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.

  • COVID-19 reduces the number of foreign residents in Jeju
  • COVID-19 reduces the number of foreign residents in Jeju Expat population drops by over 9% in a year The number of registered foreigners residing in Jeju has decreased in the past year. According to the population status released by Jeju Island, there were 23,168 registered foreigners residing on the island as of last November, which was a decrease of 2,500, or 9.47%, compared to the previous year. It is largely believed that the reason for the decrease is due to the growing number of expats returning to their home countries because of the pandemic. 6. 코로나19로 제주 외국인 인구 감소 지난해 제주지역 등록외국인이 감소했습니다 제주도가 공개한 인구현황에 따르면 지난해 11월 등록외국인은 2만 3천168명으로 전년보다 2천500명이 줄어 9.74% 감소한 것으로 나타났습니다. 도내 등록외국인이 감소한 이유는 코로나19 사태로 본국으로 돌아가는 외국인이 늘어났기 때문으로 풀이됩니다.

  • Soaring Grocery Prices
  • Local grocery store prices are soaring. As people are choosing to cook meals at home more during the pandemic, demand for groceries is skyrocketing. However, with the low production of crops this year due to unfavorable weather conditions and also with the outbreak of animal diseases around the nation, grocery prices have increased dramatically. Mike Laidman reports. A shopper hesitates before putting these apples back where they were. Demand for apples and pears is increasing with the Lunar New Year coming soon. But fruit supplies all around the country have decreased due to unfavorable weather conditions last year, leaving consumers with no choice but to pay a hefty price should they want certain foods. The average retail price of a bag of ten apples is between 33,000 and 34,000 won at local traditional markets. That’s 66 percent higher when compared with prices last year. Pears, too, have skyrocketed, by about 35 percent. Meat and egg prices are also going up due to the outbreak of some animal diseases. African swine fever and avian flu mean that meat supplies are down, but demand for meat is up, due to more people cooking at home amid COVID-19 restrictions. Beef prices have increased 9 percent from 2020 prices, pork by 10 percent, and eggs, 30 percent. But it’s not only fruits and meats seeing these price hikes. It's much the same story for vegetables. Back-to-back cold spells this winter caused frost damage, killing crops and leading to the current situation. But despite this, prices of Chinese cabbage, radishes, and carrots are comparatively stable. Conversely, prices of white onions are up 27 percent, and tomatoes, 17 percent. These steep increases in common household foods are burdening homes. According to the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation, this year’s Lunar New Year ritual would cost roughly 263,000 won if a consumer shopped at a traditional market, and about 362,000 won at a big supermarket - prices that are 14 percent higher than last year. Already stung by a year of COVID-19 distress, households across the country are now feeling the effects of soaring essential food prices. Mike Laidman, KCTV
