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.

  • Groundwater Near Pig Farms Contaminated
  • Contamination of groundwater is a big concern to islanders. Results of recent research show that quality of groundwater near local pig farms is seriously polluted. What's more serious is a lack of regular monitoring of water quality. Todd Thacker reports. [slug] Local pig farm owners apologized for contamination 2 years ago Two years ago, local pig farm owners held a press conference to apologize for their illegal discharge of pig waste. The contamination was first discovered in one of the island's lava tubes. [slug] Pig farms promised not to repeat improper waste discharge At the time, they promised to invest in modern organic waste treatment facilities and strictly monitor their waste disposal practices. However, there have been few changes since the initial incident. [slug] 197 offences identified in last 2 years Some 197 offences have been identified and disciplinary measures have been administered in the past two years. [slug] Concerns growing about water contamination These improper management practices and contaminated groundwater have damaged the island's reputation of having a clean environment. In recent months, health authorities have made surveys of the island’s groundwater quality. The results are disconcerting. cg-in Groundwater at wells near pig farms or liquefied manure-applied farmland was examined. More than half of all wells that were tested had nitrogen isotope levels exceeding permitted levels. This means that a substantial amount of groundwater has animal feces present in it. A shocking 90 percent of wells in Hallim were found to be contaminated. [slug] Contaminated groundwater also found in eastern Jeju Results show that not only groundwater wells in the west, but also those in the east, are contaminated. [slug] Heightened concerns about groundwater mean more surveys are needed Concerns about groundwater quality are rising, but water quality surveys are not made frequently enough to reassure the public. [slug] Province to commission groundwater quality map The province is planning to survey all of the island’s wells. It will put together a comprehensive groundwater quality map, one which can show the level of contamination by region. [slug] Only 5% groundwater wells surveyed Currently, only about 300 wells have been surveyed among 4,800 in Jeju. That only comes to about 5 percent. In fact, the majority of researchers at the Jeju Health and Environment Research Institute could only devote their time to surveying wells in the western part of the island at Hallim. [Reporter] Todd Thacker [Camera] Hyeon Gwang-hoon With a long list of infractions by local farmers and an insufficient number of experts to oversee Jeju’s groundwater supply, a great deal of work will be required to restore not only the aquifer, but also public trust.

  • Councilors urge Japanese Consulate General to sell unused land
  • 2. Councilors urge Japanese Consulate General to sell unused land Japanese consulate fails to secure construction budget for 20 years Provincial lawmakers Kang Seong-min and Lee Seung-ah issued a press release on August 26th calling for the immediate sale of land in Nohyeong-dong, Jeju City owned by the Japanese Consulate General. This followed after a KCTV news report on the unused property of the Japanese Consulate General since its initial date of purchase. The Japanese consulate explained that it had continuously asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan for a budget to construct a new consulate building, but it had not been reflected. The two lawmakers responded that the Japanese consulate should immediately sell the land back to the provincial government as there hasn’t been any progress made over the past 20 years. "노형동 日 방치 부동산 제주도에 매각해야" 최근 KCTV 카메라포커스가 지적한 일본총영사관의 노형동 부동산 장기 방치 논란과 관련해 강성민.이승아 의원이 26일 보도자료를 내고 해당 토지를 즉각 제주도에 매각할 것을 촉구했습니다. 일본 영사관측은 제주도에 제출한 서면답변서에서 건물신축을 위해 외무성에 지속적으로 예산을 요청했지만 반영되지 않은 결과였다고 해명했습니다. 이같은 답변서에 대해 두 의원은 20년동안 예산을 요청하고 성과가 없다는 것은 제주총영사관을 신축할 의사가 없는 것이라며 이제라도 즉각 제주도에 매각해야 한다고 강조했습니다.
