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.

  • Officials to investigate recently bought farmland
  • Officials to investigate recently bought farmland Probe through November 30 of non-Jeju owners of local land Officials in Jeju City and Seogwipo will investigate recently bought farmland. The investigation will run through November 30th. Officials will be looking at all of the farmland that has changed hands over the last three years and that is currently owned by either non-Koreans or mainlanders. They will check to see if the land is actually being used for agriculture and whether landowners are implementing the plans they submitted to their municipal governments. If a landowner has not farmed the land without a valid reason, he or she will be required to sell the land within a year and be disqualified from owning farmland for three years. The investigators say they will also report anyone who was found to have lied or gamed the system when they bought the farmland to judicial agencies. 농지이용실태 특별 전수조사 제주시와 서귀포시 등 양 행정시가 최근 3년 동안 취득한 농지를 대상으로 농지이용실태를 특별 전수조사 합니다. 조사기간은 오는 11월 30일 까지며 최근 3년 내에 외국인이나 도외거주자가 소유한 농지를 대상으로 경작 유무와 현황, 농업경영계획서 이행 여부를 조사하게 됩니다. 조사결과 정당한 사유없이 농사를 짓지 않는 농지 소유자에 대해서는 1년 이내에 해당 농지를 처분하도록 하고 향후 3년간 농지전용을 제한할 방침입니다. 특히 편법 또는 거짓으로 농지를 취득한 사실이 확인될 경우 사법기관에 고발하기로 했습니다.

  • KCTV: Guam: Holiday Resort and Shopping Haven
  • The US island territory of Guam is a popular tourist destination, loved for its natural environment year round...and it’s got a lot to offer shop-a-holics. Lee Hee-jung reports. Guam, located in the west Pacific, is a relatively short 4 hour flight away from Korea. Coral beaches line the island, making for a breathtaking sight. Thanks to its mild climate, tourists can enjoy the island’s beaches and watersports activities throughout the year. Guam is also known to be safe and family friendly. [INTERVIEW] Kim Ji-hyun, Kwon Soon-oh / Korean tourists Compared to Jeju, which seems crowded with local and Chinese tourists, it’s quieter in Guam, so I feel more relaxed. 김지현, 권순오 한국관광객 "제주는 국내 관광객들과 중국관광객들이 많아서 사람이 많다라는 느낌이 드는 반면에 괌은 한가한 느낌이 들어서 좀 더 편한것 같아요." Guam is not only a great travel destination for beach-lovers and watersports-enthusiasts… it’s a shopper’s paradise. With duty-free status across the entire island, tourists can buy a wide variety of American goods at low prices. Although Guam is not a US state, it is US territory. And the number of visitors to the island continue to grow each year. In 2014, over 1.3 million tourists visited the island. [Camera] Kim Yong-min Japanese vacationers made up the largest proportion of visitors to Guam at 810,000 followed by Korean tourists at 300,000. The number of Chinese tourists stood at a mere 16,000 last year but is expected to rise significantly this year as China and the US have agreed on a visa extension for Chinese tourists.

  • ‘Sparkling water to be launched early 2016’
  • ‘Sparkling water to be launched early 2016’ JPDC teaming up with Cheil Jedang for new product Following the success it has had with Samdasoo, the Jeju Provincial Development Corporation is developing bottled carbonated water. At a Monday press conference at the provincial office, CEO (김영철) Kim Yeong-cheol said the corporation is working with (제일제당) Cheil Jedang on the project. They are planning to launch a premium brand of carbonated water early next year. Kim said that analysts project slower growth in the mineral water market, which has been expanding by over ten percent annually. He said that’s why the JPDC is looking to break out into a new niche market. Growth in the domestic market for carbonated water is exploding, with it at least doubling every year. Kim said the JPDC will have another winner on its hands if it can sell healthy, sparkling water in various flavors. "내년 상반기 목표 탄산수 제품 출시" 제주도개발공사가 삼다수에 이어 이번에는 탄산수 개발에 나섭니다. 김영철 제주도개발공사 사장은 오늘 오전 제주도청 기자실에서 기자회견을 갖고 CJ 제일제당과 함께 오는 2016년 상반기 출시를 목표로 프리미엄급의 탄산수 제품을 출시하겠다고 밝혔습니다. 이같은 배경은 먹는샘물 시장의 경우 연평균 10%대의 높은 성장을 지속해 왔으나 앞으로 점차 둔화될 것으로 예상돼 제2의 미래 성장사업을 발굴하기 위한 차원이라고 설명했습니다. 김영철 사장은 현재 탄산수의 국내시장 규모가 매년 두 배 이상의 성장세를 보이고 있는 만큼 충분히 성장 가능성이 있다고 판단되며 청정 제주의 물이라는 기본 재료에 다양한 맛과 기능성을 추가한다면 성공할 수 있을 것으로 기대했습니다.
