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: ‘Drinking Costs Jeju ₩320b Annually’
  • How many days a week do you drink? Statistics show Jeju has the highest frequency of alcohol consumption in the country…and analysts say it costs the island some 320 billion won each year. Joseph Kim reports. Interview I drink at least twice a week… Interview At least three times a week? ### CG IN ### In 2014, the percentage of Jeju residents that were found to have engaged in “high frequency alcohol-drinking”… or drinking at least three times a week… was 13.2 percent… way above the national average of 10.2 percent. Out of the country’s 17 cities and provinces, Jeju had the highest rate of drinkers who consumed alcohol at least once a month... And Jeju had the third highest percentage of “high-risk drinkers”… which means drinking more than seven glasses of alcohol each time for men… and five glasses or more each time for women… and repeating this at least twice a week. ### CG OUT ### Jeju’s “gwendang” (괸당) folk culture, which emphasizes tight inner social circles is seen as one of the reasons drinking is so prevalent here. Another reason is the close distance between work and home. [camera] Ko Moon-su, Moon Ho-seong This “drinking culture” leads directly to huge economic losses. ### CG IN ### Bank of Korea Jeju Branch estimates a total of 320 billion won goes into alcohol-related medical treatments, traffic accidents, fires, hangover cures… and other productivity losses annually. If you divide that by the number of people aged 15 and over in Jeju, that’s 687,000 won in financial losses... per person, every year… which is much higher than the national average of 498,000 won. In Jeju, 49.6 percent of the island’s productivity losses are due to heavy drinking. That’s the highest percentage in the country. Despite the region’s low wages, productivity losses owed to drinking are seen as unusually high in Jeju. ### CG OUT ### Interview Park Jin-ho / Bank of Korea, Jeju branch The large percentage of high-frequency drinkers in Jeju has led to about 320 billion won in alcohol-related costs. That’s 2.5% of the region’s GRDP, much higher than the national average of 1.5%. 인터뷰)박진호 한국은행 제주본부 경제조사팀 과장 주3회 이상 고빈도음주비율이 높다보니깐 제주지역 음주비용이 3천200억 수준으로 GRDP의 2.5%를 차지하고 있는데요, 이는 전국 기준 1.5%를 상회하는 수준으로 전국보다 음주의 경제적 비용이 높다고 할 수 있습니다. [reporter] Joseph Kim A change in Jeju’s drinking culture is called for, as the usually high drinking frequency is an added burden on household spending and is weakening the region’s growth potential.

  • Gangjeong residents excluded from special pardon
  • Gangjeong residents excluded from special pardon Nearly 200 have been fined or jailed for anti-naval base activities Gangjeong residents found guilty of legal violations in relation to their opposition to the naval base being built in their community were not among those granted special Liberation Day pardons. The Ministry of Justice released a list of those receiving amnesty on Thursday. Some 6,000 people with criminal convictions are being pardoned, as are 2.2 million who had received administrative punishments. Despite consistent petitions from Governor Won Heeryong, religious groups, and others, the national government did not extend the pardons to the Gangjeong residents. 550 residents of the village have been indicted for their anti-base activities since 2007. About 200 of them were subsequently either jailed or fined. 강정마을 주민 특별사면 대상 제외 법무부가 오늘 발표한 광복절 특별사면 대상자에 관심이 됐던 강정마을 주민들은 이번에도 제외됐습니다. 법무부는 오늘(13일) 형사범 특별사면 대상자 6천여 명과 각종 행정처분 사면 대상자 220만 명을 발표했습니다. 하지만 그동안 원희룡 지사를 비롯해 여야 정치권과 종교계의 지속적으로 요구에도 강정주민들의 사면은 이뤄지지 않았습니다. 한편 지난 2007년부터 해군기지 공사를 반대하다 기소된 강정마을 주민은 550명으로 이 가운데 2백여 명이 징역형과 벌금형을 선고받았습니다

  • Court issues injunction stopping construction work in Yerae
  • Court issues injunction stopping construction work in Yerae Follows Supreme Court ruling invalidating JDC’s land expropriation A court has ordered the Jeju Free International City Development Center to stop work on a large project in Seogwipo. The Supreme Court in March ruled that the JDC’s expropriation of land for the development was invalid. A group of ex-landowners from the development site in (예래) Yerae-dong sought an injunction that would force the JDC to halt work. The (광주) Gwangju High Court’s 1st Civil Investigative Division sided with them. The company actually doing the work had stopped operations on the project last month. The court’s ruling paralyzes construction on the Berjaya Jeju Resort. The developer is barred from building anything on the land the plaintiffs used to own. 법원, "예래휴향형주거단지 공사 중지" 대법원 판결이후 사업자가 예래동휴양형주거단지 공사를 중단한 가운데 법원에서도 공사 중지 명령이 내려졌습니다 . 광주고등법원 제1민사부는 서귀포시 예래동 원토지주대책협의회가 JDC 등을 상대로 제기한 예래단지 공사중지 가처분신청을 받아들였습니다. 법원 판결로 앞으로 사업자인 버자야제주리조트 주식회사는 원고측 소유였던 사업 부지에서는 일체의 형질변경 공사나 건축 시설물 조성등의 행위를 할 수 없게 됐습니다.
