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.

During a Tuesday meeting, the Public Administration and Security Committee’s bill screening subcommittee discussed the scale of victim compensation with representatives from the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Attendees decided to come up with an alternative plan before their next meeting.

  • Ambitious JTO
  • The Jeju Tourism Organization turns ten this year. The JTO has released its plans for the next decade-plus, and they include more duty free shops and the creation of 1,000 new jobs. Mike Laidman reports. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the foundation of the Jeju Tourism Organization. [slug] JTO releases ‘Vision 2030’ As such, the office has released both its mid- and long-term strategies, called "Vision 2030," after consultation with experts. The strategy lists three objectives. [slug] Goal 1: Increase contribution of tourism revenue 51% → 58.5% First, the JTO is planning to increase its contribution level of tourism revenue to the island from 51 percent to 58.5 percent. That number is now at 87 percent of the contribution level given in other developed countries. [slug] Goal 2: \500b in sales by 2030, 1,000 new jobs Second, it is aiming to achieve 500 billion won in sales and create 1,000 new jobs, which will help to spread its earnings back into the community. [slug] Goal 3: Raise happiness index to 75% Lastly, it will make efforts to increase the happiness index, one of the qualitative indicators of the tourism sector, to 75 percent - the same level as some other wealthy nations. Recording Park Hong-bai / CEO, Jeju Tourism Organization My office will make every effort to achieve these goals by making changes both within and outside the JTO. <녹취: 박홍배 제주관광공사 사장> "앞으로 우리 공사는 목표 달성을 위해 조직 내외적으로 변화와 성과를 만들어나가는데 최선의 노력을 다하겠습니다" [slug] 1,000 new jobs will come with duty free expansion However, there is a precondition for the creation of so many new jobs. Namely, the JTO must look towards the expansion of its duty free shops, which are its only revenue-making venture. [slug] Relocation of JTO duty-free shops being planned The organization is giving shape to its plan of relocating its duty free shop at the Jeju International Convention Center to a location near the Jeju International Airport. [slug] Additional duty-free shops at ports, airport being readied Additional duty free shops at local ports and airport departure areas are also being readied. [slug] Shops at new airport, airport arrival area under consideration New shops at the island's second airport and current airport arrival areas are under consideration, as Seoul is now reviewing plans to introduce duty free businesses in such areas. Recording Park Hong-bai / CEO, Jeju Tourism Organization About 350 employees work for a duty free shop. If we open 3 additional shops, we would create more than 1,000 jobs. <녹취:박홍배 제주관광공사 사장> "나머지 350명의 브랜드 직원이 있습니다. 그래서 최소한 3군데(면세점)만 확보된다 하더라도..." [Reporter] Mike Laidman [Camera] Park Byeong-joon However, if its duty free business cannot be expanded as planned, the rosy future the JTO has painted may not make it much further at all.
