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.

  • ‘No need for compensation’
  • 1. ‘No need for compensation’ National audit board rules on outdoor pool at Gwakji Gwamul Beach The Board of Audit and Inspection of Korea has ruled that local government officials do not need to pay compensation regarding problems related to the restoration of an outdoor saltwater pool at Gwakji Gwamul Beach. The problems came to light in 2016. In explaining its determination that the officials in charge committed no serious faults, the audit board concluded that the rules governing the types of facilities allowed in Level 1 Landscape Preservation Districts are vague. It also pointed out that the (곽지리) Gwakji-ri Development Committee selected the location for the pool. The provincial commission of audit and inspection came to a different conclusion in August 2016. It ruled that local officials had not followed proper administrative procedures when the pool was restored, so it ordered the local government to pay 448 million won in compensation. The local commission says it respects the differing conclusion of the national board. 감사원, "곽지과물 공무원 변상책임 없어" 감사원이 지난 2016년 곽지과물 해변 야외해수풀장 원상복구와 관련해 공무원 변상책임이 없다고 결론 내렸습니다. 감사원은 경관보전지구 1등급 지역에 허용되는 시설 범위가 모호하고 해수풀장 위치 역시 곽지리 개발위원회에서 결정한 점을 고려할 때 담당 공무원들에게 책임을 물을 정도의 중대한 과실은 없다고 밝혔습니다. 한편 제주도감사위원회는 지난 2016년 8월, 곽지과물 해변 야외해수풀장 원상복구 과정에서 행정절차를 제대로 이행하지 않은 공무원들에게 4억 4천 8백만 원의 변상명령을 요구했습니다. 감사위원회는 변상명령에 대한 최종 판단은 감사원에서 결정하는 만큼 이번 판단을 존중한다고 밝혔습니다.

  • Final Days of Feasibility Study
  • A second site feasibility study for the island’s second airport will be done by the end of the month. The results are expected early next year. Mike Balfour reports. Seoul has been redoing the feasibility study on the island’s second airport since July. [slug] 2nd feasibility study began in July The new 3-month-long study was aimed at meeting local residents’ demands for transparency in the process of site selection. [slug] Residents seek extension of study period A review panel was organized in September to monitor the feasibility study. Meanwhile, area residents in the selected site for the new airport asked for an extension period to December to conduct the study. Despite the demand, the feasibility study will end this month. [slug] Review panel agrees to end study in November The review panel conditionally agreed to close the second investigation. Recording Gang Yeong-jin / Chair, 2nd Feasibility Study Review Panel First, investigators should attend the review panel meeting and answer questions. Second, further investigations are necessary when the panel requires additional material. <씽크:강영진/검토위원회 위원장> "첫째, 검토위 진행 기간에는 재조사 연구진이 참석해서 답변하도록 한다. 둘째, 검토위에서 추가조사를 요구할 때에는 보완조사 등 작업을 시행한다." [slug] Panel investigating evaluations of candidate sites The Second Feasibility Study Review Panel is going to look into reasons why alternatives to building the second airport were excluded, evaluation criteria for selecting a site, and assessment results of 31 candidate sites. Recording Park Chan-shik / Vice chair, 2nd Feasibility Study Review Panel Other options on expanding airport facilities were excluded at the governor’s request. We believe this is inappropriate, so the first feasibility study was unbalanced. <씽크:박찬식/검토위원회 부위원장> "신공항을 도지사가 공문 한장으로 도지사 요청으로 제대로 된 평가를 안하고 빼버렸는데 그것이 타당하냐 정치적으로 도지사가 공문 한장으로 빼버려서 균형있는 평가가 안되는게 타당하냐는 문제가 있었고요." In the meantime, the panel will look into the grounds for the estimate of 45 million passengers for the second airport. It will also probe into reasons why the ground survey in (성산) Seongsan was replaced with an alternative investigation. [Reporter] Mike Balfour [Camera] Kim Seung-cheol The panel has announced it will release the results of the second feasibility study and its recommendations in February next year. Mike Balfour, KCTV

  • A to Z (Sangumburi Pampas Grass)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker profiles a popular destination southeast of Jeju City called Sangumburi. As we’ll see now, this extinct volcanic crater covered in fields of light brown pampas grass is emblematic of autumn on the island. The remarkably symmetrical crater of Sangumburi, an extinct volcano to the southeast of Jeju City, is a stunning ? and unique ? destination in more ways than one. [Slug CG] 600 m crater resembles Hallasan Mountain’s Baengnokdam Described as a kind of “natural stadium,” it is 600-meters in diameter and similar in size to Baengnokdam crater atop Hallasan Mountain. Around it are sweeping, light-brown fields of pampas grass, which grow several meters tall and are emblematic of the autumn and winter seasons on the island. [Slug CG] Pampas grass appears in Jeju-related films, TV, art, photography Images of this grass appear in all sorts of artistic works related to Jeju, from films, TV dramas, and paintings by famous artists, like Jeju-born painter Byun Shi-ji, and nature photographer Kim Young-gap’s panoramic long-exposures. [Slug CG] Carefully monitored habitat for 400 plant and animal species The crater and area is also a windfall for scientific research. Its densely packed habitat is home to about 400 species of plants and animals. And though tourism and the environment usually are at odds, Sangumburi is carefully monitored. The hundreds of thousands of people who visit every year thus have a minimal impact on the site, while maximizing their appreciation for this Natural Monument. [Slug CG] Breathtaking vistas from crater rim From atop the crater on a clear day, you can enjoy views of the ocean to the north, Seongsan Sunrise Peak to the east, and of course the breathtaking profile of Hallasan Mountain to the west ? all framed with the swaying pampas fields. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Sangumburi isn’t the only place on the island to capture iconic images of Korea’s autumn pampas grass, but it might just be the most picturesque. Todd Thacker KCTV
