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.

  • ‘End to water shortages’
  • 4. ‘End to water shortages’ Province to integrate management of farming and residential water The provincial government will combine its management of water for agricultural purposes with water for residential use. Officials said Wednesday during the final meeting on water management that they would solve water shortage problems through an integrated management plan. The same quality standard will be applied to both types of water. That will allow excess supplies of residential water to be used for farming purposes. Officials say this will also prevent the sprawling development of underground wells. Authorities plan to finalize the plan by the end of the year after listening to the opinions and concerns of area residents. "지하수 통합관리로 물 부족 해결" 제주특별자치도가 농업용수와 생활용수를 통합 관리합니다. 제주도는 14일 열린 수자원관리종합계획 최종 보고회에서 농업용수와 생활용수를 통합 관리해 반복되는 물 부족 문제를 해결하겠다고 밝혔습니다. 동일한 수질 기준을 적용해 통합관리하면 생활용수 여유분을 농업용수로 공급할 수 있게 돼 무분별한 지하수 관정 개발도 막을 수 있다고 강조했습니다. 제주도는 주민 의견을 수렴한 뒤 연말까지 수자원관리종합계획을 확정하기로 했습니다.

  • 3. Falling employment rate Unemployment rate up to 2.7% Jeju’s employment rate is not getting any better. The Jeju branch of the Honam Regional Statistics Office says the local employment rate was 68.3 percent last month. That’s 7 points higher than the national rate, but it’s 1.9 percent below where it stood a year earlier. Meanwhile, the local unemployment rate was up 0.9 percent over the same period to 2.7 percent.

  • Opposition to proposed changes to administrative structure
  • 2. Opposition to proposed changes to administrative structure ‘No different from current system if mayors not given legal status’ In related news, an association of local residents has announced its opposition to the governor’s plan to directly elect mayors and make other changes to the province’s administrative structure. It says the proposed changes would be no different from the current appointment system if the position of mayor was not considered a legal entity. The Jeju Green Party also came out against the proposal. It argues the province should revoke it and instead work with area residents, the provincial council, and civic groups to come up with an alternative.

  • Proposal to divide Jeju into 4 cities
  • 1. Proposal to divide Jeju into 4 cities Also under consideration: electing, not appointing, mayors The province of Jeju is currently split into two administrative cities, but a new proposal would boost that to four cities, the mayors of which would be elected, rather than appointed as they are now. The provincial government says the administrative reorganization committee has accepted a reorganization recommendation that was submitted in June 2017. Local officials will submit a related motion to revise the Jeju Special Law during next month’s extraordinary session. A motion to make specific changes to the island’s cities will be submitted later, because it could be accomplished by revising the original ordinance, assuming it passes. Governor Won Heeryong says he supports letting local voters decide these issues because they would have a major impact on area residents. "행정시 4개로 분할, 시장 직선제 추진" 현재 2개의 행정시를 4개로 나누고 행정시장을 직선제로 뽑는 방안이 추진됩니다. 제주도는 행정체제개편위원회가 지난해 6월 제출한 행정체제개편 권고안을 수용해 제주특별법 개정안에 따른 제도개선 동의안을 다음달 임시회에 제출하겠다고 밝혔습다. 행정시 권역조정은 조례로 개정할 수 있는 만큼 특별법 처리여부를 보면서 차후에 발의하기로 했습니다. 원희룡 도지사는 행정시장 직선제와 권역조정 모두 주민에게 중대한 영향을 미칠 수 있어 주민투표를 실시하는게 바람직하다는 의견을 제시하기도 했습니다.

  • Jeju: A to Z (Olle Trail System)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker gives us a quick overview of the island’s Olle walking trail system, which is designed to encourage people to slow down and enjoy Jeju’s natural beauty. Jeju’s network of Olle walking trails highlights the human-scale of Jeju’s beauty. It encourages both intrepid nature-lovers and tired urbanites to immerse themselves in the quiet natural surroundings of the island. These walking paths are setup to help trekkers slow down and “heal” their tired minds and bodies. [Slug CG] Jeju Olle modeled on Spain’s Camino de Santiago The Olle trail system is the brainchild of a journalist from Jeju named Suh Myung-sook. Upon retiring in 2006, she traveled to Europe and walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain. It was there that she got the idea for the Jeju Olle. In a book she wrote about this time, she said it was immediately obvious how a system of walking trails could be a healthy and eco-friendly way of seeing Jeju, as well as sustainably contributing to the local economy. [Slug CG] Volunteers built Trail 1 in 2007 Just a year after her initial plan, the first of the Jeju Olle trails began being built, mostly by volunteers, on the northeast coast. Now over 400 kilometers in length, it spans the entire island and Jeju’s outlying islands of Udo (trail 1-1) Gapado (trail 10-1) and Chujado (trail 18-1). [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Whether you’re an experienced outdoorsy type, or just someone who wants to hit the trail and see Jeju up close sometime in the near future, here’s a friendly reminder. Be sure to bring appropriate footwear, dress in layers to regulate your body temperature, and wear sunscreen on your outdoor Olle adventure. Todd Thacker KCTV

  • Winter vegetable cultivation concentrated in western Jeju
  • 3. Winter vegetable cultivation concentrated in western Jeju Growing worries over white radish overproduction Authorities say winter vegetable cultivation in Jeju is concentrated in western regions. The provincial government concluded through a survey that the vegetables are being grown on about 14,000 hectares. That’s 1.8 percent less land compared to last year. Researchers project that garlic, onion and chive production will fall, while farmers will grow more white radishes, cabbages, and beets, all of which are mainly cultivated in western Jeju. The area dedicated to the cultivation of white radishes is up 6.2 percent compared to last year to 51-hundred hectares, raising concerns about a glut in the supply of that vegetable. 월동채소 서부지역 쏠려…월동무 '과잉생산' 제주 월동채소는 서부지역을 중심으로 재배되고 있는 것으로 나타났습니다. 제주특별자치도가 주요 월동채소 재배면적을 조사한 결과 1만 4천헥타아르로 지난해 보다 1.8% 감소했습니다. 마늘과 양파, 쪽파 생산량은 줄 것으로 예상되는 가운데 월동무와 양배추, 비트는 증가할 것으로 조사됐으며 증가분이 서부지역에 집중된 것으로 분석됐습니다. 특히 월동무 재배면적은 5천 100헥타아르로 지난해보다 6.2% 증가해 과잉생산이 우려되고 있습니다.
