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.

  • ‘Not as cold, not as white’
  • ‘Not as cold, not as white’ Forecasters predict less severe winter this year Forecaster say this winter will be less severe than last winter. The Jeju Regional Meteorological Administration forecasts average temperatures in December, but higher than normal mercury in January and February. They say cold spells are possible due to continental high pressure systems. They don’t, however, project lengthy spells of unseasonably cold weather or a lot of snow, like we got in January this year. 12 centimeters of snow fell in Jeju on January 23rd this year - the third highest daily snowfall on record. Around the same time, authorities also issued their first cold wave watch for the island in seven years. "올 겨울 폭설·한파 가능성 적어" 올 겨울 제주는 지난해와 같은 폭설과 한파가 찾아올 가능성이 적은 것으로 전망됐습니다. 제주지방기상청은 다음달 제주의 기온은 평년과 비슷하겠고 1월과 2월에는 평년보다 다소 높을 것으로 전망했습니다. 특히 찬 대륙고기압이 확장하면서 기온이 큰 폭으로 떨어질 때가 있겠지만 지난해 1월과 같은 폭설 대란과 한파가 찾아올 가능성은 적다고 예측했습니다. 지난해 1월 23일 제주에는 최대 12cm의 눈이 쌓여 적설량 3위 기록을 경신했고 7년 만에 한파주의보가 발효되기도 했습니다.

  • Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. [Report] There’s no denying it - it’s getting colder and colder outside. Enough that we can probably finally say that winter is here. There will be no more warm days until the spring. So head to the theatre to stay warm - whether that means taking advantage of the inside heating, the warmth of someone else, or the blood-pressure raising hits that light up the screen. This week, Kidnap, with Halle Berry, goes up against Loving Vincent, which is, to not put too fine a point on it, one of the most visually interesting films to come out in years. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Kidnap (2017, Luis Prieto) A mother stops at nothing to recover her kidnapped son. A typical afternoon in the park turns into a nightmare for single mom Karla Dyson when her son suddenly disappears. Without a cell phone and knowing she has no time to wait for police help, Karla jumps in her own car and sets off in pursuit of the kidnappers. A relentless, edge-of-your seat chase ensues, where Karla must risk everything to not lose sight of her son. So, Halle Berry is a very talented actress, and she deserves more than the pulpy premise she gets here. A quick look at the trailer is enough for anyone to realise what’s going on here: A woman’s son is kidnapped, and rather than sit around and wait for the police, she’s going to take matters into her own hands and do things that only a movie mother can do. And that’s exactly what happens. If you’re looking for pure Taken-style action, then this will satisfy, but it’s sure not going to make you rediscover the action genre. [Slug CG] Loving Vincent (2017, Dorota Kobiela, Hugh Welchman) An oil-painting animation exploring van Gogh’s final days. A year after the death of the artist Vincent van Gogh, a postman tasks his son, Armand, with hand-delivering the artist's final letter to his late brother to a worthy recipient. Dr. Gachet, a close companion of van Gogh’s, is chosen, and upon traveling to his village, Armand meets the townspeople - many of whom not only knew Vincent, but were also models and the inspiration for his art. Armand becomes increasingly fascinated in the fate of Van Gogh, and comes to realize that Vincent's troubled life was linked to his paintings in a way that might only be appreciated in the future. The voice actors are top-notch, but it’s truly the animation that is something to behold. Each frame is an individual oil painting, which leads to many scenes roiling about, reflecting the tumult of the life of the man which they represent. The story itself, however, isn’t as even or consistent as it could be, and so the real reason to see Loving Vincent is for the extraordinary animation.
