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 Seeks ‘New Deal’ Support
  • President Moon Jae-in, government officials, governors and mayors gather at Cheongwadae to discuss Korean New Deal initiatives and projects. This is the first meeting on the issue following the announcement of the national program of economic, environmental and social reforms. Governor Won Heeryong, the first speaker at the meeting chaired by the president, gave a presentation on the island's own projects to be implemented under the Korean New Deal. Won sought support from the national government for the deregulation of the electricity market currently held exclusively by the Korea Electric Power Corporation. He then proposed halting any new registrations of internal combustion engine vehicles beginning in 2030. In addition, the governor advocated the development of human resources to train 100,000 skilled Jeju workers. He also sought support for the island's 2023 bid to host the Conference of the Parties, part of the annual UN Convention of Climate Change Conferences. Won cited the province's experiences and success stories which could be shared with the world. Won Heeryong / Jeju Governor The province hopes to host the Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Climate Change in 2023. We need the national government's support. We will use the opportunity to share Jeju and Korea’s experiences and successes. < 원희룡 / 제주특별자치도지사 > 2023년 UN 기후변화 당사국총회를 제주에서 유치하고자 합니다. 중앙정부에서도 도와주시기 바라고요. 이를 통해서 제주와 대한민국의 경험을 전 세계에 선도 모델로 확산시키는 계기가 되도록 역할을 하겠습니다. President Moon emphasized the importance of local projects under the Korean New Deal, saying about half of the 114 trillion won in national funding will be earmarked for local government projects. Combined with local government and private funds, the total budget for the Korean New Deal through the year 2025 will top 160 trillion won. Moon promised financial support, adding that cooperation between local governments, enterprises and residents is essential for the success of the projects. Moon Jae-in / President of the Republic of Korea The national government will strive to financially support local governments' projects under the Korean New Deal and will encourage social reforms for these projects. <문재인 / 대한민국 대통령> 지역균형 뉴딜 사업에 적극적으로 인센티브를 제공하는 등 재정적 지원을 아끼지 않을 것입니다. 지역균형 뉴딜의 원활한 추진을 위한 제도 개선에도 적극 나서겠습니다. Regarding the sale of electricity, relevant ministries are planning to amend current policies and seek deregulation in the electricity market, an issue that has come up at previous forums. Meanwhile, the future of the province's other proposed projects remains unclear as the government has yet to provide guidelines to the governor's requests. For now, though, Seoul's intention to push for deregulation and to allocate New Deal funding will play a key role in the success of the province’s objectives. Todd Thacker, KCTV

  • Number of tourists continues to increase, not reflected in profits
  • Number of tourists continues to increase, not reflected in profits Shift in patterns of consumption due to COVID-19 A growing number of tourists have been traveling to Jeju despite the COVID-19 crisis, but the increase in numbers is not being reflected in the tourism industry. During an administrative affairs auditing session of the Provincial Council’s Culture, Tourism and Sports Committee, the Jeju Tourism Association Chairman, Bu dong-suk (부동석) said that although the number of tourists to Jeju is relatively high, the patterns of consumption has changed, which is hindering an increase in profits. Councilors pointed out that Jeju Island's tourism bureau lacked responsiveness to changing travel trends, and advised the need for countermeasures, as trips like RV leisures, camping, and hiking tours are becoming increasingly popular. Provincial councilors added that since the tourism industry has changed greatly due to the COVID-19 crisis, the province must find new opportunities and take preemptive action. 1. 관광객 수 늘고 있지만 업계 체감은 그대로 코로나 사태 속에서도 제주지역에 많은 관광객들이 입도하고 있지만 관광업계의 체감은 나아지지 않고 있다는 지적입니다. 제주도관광협회 부동석 회장은 도의회 문화관광체육위원회 행정사무감사 자리에서 제주를 찾는 관광객의 인원수가 많아도 소비하는 성향이 이전과 전혀 달라지면서 업계의 이익으로 이어지지 않고 있다며 관광업에 종사하는 도민들의 어려움이 가중되고 있다고 말했습니다. 의원들 역시 개별관광객 위주의 여행으로 차박이나 캠핑, 오름 탐방 등이 유행하고 있지만, 제주도 관광국의 현장 대응성이 상당히 떨어진다며 이에 대한 대책마련이 필요하다고 지적했습니다. 이와 함께 코로나 사태에 따라 크게 변화한 관광시장에서 기회를 찾고 선제적으로 대응할 필요가 있다고 덧붙였습니다.

  • Shore Erosion Reaches Alarming Level
  • Sandy coastlines are under threat of erosion. 70 percent of local sandy coastline has already shown signs of erosion, a situation that could be made worse by climate change and indiscriminate development. There is a strong need for the design and implementation of effective adaptive measures, but there are currently no efforts to mitigate the problem. Joseph Kim reports. This is (하모) Hamo Beach in (대정읍) Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo. The beach had been famous for its fine sand, but the sandy beach has experienced erosion over a decade. Sand traps installed to protect the coast have been destroyed and left unattended. Repeated sand loss and coastal erosion forced the beach to close for safety reasons. The beach has lost its function as a destination for holidaymakers. Unfortunately, (하모) Hamo is not the only beach suffering from erosion. According to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, the erosion rate of the local sandy coast is 72.7 percent. That’s the fourth highest in the nation following (울산) Ulsan and (부산) Busan. Among 11 monitoring locations in Jeju, 8 spots have been classified at alarming or serious levels. Global warming affects most coastlines through inundation and increased erosion. Indiscriminate development near beaches has exacerbated the change in the shoreline. However, the province is sitting on its hands while the coast line is quickly being damaged. No monitoring has been in place and no countermeasures have been established at the local government level. As local sandy beaches are under constant change, systemic measures to mitigate the erosion are required based on the results of monitoring. Joseph Kim, KCTV
