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: Scholars Call for Re-Evaluation of Fossil Tracks
  • Over the past couple of weeks, we have been airing a series of special news reports on questionable facts that surround fossilized footprints in Seogwipo. Academic experts say the time period for when the tracks were made needs reviewing but the Cultural Heritage Administration is hesitant to call for more study. Mike Balfour has more. [slug] Cultural Heritage Administration lukewarm on fossil re-evaluation request Scholars are divided over when these fossil footprints in Seogwipo were made, but the Cultural Heritage Administration seems unenthusiastic about conducting a re-examination of the tracksite. Many academics agree that there is need for a re-examination but the Cultural Heritage Administration says it has yet to receive an official request on the matter. The Cultural Heritage Administration says the fossilized footprints date back 15,000 years based on a 2006 study by two professors. But the Cultural Heritage Administration has not explained why it chose to quote that particular study over many others that have suggested otherwise. It has also refused to comment on the common opinion of many experts in archeology, meteorology and geology who claim the fossil footprints were not made 15 thousand years ago but 3 to 4 thousand years ago. [slug] CHA ‘hesitant’ to re-examine issue The Cultural Heritage Administration is taking a lukewarm position on re-examining the site, despite its obligation to give out precise facts about the country’s cultural heritage. The Seogwipo Provincial Government, on the other hand, remains hopeful. It says once a formal request has been made and approved, it will be possible to enter the conservation site where the footprints lie… and further research can go on from there. [INTERVIEW] Kim Young-gwan / Cultural Heritage Division, Seogwipo We can examine the stratigraphy of another sample from the same region in the same condition... and if the time period turns out to be different, we may need to conduct further research with a third party organization or jointly with both parties involved. < 김영관 / 서귀포시 문화재 담당 > 똑같은 조건, 지역에서 시·발굴 조사를 통해 지층의 단면을 조사해 연대가 상이하게 나왔을 경우 제3의 기관이나 양쪽이 공동 참여하는 /// 연대 입증 조사연구가 필요할 것이라 보여집니다. [REPORTER] Mike Balfour While academicians remain divided over when the fossilized footprints were made, the Cultural Heritage Administration is without comment on the matter. Mike Balfour KCTV

  • Conversion of Seongsan HS on track
  • Conversion of Seongsan HS on track Process underway to turn it into national maritime high school Authorities have drawn up plans to convert (성산) Seongsan High School into a national maritime high school. According to one of Jeju’s representatives at the National Assembly, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries will launch procedures to open a maritime school on the island in 2017. (김우남) Kim Wu-nam says the ministry is reviewing the budget for the project and other details this month. Officials are planning to issue advance notice of a revision to the Decree on the Establishment of National Maritime High Schools, subject the proposal to a thorough examination by the Cabinet council, and make the revised decree public next month. The provincial office of education submitted a number of documents in support of the project to the ministry last month. It handed in the results of a feasibility study, a conversion proposal, and a list of signatures of people supporting the plan. Researchers concluded that the change into a national maritime high school would be both legitimate and feasible. 해수부, 성산고 국립해사고 전환 절차 추진 성산고등학교를 국립 해사고로 전환하기 위한 계획이 마련됐습니다. 국회 김우남 의원에 따르면 해양수산부는 이달 안에 비용 등 구체적 방안을 검토하는 등 2017년 개교를 목표로 성산고를 국립해사고로 전환하기 위한 절차를 추진할 계획입니다. 이어 다음달 중 국립해사고 설치령 개정안을 입법예고하고 국무회의 심의를 거쳐 이를 공포한 뒤 2017년 개교를 목표로 사업을 추진한다는 방침입니다. 한편 제주도교육청은 지난달 성산고의 국립 해사고 전환이 타당하다는 용역결과와 함께 국립 해사고 전환을 요청하는 건의문과 서명을 해수부에 제출했습니다.

  • KCTV: Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. Sure enough, after a couple slow weeks, there are more movies opening than we have time to cover. If you’re interested in horror, check out The Woman in Black 2 and Ghoul. Want some fantasy action? Then Last Knights might be more up your alley. But don’t get your hopes up about any of these; they’re all being described as solidly mediocre, or less. Instead, we’ll be looking at Self/less and Straight Outta Compton, one I’ve chosen for its interesting premise despite its middling reviews, and the other specifically for its reviews. Here we go, then... [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Self/less (2015, Tarsem Singh) A dying man transfers his consciousness into a young body. I must say I’m a little disappointed to see that this sci-fi thriller isn’t doing too well, as it’s right up my alley. I’m a fan of both Ben Kingsley and Ryan Reynolds, and the subject matter in Self/less is enough to make anyone interested in sci-fi stand up and take notice. So what goes on? Let’s check it out. An extremely wealthy man, dying from cancer, undergoes a radical medical procedure that transfers his consciousness into the body of a healthy young man. But all is not as it seems when he starts to uncover the mystery of the body's origin and the secret organization that will kill to protect its cause. Sounds great to me, but it does have its flaws, namely that it just doesn’t do enough with its potential-packed premise. [Slug CG] Straight Outta Compton (2015, F. Gary Gray) Next up is the highly-praised biopic from director F. Gary Gray, who walks the solid cast through a series of engaging performances. In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton tells the astonishing story of how these young men forever revolutionized music and pop culture and ignited a cultural war the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood. A truly great music biopic, it is both slick, timely, as well as provocative.

  • Mandarin growers encouraged to thin out fruit
  • Mandarin growers encouraged to thin out fruit Officials warn glut could put downward pressure on prices In more news from the citrus industry, mandarin orange growers have begun thinning out their crops in order to ensure that only high quality fruit makes it to market. The administration, agricultural organizations like Nonghyup, and growers are conducting a campaign through October 10th to encourage more people to toss out their substandard fruit. Researchers from a fruit survey committee expect a relatively large harvest this year, including smaller fruit. That’s why they argue it is essential to thin it out manually. Agricultural officials say that a failure to get rid of lower quality fruit could lead to a glut and drive down prices for all growers. 道, 열매솎기 범도민운동 전개 제주특별자치도가 열매솎기 범도민운동을 전개합니다. 이를 위해 행정기관은 물론 농수축협 등 생산자단체, 농업인단체, 감귤재배농업인을 중심으로 다음달 10일까지 대대적인 열매솎기 운동을 추진합니다. 이번 열매솎기 운동은 관측조사결과 지난해산에 비해 생산량은 물론 소과 발생량 또한 예년에 비해 많을 것으로 예상되기 때문입니다. 제주도는 자칫 올해산 감귤 역시 제값을 받지 못할 가능성이 있는 만큼 열매솎기에 적극 동참해 줄 것을 당부하고 있습니다.

  • Police uncover year’s first case of illegal mandarin coloring
  • Police uncover year’s first case of illegal mandarin coloring 41 tons of unripe fruit in Hyodon-dong, Seogwipo Authorities have uncovered the first case this year of someone illegally coloring outdoor-grown mandarin oranges. A joint investigative team that consists of officials from Jeju City, Seogwipo, and the provincial police found the violation Wednesday at an agricultural cooperative in (효돈동) Hyodon-dong, Seogwipo. The cooperative was planning to ship to the mainland 41 tons of unripe fruit that had been colored to appear like it was ready to eat. The person or people involved allegedly bought the substandard mandarins from greenhouse growers. The team fined the cooperative 8.64 million won and will destroy all the fruit.
