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.

Report The Biosphere Reserve, World Natural Heritage, Global Geopark and Ramsar Wetlands. These are the certifications that Jeju has won.

  • All central bus lanes now in use
  • All central bus lanes now in use Relatively few problems Local traffic remained relatively smooth November 10th, when all of the island’s first central bus-only lanes were put into use. 2.7 kilometers of the lanes are now open between Gwangyang Intersection and Ara Elementary School. Buses and taxis traveled the lanes relatively problem-free around the morning rush hour. Construction had been causing some traffic jams along the road, but those problems were also resolved to some degree. There were some issues. Some bus passengers were confused about which stop to use. And there was some traffic congestion at the end of the central bus lanes, where buses tried to change lanes quickly. 대중교통 중앙차로 전면 개통…대체로 원활 대중교통 중앙우선차로가 오늘(10일)부터 전면 개통된 가운데 대체로 원활한 교통 흐름을 보였습니다. 제주도는 오늘부터 제주시 광양사거리에서 아라초등학교 사거리까지 2.7km 구간에서 대중교통 중앙차로제 시행에 들어갔습니다. 등굣길과 출근시간대에 버스와 택시 등은 대중교통 차로를 이용해 원활하게 운행했고, 종전 공사 등으로 지연되던 교통 체증도 어느정도 해소됐습니다. 다만 일부 버스 이용객들이 새로 조성된 정류장과 기존 정류장 사이에서 혼란을 빚었고 중앙차로 종료 지점에서 버스가 급하게 차선을 바꾸며 교통흐름이 다소 정체되기도 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] A bit of a slower week, this one. Thor will likely repeat at number one, and so the other movies releasing in Korea this weekend are a little smaller, or else catering to entirely different audiences. We’ll take a look at two of the latter. Happy Death Day is a thriller, and The Only Living Boy in New York is exactly what it sounds like - a drama tracing the life of a guy in New York. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Happy Death Day (2017, Christopher Landon) A student must relive the day of her murder over and over. Are you ready for some weird time travel? I hope so! But don’t get your hopes up too much, because this is likely the worst way to be traveling back in time. To do it, you’ve got to die. And you can’t move on until you’ve figured out who killed you. The premise of Happy Death Day is simple: a college student relives the day of her murder with both its unexceptional details and terrifying end until she discovers her killer's identity. It’s a fairly fresh take on slasher conventions, with its dark humour and sci-fi conventions. It moves along well, and manages to effectively poke fun at the genres from which it borrows, all the while crafting a suitable story and providing some good jump scares. [Slug CG] The Only Living Boy in New York (2017, Marc Webb) A college grad's life is upended by his father's mistress. Thomas Webb, the son of a publisher and his artistic wife, has just graduated from college and is trying to find his place in the world. Moving from his parents' Upper West Side apartment to the Lower East Side, he befriends his neighbor W.F., a shambling alcoholic writer who dispenses worldly wisdom alongside healthy shots of whiskey. Thomas' world begins to shift when he discovers that his long-married father is having an affair with a seductive younger woman. Determined to break up the relationship, Thomas ends up sleeping with his father's mistress, launching a chain of events that will change everything he thinks he knows about himself and his family. Pierce Brosnan puts in an admirable performance, but the story is pretty contrived and doesn’t really move anywhere interesting. There’s not enough on tap here to garner a solid recommendation, and so, if you can handle it, Happy Death Day is probably the better choice this weekend.

  • Spike in number of pigs, chickens being raised in Jeju
  • Spike in number of pigs, chickens being raised in Jeju 95% more pigs compared to 20 years ago Jeju farmers are raising vastly more pigs and chickens than they were two decades ago. The Honam Regional Statistics Office says that, based on a recent study, it determined that the island is home to 572,000 pigs ? 95 percent more than 20 years ago. Due to rising demand and prices, the number of chickens increased 46 percent over the same period. Farmers are raising 16 percent fewer cattle, though. Analysts say that’s because beef imports are easier to get here. 제주 돼지·닭 사육두수 대폭 증가 지난 20년 동안 제주지역의 돼지와 닭 사육두수가 대폭 증가했습니다. 호남지방통계청이 도내 가축사육두수를 조사한 결과 돼지는 57만 2천 마리로 20년 전보다 95% 증가했습니다. 닭 역시 소비 증가와 산지가격 상승 등으로 사육두수가 46% 늘었습니다. 반면 도내 한·육우 사육두수는 수입자유화 영향으로 지난 20년 사이 16% 감소했습니다.
