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.

  • ‘Chaos’ as central bus lanes open
  • ‘Chaos’ as central bus lanes open Collisions between buses, cars on first day of new system Local authorities began testing central bus lanes October 20th, and the new system caused a number of problems. The lanes next to the median strip on the 1.4-kilometer stretch between Ara Elementary School and Jeju Fire Station in Ido-2-dong are reserved for buses. Not everyone was aware of or followed the new rules, and that led to collisions between cars and buses. Central bus lanes will start being used on another 1.3-kilometer stretch of road, from the fire station to Gwangyang Intersection, next month. 대중교통 중앙차로제 시범 운영…곳곳 '혼란' 오늘(20일)부터 대중교통 중앙차로제가 시범 운영에 들어간 가운데 곳곳에서 혼란이 잇따랐습니다. 제주도는 오늘(20일) 새벽 0시를 기해 제주시 아라초등학교 사거리에서 이도2동 제주소방서 사거리까지 1.4km 구간에 버스 중앙차로제를 시범운영에 들어갔습니다. 하지만 일부 버스들이 일반 승용차와 뒤엉키며 접촉사고가 발생하는 등 혼란이 잇따랐습니다. 제주도는 제주소방서 사거리에서 광양 사거리까지 1.3km 구간은 다음달 안에 개통할 계획입니다.

  • Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. [Report] As luck would have it, a deluge of new movies this weekend, and not enough time to cover them all. First, I Am Heath Ledger, a biography/documentary about the late actor, as well as Geostorm, which looks like The Day After Tomorrow on steroids. But today, we take a closer look at It Comes at Night and Mother, two films to get you in the mood for Halloween. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] It Comes at Night (2017, Trey Edward Shults) Inside a desolate home as a threat terrorizes the world. Imagine the end of the world. Now imagine something worse. It Comes at Night is a horror film following a man as he learns that the evil stalking his family home may be only a prelude to horrors that come from within. Secure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, the tenuous domestic order he has established with his wife and son is put to the ultimate test with the arrival of a desperate young family seeking refuge. Despite the best intentions of both families, paranoia and mistrust boil over as the horrors outside creep ever-closer, awakening something hidden and monstrous within him as he learns that the protection of his family comes at the cost of his soul. This looks at first like your typical post-apocalyptic story, although one centred firmly on human torment and conflict. This isn’t a thriller with zombies scratching and clawing their way in - the drama and conflict arises from the nuances of family dynamics and strangers getting to know each other under extreme circumstances. Anchored by a minimalist performance by Joel Edgerton, It Comes at Night should be on your shortlist in you’re looking for a creepy way to spend your weekend. [Slug CG] Mother (2017, Darren Aronofsky) A couple’s relationship is tested as uninvited guests arrive. And now, to Mother. A couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence. From Darren Aronofsky, this is a psychological thriller about love, devotion, and sacrifice. Mother has quite a divided audience, which really isn’t that uncommon for an Aronofsky film. He has divided audiences in the past, and he’s here to do it again. At times horrifying, at times riveting, at times baffling, and at times like nothing you've ever seen before, Mother is a film that will not leave anyone indifferent, whether it leaves a good or bad impression. It’s thought-provoking and ambitious, although at times too unwieldy for a mainstream audience. But don’t necessarily take this as a negative. It is, after all, one of the most marvelous elements of cinema.

  • Province pockets ₩1.09t in local taxes in first 9 months of 2017
  • Province pockets \1.09t in local taxes in first 9 months of 2017 \32b more than last year The provincial government collected 1.09 trillion won in local taxes through the the end of the third quarter this year. That’s 32 billion won, or 3.1 percent, more that during the same period last year. The province has collected 85 percent of what it is owed. Analysts say the increase is due to a boost in the amount of acquisition tax that was collected. The local government earned 33 billion won more than last year because of residential and facility construction. Local officials say that even though the number of real estate transactions is declining, the number of taxpayers who owe the government more than 100 million won is on the increase. 올해 지방세 징수액 1조 900억원…3.1%↑ 제주특별자치도가 올 3분기까지 걷어들인 지방세가 1조 900억원에 이르고 있습니다. 이같은 징수액은지난해 같은기간에 비해 3.1%, 320억원이 늘어난 것이며, 징수율은 85%입니다. 특히 각종 주택과 건물의 잇따른 준공으로 취득세가 4천 200억원에 이르러 지난해에 비해 330억원 늘어났습니다. 제주도는 전반적인 부동산 거래 감소에도 1억원 이상의 고액납세자가 크게 늘면서 전반적인 지방세가 늘어난 것으로 분석하고 있습니다.

  • New Roads to Ease Congestion
  • Traffic congestion in Jeju City by times rivals that of much larger cities. Local authorities are speeding up construction of new roads in the hopes of easing the problem. Joseph Kim reports. Report [slug] Yeon-dong, Jeju City This is (일주도로) Iljudo-ro, the road that links the eastern and western parts of Jeju City. It’s not uncommon for it to be busy, with cars backed up for hundreds of metres. Especially on days when the five-day market is on, the road is clogged with traffic. [slug] Roads near airport clogged with traffic And during the tourism high season, the traffic only gets worse. [slug] Bypass construction underway The provincial administration greenlighted the construction of a bypass near the airport last year. It began construction in May this year and the work is speeding up. The six-lane bypass starts at (다호) Daho Village near the airport and passes the Jeju City Traditional Five-Day Market before connecting with the (일주) Ilju Road. The new road will be 2.2 kilometers long. Two overpasses are planned near the airport and the five-day market to ease traffic flow.
