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.

  • 17 Died, But No Causal Link to Vaccines
  • The vaccination rate in Jeju is reaching nearly 70 percent. As the rate grows, additional deaths are reported especially among young people who don't have underlying medical conditions. 17 have died following vaccinations in Jeju however Seoul and the province have concluded that there is no link found between vaccines and the 17 deaths. Joseph Kim reports. [Slug] Man in his forties died in 4 days after vaccination A man in his forties recently died four days after getting the Moderna vaccine in Jeju. He received the second shot of the vaccine at a local clinic on October 19th. [Slug] Chest pain in 2 days after second shot He collapsed while at work with chest pain two days after the vaccination. He was admitted to the ICU of a hospital for treatment but ultimately died. [Slug] Death from acute myocardial infarction, No underlying medical issues He did not have any underlying medical issues. The cause of death was diagnosed as acute myocardial infarction. INTERVIEW Member of bereaved family He was young in his forties and the breadwinner in my family. He had to go to work the next day after the vaccination, and he died 3 days after getting the shot. I'm at a loss for how to live from here. <인터뷰 : 백신 접종 후 사망 유가족> "40대 젊은 가장으로서 백신을 맞고 다음날부터 바로 일을 나갔는데 (숨진지) 백신 맞은지 3일 밖에 안됐거든요. 앞으로 어떻게 살아가야 할지도 막막하고..." [Slug] Woman in her twenties died after Pfizer shot on Oct.14 On October 14th, a woman in her twenties died after getting the second Pfizer shot. Cases of death after receiving jabs are constantly being reported in Jeju. According to the provincial office, 17 deaths have been reported after getting COVID-19 vaccines in Jeju. Among them, ten received the Pfizer vaccine, five AstraZeneca, and two Moderna. By age, the deaths of older adults between 70 and 89 accounted for the largest group, but the proportion of deaths of younger adults in their twenties or forties isn't low. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency has concluded that the 17 cases of death are not linked to vaccines. The KDCA has confirmed that two deaths were linked to COVID-19 vaccines nationwide. The agency explains that it investigates autopsy results, underlying medical conditions, medical records and family health history to determine a causal link to the vaccines. [Slug] Authorities deny causal link between vaccines and death Bereaved families are bruised by authorities' decisions that deaths of their loved ones are not from side-effects of vaccines. They trusted and followed authorities' recommendations and received the vaccines. But authorities don't seem to care about the deaths. Bereaved families have to cope with the sudden loss of their loved ones. INTERVIEW Kim Gyeong-hak / Member, Provincial Council If a reasonable doubt is suggested by the province's medical personnel, the province should share responsibility and pain with bereaved families. The province's own support is needed. <인터뷰 : 김경학 / 제주도의회 의원> "제주도도 관련 의료 인력이 있기 때문에 나름의 합리적인 의심이 있다면 (백신 접종 후 사망을) 유가족의 책임으로만 돌릴 수는 없잖아요. 제주도에서도 별도의 지원 대책이 마련되어야 한다고 봅니다." The province expects that the vaccination rate will reach 70 percent this week. [Reporter] Joseph Kim [Camera] Hyeon Gwang-hoon Disease control policies can't win sympathy from the public if authorities turn away from the pain in these blind spots. Joseph Kim, KCTV
