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: A to Z (Saryeoni Forest Trail)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker takes a brief look Saryeoni Forest and its popular walking trail, located in a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve east of Jeju City. This is the Saryeoni Forest Trail, a popular course that meanders north-south between Jeju City and Seogwipo on the eastern side of Hallasan Mountain. [Slug CG] Saryeoni Forest Trail suitable for all ages, fitness levels The full 15-kilometer course runs through Jeju’s UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve. About 500 to 600 meters above sea level, it is an evenly graded path that is walkable by people of all ages and fitness levels. Known for its annual “eco-healing” walks and associated programs, hikers can spot a wide variety of trees, including dogwood, maple, and hornbeam. The forest’s cedar and cypress trees are home to many bird species. [Slug CG] Variety of trees, geological formations On the southern end of the trail is Saryeoni Oreum, the tallest volcanic cone in the area. It is noteworthy for its horse-shoe shape, steep slopes and a small volcanic feature on its western side. If you’d like to take a stroll along the path, there are some recent developments to keep in mind. [Slug CG] Improved facilities, parking relocated off-site Given the popularity of this forest trail, the local government has improved public facilities including washrooms and benches. However, space for individual cars is quite limited. To solve this problem, Jeju City has relocated the parking areas and increased city bus service and shuttle buses. Note that Mulchat Oreum, which is also also along the trail, is closed to hikers for most of the year so that the volcanic cone’s natural ecology can recover. However, this year it will open to small groups of hikers, with no reservations required, from June 16th to 24th. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Saryeoni’s peaceful walking path and distinctive volcanic cone provide both locals and visitors alike with the chance to enjoy this area’s own small piece of paradise.
