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.

  • Jeju Tourism Revenue Hits 7.6 Tril
  • Jeju Tourism Revenue Hits 7.6 Tril Last year, Jeju Island's tourism revenue hit a historic high, reaching 7.6 trillion won. Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and the Jeju Research Institute released their preliminary estimate for last year's tourism revenue. Compared to the previous year, this represents a 16.4% increase, marking the highest tourism income ever recorded after estimation. The revenue from domestic tourists amounted to 6.7 trillion won, accounting for 89% and experiencing a 15% increase from the previous year. Looking at different sectors, the analysis shows that retail brought in around 2.5 trillion won, accommodation reached approximately 1.3 trillion won, F&B accounted for approximately 1.8 trillion won, and transportation totaled 510 billion won. Last year, as COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in April, there was a surge in individual and family trips, as well as activities like school trips and package tours. However, this year, due to the decrease in Jeju tourists, it is predicted that tourism revenue will decline compared to last year. 제주관광수입 추계 이후 역대 최고치입니다. 내국인 관광객에 의한 수입이 6조 7천억원대로 89%에 이르며 대부분을 차지했고 전년에 비해 15% 증가했습니다. 업종별로 보면 소매업이 2조 5천억원대, 숙박업 1조 3천억원대, 음식점업 1조 8천억원대, 운수업 5천100억원대로 분석됐습니다. 지난해 4월 거리두기가 해제되면서 개별.가족단위는 물론 수학여행과 패키지, 기업연수 등이 잇따랐기 때문으로 분석되고 있습니다. 하지만 올해의 경우 제주관광객이 줄면서 관광수입은 지난해보다 줄어들 것으로 예측되고 있습니다.

  • Online Classes Keeps Studens in Korea
  • Online Classes Keeps Studens in Korea Here is a lecture room at the Jeju National Institute for International Education. Students present on various topics, ranging from humanities to natural sciences, which they have prepared in teams. After the presentations, they receive feedback from foreign education experts. The Jeju National Institute for International Education and the University of New England in Australia have been jointly conducting online video classes for seven years. During the vacation period, they offer in-depth educational courses in humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and convergence studies for local high school students. All classes are conducted in English and are filled with exciting courses such as marine biology and nuclear science. INTERVIEW Son Seo-yeon / G2, Jeju Foreign Language High School It's fascinating to be able to talk with foreign professors and communicate with them, and it's enjoyable to understand things better when we conduct experiments firsthand. INTERVIEW Kim Ga-bin / G2, Sehwa High School Even though it may be difficult to understand the content in Korean, it becomes even more challenging when presented in English. However, it was fun to find content that I could understand. This summer vacation course has about 40 students from eight high schools participating, and it is in high demand with over 20 students being rejected in advance applications. Students, who have become accustomed to online classes due to the impact of COVID-19, are actively participating in the classes. INTERVIEW Oh Myeong-suk / Professor, University of New England, Australia Jeju students are highly skilled in PowerPoint presentations. We conduct a similar summer course in 5 different places, but compared to those, Jeju students' presentation skills and research content are very profound. While vacations are an opportunity to gain diverse experiences, for students who need to consider their academic records, going abroad is not easy. However, the ongoing joint video conferencing classes with the University of New England in Australia have become an opportunity to gain unique experiences and broaden horizons.

  • Jeju Apartment Prices Fall, Despite Nationwide Trend
  • Jeju Apartment Prices Fall, Despite Nationwide Trend While apartment prices across the country have returned to an upward trend, the province continues to see a decline. According to the Korea Real Estate Information Agency, in the fifth week of last month, the selling prices of apartments in the region decreased by 0.05% compared to the previous week while rental prices of apartments in Jeju declined by 0.03% compared to the previous week. In contrast, nationwide apartment selling prices have been showing an upward trend since the middle of last month. Experts attribute the ongoing downward trend in Jeju's apartment prices to the stagnant housing market, where the recovery of buyer sentiment remains elusive. 전국 상승 전환에도 제주 아파트값 '내림세' 전국의 아파트 가격이 상승세로 돌아선 반면 제주지역은 내림세를 이어가고 있습니다. 한국부동산원에 따르면 지난달 다섯째 주 도내 아파트 매매가격은 전주와 비교해 0.05% 하락했습니다. 이와 함께 도내 아파트 전세가격도 전주 대비 0.03% 떨어지며 하락세가 지속됐습니다. 반면 전국 아파트 매매가격은 지난달 중순 상승 전환한 이후 오름세를 보이고 있습니다. 부동산 업계는 주택시장 침체로 매수심리가 회복하지 못하면서 도내 아파트값이 하락세를 이어가고 있는 것으로 분석했습니다.

  • Jeju to Introduce a Responsive Bus System
  • Jeju to Introduce a Responsive Bus System To meet the needs of increased bus routes in rural areas, demand-responsive buses, similar to call-taxis, will be pilot tested beginning next month. Jeju Island has designated (수산리) Susan-ri in (애월읍) Aewol-eup and (태흥리) Taehung-ri in (남원읍) Namwon-eup as trial routes and announced that demand-responsive buses will be tested for the next six months. During the trial operation, the buses will operate on a call-based system, meaning they will pick up passengers at their location when there is a demand, except during commuting hours.
