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.

  • 4. Local retail market oversaturated by convenience stores Number of small supermarkets continue to drop The competition within the local retail market has greatly intensified over the past decade due to rapidly increasing numbers of convenience stores. According to an analysis on the local retail industry released by the Jeju branch of the Bank of Korea, the number of convenience stores in Jeju has nearly quadrupled from 250 in 2009 to 955 in 2017.

On the other hand, the number of small supermarkets smaller than 165 square meters has dropped significantly from 1,100 in 2009 to 790 in 2017. The Jeju Branch of Bank of Korea suggested that the number of convenience stores should be properly controlled. "제주 편의점 과포화 수준…적정관리 필요" 지난 10여 년 동안 제주지역에서 편의점이 소형 슈퍼마켓을 밀어내면서 골목상권 경쟁이 심화된 것으로 나타났습니다. 한국은행 제주본부가 발표한 제주지역 유통업 환경변화에 따른 영향 분석 자료를 보면 편의점 수는 2009년 250개에서 2017년 955개로 4배 가까이 늘었습니다. 이에따라 도내 편의점의 실질포화지수는 194, 지난해 대비 폐업 증가율은 92%로 각각 전국 최고치를 기록했습니다. 반면 매장 면적이 165제곱미터 이하인 소형 슈퍼마켓은 2009년 1천 100여 개에서 2017년 790여 곳으로 크게 줄었습니다. 한국은행은 경쟁력을 잃은 편의점 업주에 대해 자발적인 구조조정을 지원하는 등 편의점 수 적정관리가 필요하다고 제언했습니다.

  • Seogwipo Beaches
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker takes a brief look at four fantastic beaches in Seogwipo. Getting away from the summer heat is surprisingly easy on Jeju. This is especially true if you want to avoid large crowds and don’t mind going to the more remote corners of the island’s south side. Here are some perfect places to cool off while appreciating Seogwipo’s natural beauty. [Slug CG] Pyoseon-ri, Pyoseon-myeon, Seogwipo First off is Pyoseon White Sand Beach. During low tide, this is one of the island’s largest sandy beaches by area. Its white sand, for which it gets its name, is made up mostly of very finely broken up seashells. Along the shoreline is a pine forest, which you can retreat to if the sun gets to be too much. [CG Slug] Nearby attractions: Seongeup Folk Village, Jeju Folk Village Museum Similarly, if you’ve had your fill of the beach, you can also pay a visit to the fascinating nearby tourist destinations of Seongeup Folk Village and Jeju Folk Village Museum. Next up: A beach you may have heard of before. Jungmun Saekdal has a well-deserved reputation as one of Korea’s best beaches. [Slug CG] Saekdal-dong, Seogwipo City It is a stunning piece of coastline with 500 meters of pristine multicolored sand, framed between the ocean and a tall cliff blanketed by a thick forest of trees. This gives it a remote, wild feel. The prevailing winds make it an optimal place for surfing and windsurfing. Chances are you’ll see some people out on the water. [Slug CG] Nearby attractions include Yeomiji Garden, Cheonjiyeon Falls Jungmun Beach is also near some of Jeju’s most interesting museums, attractions, restaurants and luxury accommodations. These include Yeomiji Botanical Garden, Sun-im Bridge, and Cheonjiyeon Falls, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Other Seogwipo beaches of note include Hwasun Golden Sand Beach to the southwest. It is in the stunning shadow of Sanbangsan Mountain and affords beachgoers with a spectacular panoramic view of Gapado Island, Marado Island, and the Hyeongjeseom Islets. And to the east at Sinyang Beach, you can windsurf and swim safely with your family, all within view of the majesty of Seongsan Sunrise Peak. [CG Slug] Todd Thacker With the summer season in full swing, now’s the time to head out and enjoy a healthy, relaxing day along the island's southern coast. Todd Thacker KCTV

  • Rental Car Quotas in Limbo
  • The rental car quota system the province has been eagerly pushing forward has stumbled. Legal battles between the province and opposing rental car companies are going favorable to the companies. Todd Thacker reports. [slug] Court granted injunction against vehicle quota in May Five major rental car companies have refused to participate in the province's rental car quota system. They argue that the mandatory reduction in vehicle numbers infringes upon their right to private property. They applied for a preliminary injunction to suspend the province’s ban and a court granted the injunction in May. The court concluded that the driving ban would cause the plaintiffs irreparable losses. The province immediately appealed the ruling. This was subsequently rejected. The Jeju office of the Gwangju High Court concluded that suspending the quota system would not significantly undermine public welfare when compared to potential losses sustained by the rental car companies. [slug] Driving ban to be invalid until permanent injunction is made The court's ruling makes the province's quota system invalid until it grants a permanent injunction. As the court sided with these large companies, the prospect of future lawsuits for the province seems certain. [slug] If province loses legal fight, 100 local rental car firms can file complaints If the province loses the lawsuit and the rental car quota system flounders, about 100 local rental car firms, which have already decreased their fleets, could file complaints. The province says it is now preparing for the upcoming suits. Their main argument is that Jeju’s status as a special self-governing province gives it the right to enforce controls on rental car fleets. It appears that the province’s rental car quota system is losing steam even before it takes effect. [Reporter] Todd Thacker [Camera] Hyeon Gwang-hoon [CG] Lee Min-gyu If the province fails to present arguments to reverse the provisional injunction, the island’s rental car fleets could soon be back on the roads in full force.
