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.

  • International arrivals down 60%
  • International arrivals down 60% Overall tourist tally falls 6.7% Far fewer non-Koreans are visiting the island this year. The province puts the international arrivals count at 970,000 ? a full 60 percent less than last year. Chinese account for the vast majority of foreign travelers to Jeju. Their numbers have plummeted in response to Seoul’s decision to deploy the THAAD anti-missile system, which Beijing opposes. Over two million Chinese had come to the island by this point last year. This year? Just over 620,000. Domestic arrivals are up nine percent this year, but that hasn’t been enough to make up for the drop in international tourists. The overall tourist tally is off 6.7 percent ? from 10.6 million last year to 9.9 million this year. 외국인 관광객 작년 대비 60% 줄어 제주를 찾는 외국인 관광객이 크게 줄었습니다. 제주특별자치도에 따르면 올들어 지금까지 제주를 찾은 외국인 관광객은 97만여 명으로 지난해 214만여 명에 비해 60% 감소했습니다. 특히 사드여파로 중국인 관광객이 지난해 215만여 명에서 올해 62만 여 명으로 150만 명이나 줄었습니다. 내국인 관광객은 전년 대비 9% 증가했지만 외국인 관광객 급감으로 전체 관광객수는 지난해 1천 60만 명에서 올해 990만 명으로 6.7% 감소했습니다.

  • Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. [Report] Here we are with the rare week when there are three big new movies opening in South Korea. I try and provide as varied a sampling of movies as I can, and to that end The Hitman’s Bodyguard gets the cut. An action comedy with Samuel L. Jackson, and Ryan Reynolds, it works because of them, although it can’t break out of the dreaded cliche zone. Done. We’re going to look more closely at Atomic Blonde and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - two movies that both offer something a little special and will get your filmic taste buds working overtime. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Atomic Blonde (2017, David Leitch) An undercover MI6 agent is sent to Berlin during the Cold War. Berlin - on the eve of the Wall's collapse and the shifting of superpower alliances. Charlize Theron is a top-level spy for MI6 who is dispatched to Berlin to take down a ruthless espionage ring that has just killed an undercover agent for reasons unknown. She is ordered to cooperate with a Berlin station chief, and the two form an uneasy alliance, unleashing their full arsenal of skills in pursuing a threat that jeopardizes the West's entire intelligence operation. Charlize Theron easily holds her own in what is almost the first female-centric spy thriller, and the action set pieces are top-notch and fresh. Despite these, though, the plot is a little flimsy and seems a little ‘light’ on the whole. Some think the movie overplays its stylistic cards to the bitter end and just doesn't have enough mortar up its sleeve to hold the whole house together. One thing that is certain, however, is that Atomic Blonde is worth the effort to find these answers for yourself. [Slug CG] Valerian and the CIty of a Thousand Planets (2017, Luc Besson) Two special ops race to safeguard the vast city Alpha. Valerian is visually spectacular - there’s really no debating that. From Luc Besson, director of The Fifth Element and Lucy, and based on a comic book series, it would be hard to come up with anything else. In the 28th century, Valerian and Laureline are a team of special operatives charged with maintaining order throughout the human territories. Under assignment, the two embark on a mission to the astonishing city of Alpha - an ever-expanding metropolis where species from all over the universe have converged over centuries to share knowledge, intelligence, and cultures. But there is a mystery at the center of Alpha - a dark force which threatens the peaceful existence of the City of a Thousand Planets, and Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe. It sounds like the perfect sci-fi epic, but that would only be if you disregard the story. Instead, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets uses its sheer kinetic energy and visual thrills to overcome its narrative obstacles and offer a viewing experience whose surreal pleasures often outweigh its flaws.
