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.

  • More Questioning Committee’s Role
  • The provincial government recently convened a meeting of the Capital Verification Committee for the (오라) Ora Tourism Complex development. There are growing questions about the role and effectiveness of the group that is charged with identifying and verifying the sources of funding for the project. Joseph Kim explains. [slug] Capital Verification Committee meets for first time in 9 months The Capital Verification Committee meeting was held last week for the Ora Tourism Complex. It has been nine months since its latest meeting in March, 2018. Recording Park Sang-moon / Chair, Capital Verification Committee This committee will discuss and work toward positive decisions regarding the facets of the Ora Tourism Complex that worry area residents, the provincial council, and the local government. 씽크)박상문 오라관광단지 자본검증위원장 도민들이 걱정하는, 도의회, 행정당국에서 고민하고 있는 부분에 대해 검증위원회에서 많은 위원들과 같이 논의하고 좋은 방향으로 결정지을 수 있도록... However, the results of the committee are disappointing to residents. The committee has reviewed documents submitted by the Ora Tourism Complex developer for a year, but it was evaluated that the committee failed to identify the capital. The committee agreed that if the developer makes a deposit into an account owned by the province by June this year, the committee will write up its final conclusion on the verification work. The committee is asking for a deposit of 337.3 billion won. It’s ten percent of the development cost of 5.218 trillion won after subtracting 1.8 trillion won of revenue generated by selling off parts of the tourism complex land. This could mean that if the developer pays a portion of the development expenses to the province, the committee would give the developer the green light. [slug] More questioning committee’s role The committee was formed to verify the development project, financial eligibility, and financial supply plan. But questions are raised on the roles of the committee. In addition, the province’s initial plan to hire an agency to evaluate the credit of the developer has been canceled. There has been a controversy over the validity and effectiveness of the committee since its foundation. [Reporter] Joseph Kim [Camera] Kim Seung-cheol Meanwhile, the construction of the (오라) Ora Tourism Complex has been suspended since the motion regarding the environmental impact of the development was submitted to the provincial council in March 2017.

  • New variety of mandarin orange developed
  • 5. New variety of mandarin orange developed ‘Gaeulhyang’ planned for distribution to growers in 2022 Local researchers have developed a new variety of mandarin orange. Jeju Agricultural Research and Extension Services has filed an application with the Korea Seed and Variety Service to protect the new citrus type, which it calls (가을향) gaeulhyang. Gaeulhyang is completely colored by the end of October and can be harvested around mid-November. It weighs around 200 grams, and it has sugar content of 13 degrees brix and acidity below 0.8 percent. Growers say it’s easier to peel and that its peel has fewer problems than the (황금향) hwanggeumhyang variety. The agricultural institute plans to plant 8,000 (가을향) gaeulhyang trees this year, so that it can begin distributing them to area farmers in 2022. 감귤 신품종 '가을향' 개발…2022년 보급 11월과 12월에 출하되는 새로운 만감류 감귤 '가을향'이 개발됐습니다. 제주도농업기술원은 최근 국립종자원에 새롭게 개발한 만감류 '가을향'을 품종보호 출원했습니다. 가을향은 10월 하순쯤 완전 착색돼 11월 중순 수확하게 되는 품종으로 과실의 무게는 200g 내외, 당도 13브릭스, 산함량 0.8% 이하를 지니는게 특징입니다. 특히, 황금향보다 껍질을 벗기기가 쉽고 과피 장해가 적은게 장점으로 꼽힙니다. 농업기술원은 올해 묘목 8천그루를 육성해 2022년부터 농가 실증재배를 거쳐 확대 보급한다는 계획입니다.

  • Authorities enforcing positive list system
  • 4. Authorities enforcing positive list system New rules for agricultural chemical residue Beginning this year, officials are fully enforcing what’s called a positive list system to regulate agricultural chemical residues in food and food products. The PLS limits the maximum residue level for pesticides and other chemicals not expressly identified in regulations to 0.01 parts per million, which analysts say is equivalent to being undetectable. The provincial government will dispose or delay the shipment of products that fail to meet the requirement. Violators also face fines of up to one million won. 미등록 농약 사용 제한 'PLS' 본격 시행 올해부터 미등록 농약 사용을 제한하는 농약허용물질 관리제도, 즉 PLS가 전면 시행됩니다. PLS는 당국에 등록되지 않은 농약의 경우 잔류농약 허용기준을 사실상 불검출 수준인 0.01ppm으로 제한한 제도입니다. 제주도는 미등록 농약 허용기준을 초과한 농산물을 폐기나 출하 연기하고 농가에는 최대 100만 원의 과태료를 부과할 계획입니다.

  • Chinese investors oppose tax hike
  • 3. Chinese investors oppose tax hike Province increases taxes on foreign-owned condos from 0.25% to 4% Chinese investors oppose the provincial government’s decision to increase the tax burden on non-Koreans who bought condominiums here but who do not live in them. An association of foreign investors who immigrated to the island held a press conference at the Provincial Office Wednesday. They called on the province to repeal its decision to expand the tax rate to 4 percent on condominiums bought by foreign investors, arguing that doing so breaks the provincial government’s promise of taxing those properties by only 0.25 percent. '제주 콘도 별장세' 中 투자자 반발 제주도가 외국인이 소유하고 있지만 실제로 거주는 하지 않는 휴양형체류시설에 대해 이른바 별장세를 부과하기로 하면서 이 곳에 투자한 중국인들이 반발하고 나섰습니다. 제주도 외국인 부통산 투자이민자 연합회는 2일 제주도의회 도민의 방에서 기자회견을 열고 제주도가 당초 외국인 분양 콘도에 0.25%의 일반과세만 하겠다는 약속과는 달리 4%의 중과세를 제도화하려 한다며 중과세 부과 철회를 촉구했습니다.

  • Jeju: A to Z (Altteureu Airfield)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker takes a brief look at Altteureu Airfield. This site in Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo has a dismal history of military occupation. It was used as a launching ground for air attacks on China and kamikaze raids in the final months of World War 2. Jeju Island has always been a strategic location for both marine trade and, unfortunately, in times of war. From the Mongolian and Japanese invasions of centuries past, to the more recent occupation of Korea by Japan at the start of the 20th century, the island bears the scars of many military campaigns. [Slug CG] Sangmo-ri, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo One area in the southwest of the island near Sangmo-ri, Daejeong-eup, is a prime example of this lasting evidence of military infrastructure. Altteureu (알뜨르), which means “a field down under” was once a massive 264-hectare airfield used by Japanese forces. It was the staging ground for long-distance air raids during the Sino-Japanese War, and later used to launch kamikaze raids during the final months of World War 2. Much of the construction was done by locals who were forced to labor under miserable conditions. [Slug CG] 20 decrepit concrete hangars dot the area Some 20 decrepit concrete hangars and part of the control tower still sit among rows of cabbages growing in the rich soil. In the background is a beautiful view of Sanbangsan Mountain and Hallasan Mountain to the northeast, and Songaksan Mountain to the south. [Slug CG] Registered cultural heritage includes anti-aircraft emplacement In the area is an anti-aircraft emplacement built on a nearby oreum, or volcanic cone, and an underground bunker, which is registered Korea Cultural Heritage No. 312. The provincial government is also conducting research into these military facilities and their history. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker The airfield is listed as national property and is under the purview of the Ministry of National Defense, though there have been discussions about a transfer back to the province sometime in the future.
