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.

  • Facility Management Corp. bill on hold ‘again’
  • 2. Facility Management Corp. bill on hold ‘again’ Provincial council chairman points out financial concerns An ordinance to establish the Jeju Facility Management Corporation was finally passed at the standing committee, but has been shelved once more at the provincial council’s regular session. Thus, whether the public corporation will be established next year remains unclear. At the closing ceremony of this year's last preliminary session held on Tuesday, provincial council Chairman Kim Tae-seok decided to shelve the bill again due to financial concerns and a need for more careful planning. In particular, he argued that establishing the Facility Management Corporation could be a waste of tax money and may put more financial burden on the provincial government. Meanwhile, councilor Kim Hwang-kok (김황국) said that the chairman’s repeated decision to shelve the bill incapacitates the standing committee and provincial councilors. 시설공단 조례 '상정 보류'…"재정압박 우려" 제주도의회 제출된 지 반년 만에 상임위원회를 통과한 시설관리공단 설립 조례안이 본회의에서 상정 보류돼 내년 설립도 불투명해졌습니다. 김태석 도의회 의장은 24일 열린 올해 마지막 임시회 폐회식에서 앞으로 우려되는 재정 악화 등을 고려할 때 보다 면밀한 계획이 필요하다면서 시설공단 조례안을 직권으로 상정하지 않았습니다. 특히 시설공단 설립은 재정이 어려운 현 상황에서 도민혈세 낭비와 재정압박의 큰 요인이 될 수 있다고 주장했습니다. 한편 김황국 도의원은 의장 직권으로 안건 상정이 보류된 것은 상임위원회를 무력화시키고 의원 의견을 존중하지 않는 행태라고 반발했습니다.

  • Jeju Sea Levels Rising Fast
  • Over the last three decades, the sea level around the island has risen more than 4 millimeters every year on average. That’s the highest in the nation and the rate of rise has been increasing. Todd Thacker reports. Since 1989, the sea level around Jeju has risen on average 4.26 millimeters annually. That is a 13 centimeter increase in the last three decades. The national annual average is 2.97 millimeters per year. Levels for the West Sea, South Sea and East Sea are below 3.5 millimeters. Jeju waters have recorded the highest sea level rise at 4.26 millimeters annually. By region, the sea level observation station in Jeju City observed the highest increase at 5.43 millimeters. Seogwipo City measured the same as the national average. A major issue of concern is that the rate is increasing. [slug] Global warming accelerates, melting glaciers and raising ocean temperatures The culprit is the acceleration of global warming. Excessive emissions of carbon dioxide is heating the planet. Ocean temperatures rise and glaciers melt as the climate warms, increasing the overall volume of the sea. INTERVIEW Yi Eun-il / Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency The warm Tsushima current could contribute to faster sea level rise in Jeju waters. The seabed where some observation stations are located may have also sank, making it look as if the local sea levels have risen more than other regions. <인터뷰 : 이은일 / 국립해양조사원 연구실장> "제주도가 높은 이유는 전 세계적인 해수면 상승에다가 제주 인근 해역의 대마난류의 영향에 의해서 요인이 될 수도 있고요. 그 지역에서 조의계가 설치된 지점에서 국지적인 침하가 일어나서."
