (호남) Honam region to promote the island as a tourist destination. They are working in a cooperation with ship operators that offer Jeju service and the Korea Railroad Corporation.
