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 (Dongmun Market)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker takes a brief look at the island’s largest traditional market. Dongmun Market, which is located in the Tapdong area of old Jeju City, is a bustling shopping area with something for everyone. There are at least a dozen busy traditional markets around Jeju Island. They provide communities with fresh local seafood, produce, fruit, and more. But when it comes to sheer size and energy, the Dongmun Traditional Market is second to none. [Slug CG] 300+ merchant stalls feature local foods, clothing, souvenirs Located in Tapdong and not far from Jeju International Airport, this market boasts over 300 stalls. Merchants set up in the early hours of the morning often with wares they caught that day or grew themselves that season. It’s a crowded, noisy, and bustling place, to be sure. But unlike modern department stores with prepackaged groceries, buyers can chose their local produce freely and even haggle over the price. [Slug CG] Night market began daily operations last year With funds from the government, Dongmun Market’s facilities were recently upgraded and signage is now in multiple languages. A smaller night market began daily operation last year. [Slug CG] Enjoy Jeju abalone mixed rice, omegi rice cake, citrus bread You’ll probably feel hungry while you’re shopping, but don’t worry. You can find all sorts of hearty, delicious Jeju comfort foods here, like a bowl of savory abalone mixed rice. If you want something lighter, then how about Jeju omegi ddeok rice cakes, or gyulhareubang bread, which is shaped like a Jeju stone grandfather statue and filled with Jeju citrus. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Just a note of caution to travelers on a tight schedule. Dongmun Market is quite large, so if you’re traveling in a group, be sure to have a prearranged meeting place. You may well find yourself lost amidst all the amazing sights, sounds, and shopping. We wouldn’t want you to miss your flight home! Todd Thacker KCTV

  • New permits possible for ‘green’ freight trucks
  • 5. New permits possible for ‘green’ freight trucks Ban on new permits for other cargo vehicles As part of efforts to reduce fine dust in the air, authorities are restricting new permits for standard commercial freight trucks but allowing them for environmentally-friendly models. Jeju City officials say a revision last year to the Trucking Transport Business Act allows permits for eco-friendly vehicles. The program is limited to trucks powered by hydrogen or electricity and with a loading capacity of under 1.5 tons. Buyers may not transfer the title of the vehicles, and they must directly operate them themselves. Authorities will take administrative action against people who violate those conditions. Punishment may include the revocation of the vehicle permit. 친환경 사업용 화물차 신규허가 가능 미세먼지 저감 차원에서 사업용 화물차의 신규 허가가 제한되는 가운데 친환경 차량에 한해 허가가 가능해집니다. 제주시에 따르면 지난해 화물차 운수사업법이 개정됨에 따라 친환경 화물차 신규 허가가 허용됐습니다. 이에 따라 최대 적재량 1.5톤 미만인 수소 또는 전기 등 친환경 차량에 한해 양도.양수 금지와 직영을 조건으로 신규 허가를 받을 수 있습니다. 허가 조건을 위반할 경우 허가 취소 등 행정 처분을 받게 됩니다.

  • Grants for all children under 6
  • 4. Grants for all children under 6 ₩100,000 monthly beginning this year Authorities will begin this year disbursing a 100,000 won grant monthly for every child on the island under the age of six. A revision to the Child Allowance Law expands beneficiaries to include all children of that age, regardless of household income. The grant had been available only to families with income in the bottom 90 percent. The child support allowance for children from one-parent families is also increasing: from 130,000 won to 200,000 won monthly. More children will qualify, too: the age at which the grants stop is being increased from 14 to 18. Finally, the government will give parents five million won in so-called “congratulatory money” when they adopt a child. That payment will be seven million won for a disabled child. 아동수당·양육비 확대…입양축하금 지원 올해부터 만 6살 미만 모든 아동에게 매달 10만원의 아동수당이 지급됩니다. 개정된 아동수당법에 따르면 소득 하위 90% 가정에게 지급되던 아동수당이 올해부터 소득에 상관없이 일괄적으로 지급됩니다. 아울러 한부모가정 아동양육비가 월 13만원에서 20만원으로 늘고 지원대상도 만 14살에서 18살 미만으로 확대됩니다. 또 아이를 입양할 경우 일반 아동은 5백만 원, 장애아동은 7백만원의 축하금이 지원됩니다.

  • Big Economic Impact
  • Analysts say Jeju has benefited from a lot of free advertising in recent years as it’s been featured in social media and on TV programs. The local branch of the Bank of Korea says one show in particular has had a massive effect. Joseph Kim reports. Hyori's Bed and Breakfast is a television program starring the celebrity couple (이효리) Lee Hyori and (이상순) Lee Sang-soon. It shows the couple's life on the island. Specialists say that the economic impact of the program on Jeju is up to hundreds of billions of won. What impact does the program make on the local tourism industry? -----C.G------------------ The degree of awareness of tourism spots that appeared on the broadcasts increased after the show. Especially, the web search frequency of the least popular spots including (궷물) gwetmul oreum has grown 2,000 fold in a month. -----C.G------------------- The number of Korean nationals visiting the island recorded an all-time high between June 2017 and May 2018 when season one and two of the show aired. Given the unfavorable economic conditions and the reduced number of flights to Jeju, the increase is remarkable. The number was one million more than expected. -----C.G------------------- --C.G---------------------- The growth in the number of tourists made a measurable economic impact. The production inducement effect created at local businesses including restaurants and hotels reached 625 billion won. It has also created some 8,600 jobs. ------C.G--------------------------- The increase of the number of tourists was limited, in terms of time. But the show had a significant impact on tourism trends and contents. INTERVIEW Kim Gwang-ryong / Jeju branch, Bank of Korea A number of tourism spots appeared on the show. They were naturally introduced to viewers through the story in a positive and romantic way.
