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.

  • Yerae Project Faces Strong Headwinds
  • Construction on the (예래) Yerae Resort Complex stalled years ago, and it seems unlikely to resume now that a court has revoked the building permit. The developer, Berjaya Jeju, is suing the Jeju Free International City Development Center, and civic groups say the whole project, not just the construction permit, should be canceled. Joseph Kim reports. Report [slug] Yerae Resort Complex construction site This is the (예래) Yerae Resort Complex construction site, where work has been suspended for the past two years. [slug] Construction suspended 2 years ago The first phase of the project, only 65 percent complete, is building condominiums and commercial areas. The construction work stopped in 2015, following a Supreme Court ruling invalidating the Jeju Free International City Development Center's land expropriation. On the weed covered land, unfinished buildings sit, empty and forlorn. The construction seems unlikely to resume as last week, the court canceled the construction permit issued by the province. [slug] Developer must now begin paperwork again to resume work The cancellation means that the developer should start the administrative procedure all over again from the beginning to resume construction. The JDC hopes that the project will get back on track, but Berjaya Jeju is pressing forward with lawsuits against the JDC. [slug] Berjaya seeking \350b in compensation from JDC Berjaya Jeju is likely seeking 350 billion won for compensation based on the recent court ruling. Enemies are on every side. JDC should deal with the compensation suit filed by landowners and the legal battle with the Malaysian conglomerate. Recording JDC representative The developer has deferred a decision on whether to press forward with the suit or resume construction since last November. We expect Berjaya will choose a legal battle after the court ruling. <씽크:제주국제자유도시개발센터 관계자> "작년 11월 이후 행정소송이 진행 중이었기 때문에 (사업자가) 그 결과를 보고 진행할 의중인 것 같습니다. 그동안 별 진행이 없었는데 이번 판결로 진행되지 않겠나.." On the heels of the court ruling, landowners who didn’t make objections to the JDC’s land expropriation in 2006 seem to join the compensation lawsuit already filed by other landowners. Civic groups insist that the development project should be re-examined from the beginning. They urge the province and the JDC to nullify the project itself immediately. [slug] ‘Project should be canceled’ They also claim that last year’s newly added ordinance on commercial recreation areas that clears way for construction work to resume should be deleted. INTERVIEW Kim Jeong-do / Jeju Federation of Environmental Movements The province and the JDC should cancel the project because the construction permit has been revoked. It’s time to reconsider the project from the beginning. <인터뷰:김정도/제주환경운동연합 정책팀장> "모두 무효라는 판결이 나왔기 때문에 즉각 제주도와 JDC가 받아들여서 행정 무효를 선언하고 (사업) 재검토나 원점에서 어떻게 할 지 고민할 때가 아닌가 판단됩니다." The Yerae Resort Complex development project resurfaced as the court canceled the construction permission. [Reporter] Joseph Kim [Camera] Hyeon Gwang-hoon The province’s ambitious project is facing headwinds from the developer, landowners and civic groups. Joseph Kim, KCTV

  • JTO mulling relocation of Lotte Hotel duty-free shop
  • JTO mulling relocation of Lotte Hotel duty-free shop Move to Jeju Shinhwa World under consideration The Jeju Tourism Organization is looking into relocating its duty-free shop in the Jungmun Lotte Hotel to Jeju Shinhwa World. Landing International, the corporation that runs Shinhwa World, requested the move. The JTO reviewed the proposal and the two are now negotiating the details. When and if those are worked out, the JTO will apply with the Korea Customs Service to relocate the shop. Landing would pay for the new facilities. And the rent it charges the JTO would be tied to duty-free sales. The shop would also be much bigger - two-and-a-half times the size of the current facility at the Lotte Hotel. 제주관광공사 시내면세점 신화월드 이전 추진 제주관광공사가 중문관광단지 롯데호텔에서 운영중인 시내면세점을 제주신화월드로 이전을 추진합니다. 제주관광공사는 신화월드 람정제주개발의 요청에 따라 면세점 이전에 대한 세부적인 검토를 마치고 막바지 협상을 진행하고 있다고 밝혔습니다. 협상이 마무리되면 이달 중으로 관세청에 이전을 신청할 예정입니다. 람정은 면세점 이전에 따른 시설비를 부담하고 임대료도 고정요금이 아닌 매출을 기준으로 한 정률제를 적용하기로 한 것으로 알려졌습니다. 신화월드의 면세점 면적은 1만 여㎡로 현재 롯데호텔 내에 비해 2.5배 가량 넓어집니다.

  • Jeju: A to Z (Songaksan)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker profiles a Jeju site that locals know well, but perhaps is underappreciated by visitors. Songaksan Mountain, which is along Jeju Olle walking trail No. 10, is rich in sights, sounds, and scenery. [Report] Some of Jeju Island’s geological features are pretty dramatic and hard to miss. Others are just as important, but take a bit more time and effort to discover and appreciate. [Slug CG] Sangmo-ri, Daejeong-eup One such formation is Songaksan Mountain, a parasitic volcanic cone in Sangmo-ri, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo. This volcanic formation actually has a double crater ? one 500 meters and the other 400 meters in diameter. It might be dwarfed by the nearby towering features of Sanbangsan, but this mountain, too, has a number of distinctive features, including 99 peaks. [Slug CG] 90-minute round trip hike Visitors to Songaksan will be pleasantly surprised by the lovely panoramas. The hike to and from the location takes about 90 minutes, along which you’ll be accompanied by a number of offshore islands, like Marado and Gapado. There are also a good set of facilities, such as conveniently located coffee shops, restaurants, and ample parking for cars and buses. Korea’s recent history, of course, has touched the site. There are remnants of the Japanese occupation ? in particular a World War 2 aircraft hangar and runway. [Slug CG] Jeju Olle course 10 passes through Songaksan The walk is along Jeju Olle trail No. 10, which starts at Hwasun Golden Sand Beach and ends at Moseulpo Harbor. This is a particularly rich hike in terms of scenery and history. It’s an excellent picnic area as well. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Songaksan might not have the up-front attractions of say Hallasan Mountain or Seongsan Sunrise Peak, but people in the know treasure this hidden gem. Todd Thacker KCTV
