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.

  • Police refer 2 cases regarding governor to prosecution
  • 1. Police refer 2 cases regarding governor to prosecution Both involve alleged pre-electioneering The police have referred to the prosecution two cases involving Governor Won Heeryong. Both involve alleged pre-electioneering in the lead-up to last June’s local elections. Officers from the provincial police and Seogwipo Police Station looked into five separate allegations against the governor. The list included bribery and Election Law violations. Investigators dismissed accusations involving special memberships at the Biotopia Golf Course, saying they found no evidence that the governor or his wife had made use of a membership. Prosecutors will base their decision whether to indict the governor based on the data they receive from the police. 원 지사 사전선거운동 2건 기소의견 송치 경찰이 6.13 지방선거 과정에서 사전선거운동을 한 혐의로 원희룡 제주도지사에 대해 기소의견을 달아 사건을 검찰에 넘겼습니다. 제주지방경찰청과 서귀포경찰서는 뇌물수수와 선거법 위반 등의 혐의로 고발된 원희룡 지사에 대해 전체 5건의 혐의 가운데 사전선거운동 2건만 기소의견을 달아 검찰에 송치했습니다. 비오토피아 특별회원권과 관련해서는 원 지사와 부인이 회원권을 사용한 증거를 찾지 못해 혐의가 없는 것으로 봤습니다. 검찰은 경찰 자료를 바탕으로 이달안에 기소 여부를 결정할 방침입니다.

  • Successful Street Revitalization
  • Dozens of so-called “theme streets” have popped up over the past few years, but very few of them have stood the test of time. Here’s Mike Balfour with one success story. So-called "theme streets" have mushroomed on the island over the last 10 years. [slug] 8 theme streets fizzle out Out of more than twenty, eight theme streets have fizzled out. Contrary to the phenomenon, (전농로) Jeonnong-ro road in Jeju City is drawing people's attention. Instead of artificial structures, huge cherry blossom trees are the street’s main feature. Area residents use the street in creative ways. [slug] Flea market, children’s activities at community festivals At community festivals, area residents open a flea market and run participatory programs for children. The community itself, not the administration office, has organized festivals since 2017. This boosts the participation of area residents. [slug] Profits from community events donated to underprivileged A part of the profit made from community events goes to underprivileged neighbors. The community’s efforts have made a difference over the last three years. Everybody notices the changes. INTERVIEW Yoon Yong-pal / Chair, Samdo 1-dong Community Board Coffeehouses and shops have opened here on Jeonnong-ro Road. Many young people visit on weekends to enjoy the area, even outside the cherry blossom season. <인터뷰 : 윤용팔/삼도1동주민자치위원장> "이 전농로가 너무 아름답다고 해서 커피숍도 열고 장사하시는 분들이 많습니다. 특히 주말에는 젊은층들이 많이 찾습니다. 꽃이 피지 않아도 동네도 돌아보고 차도 마시고 여유를 즐기다 갑니다." [slug] Empty shops transformed into coffeehouses, craft art workshops Empty shops have been transformed into cozy coffeehouses and craft art workshops, creating a new commercial zone. Without a hefty price tag, the road has become a well-trodden, attractive street. Specialists say this road is an example of a good street revitalization project. [slug] ‘Community participation essential’ They says the administration offices should create circumstances in which a community would voluntarily maintain and manage their streets, instead of a big budget for street structures or facilities. INTERVIEW Kim Tae-il / Professor, Jeju National University For better maintenance, area residents and shop owners should be involved. If communities cannot be a part of the revitalization project, it will end up falling into neglect, with no budget from the government and no upkeep. <인터뷰 :김태일/제주대학교 건축학부 교수> "아무래도 유지 관리가 되기 위해서는 지역 주민과의 관련성이 있어야 하고 또 상권 주민들과도 관련성이 크거든요. 이런 분들이 처음부터 사업을 시작할 때 관여하지 못하는 제한점 때문에 자기 일이 아니라는 생각들, 그리고 예산이 끊기면 유지하는데 어려움이 많은데…. " [Reporter] Mike Balfour [Camera] Kim Yong-min (전농로) Jeonnong-ro Road, utilizing it’s natural attributes, along with community residents’ participation is a fine example of neighborhood revitalization.

  • Chagwido named November’s ‘Uninhabited Island of the Month’
  • 5. Chagwido named November’s ‘Uninhabited Island of the Month’ Small island west of Jeju known for its unique landscape The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries has selected (차귀도) Chagwido Island in (한경면) Hangyeong-myeon, Jeju City, as November’s ‘uninhabited island of the month.” The island is small, at only 0.16 square kilometers, and it’s the westernmost point of Jeju Province. It is known for its spectacular landscape of seashore cliffs and unique rock formations. Seoul named it Natural Monument Number 422 in 2000, and its entirety is also a national geopark. As a designated natural reserve, entry to the island was prohibited until 2011, when it was opened to the public. 해수부, 11월 무인도서 '차귀도' 선정 해양수산부가 11월의 무인도서로 제주시 한경면 차귀도를 선정해 발표했습니다. 제주에서 가장 서쪽에 위치한 차귀도는 0.16㎢ 면적의 작은 섬으로 해안절벽과 기암괴석이 어우러져 절경을 이루고 있습니다. 특히 2000년부터 국가지정 천연기념물 제422호로 섬 전체가 국가지질공원이라고 소개했습니다. 차귀도는 그동안 천연보호구역으로 출입이 금지됐다가 2011년부터 일반에 개방됐습니다.

  • ‘JQ mark’ verifies product origins
  • 4. ‘JQ mark’ verifies product origins Export process streamlined for local items Products with the JQ mark, which certifies them as being of high quality and from Jeju, no longer need to undergo additional origin verification processes for free trade agreements. The Korea Customs Service and the provincial government agreed to a quote “FTA easy verification system” unquote. The customs service will accept JQ marked-products as-is, without the need of further documentation proving their origin. Provincial representatives say this will help promote Jeju-branded products and streamline the export process. JQ 인증으로 원산지 인정…수출 절차 간소화 제주 우수제품 품질인증, 이른바 JQ 인증을 받은 제품은 별도의 추가 절차 없이 FTA 원산지 증명이 가능하게 됐습니다. 제주도는 이같은 내용을 골자로 한 'FTA 간편인정제'를 도입하기로 관세청과 협의했습니다. 이에 따라 JQ 인증 제품은 FTA 관세특례가 적용돼 원산지 증명서류 제출 없이도 관세청으로부터 원산지 인정을 받을 수 있게 됐습니다. 제주도는 수출 절차 간소화와 제주 브랜드 홍보효과도 높아질 것으로 기대했습니다.

The gross sales index at large retailers in Jeju was 108.4 in September. That’s 0.2 percent lower than a year before, but its 4.4 percent higher than the month before.
