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.

  • Seongpanak Rest Area to be torn down Owner loses lawsuit against Jeju City Seongpanak Rest Area, which has stood on the slopes of Hallasan Mountain for nearly 40 years, will be torn down. Jeju City recently won a lawsuit against the rest area’s owner, only identified by his last name Kang. That suit had dragged on for four years. Mr. Kang established the business in 1978. Jeju City has wanted to tear it down and create more parking for Hallasan National Park. Mr. Kang filed suit against that decision, but has now lost the case. 한라산 성판악휴게소 40년만에 철거 한라산 성판악휴게소가 40년 만에 철거됩니다. 제주시는 최근 성판악휴게소 운영자 강모씨를 상대로 한 토지인도 소송에서 승소함에 따라 지난 2013년부터 시작된 4년간의 소송이 마무리될 것으로 전망했습니다. 이에 따라 조만간 성판악휴게소 철거작업에 들어간다는 계획입니다. 제주시는 한라산국립공원내 주차시설을 확충하기 우해 지난 1978년부터 운영되던 성판악휴게소 철거 계획을 세웠지만 휴게소 운영자가 이에 불복해 소송을 제기했습니다.

  • Massive Casino Planned for Dream Tower
  • The Dream Tower developer is planning on opening a massive casino in the twin buildings when they open in a couple of years. Joseph Kim reports. Report [slug] Nohyeong-dong, Jeju City Construction is now underway on the Dream Tower that will dominate the Jeju skyline and is expected to be completed by 2019. The twin 38-story buildings will house a casino, restaurants, hotels and shops. [slug] Dream Tower construction scheduled for completion in 2019 Lotte Tour Development, one of the developers of the Dream Tower, is gearing up for a casino business. [slug] Lotte Tour Development issues \40b in bonds for casino Lotte has issued 40 billion won of convertible bonds for a casino business fund. As new casino business licenses are not likely to be approved anymore in Jeju, the developer has planned to buy an already existing license and relocate a casino business into the twin buildings. Recording Lotte Tour Development representative The only way to open a casino is to buy an existing one like the Jeju Myths and History Theme Park did. We need funds for the acquisition and operation, so we decided to seek investors. <싱크 : 롯데관광개발 관계자> "지금 할 수 있는 방법은 기존 카지노 인수를 해서 신화역사공원처럼 만반의 준비를 하고 있어야 되니까요. 인수할 때 들어가는 돈, 그리고 운영자금이 필요하거든요. 겸사겸사해서 투자를 받은 겁니다." The Jeju Myths and History theme Park’s acquisition of the casino in the Hyatt Regency Hotel became a good model for the developer. Casino businesses on the island are expected to flourish. Currently, there is no system that forces a local casino operator to return portions of its profit to the local community. In this situation, if the province permits relocation of a casino business without considering the implications, the local community will only have the harmful side-effects of the gaming industry left in its wake. INTERVIEW Kim Tae-seok / Provincial council member In the absence of a legal way to control the casino industry, the local community has nothing to gain if the province permits casino relocation. The province should amend or enact laws that enable profits from the industry to be reinvested in the community. <인터뷰 : 김태석 / 제주도의회 의원> "제도개선이 안 된 상태에서 대형화의 길을 터준다면 제주도가 카지노의 천국이 될 수밖에 없어요. 도민들에게는 어떠한 이익도 없습니다. 제도개선을 통해 도민들에게 이익도 주면서 카지노도 상생하는 방법을 택했을 때만이 (논의가 이뤄질 수 있는겁니다.)" Critics insist the province should come up with measures to control the sprawling casino industry. INTERVIEW Jwa Gwang-il / Policy director, Jeju Citizens for Self-government An ordinance amendment that limits the area of a casino would prevent reckless expansion in the industry. The provincial office and the council should find a way to do that. <인터뷰 : 좌광일 / 제주주민자치연대 정책국장> "(카지노 확장이전에 대한 제동은) 조례로도 가능하거든요. 상한선 면적을 명시할 경우 지금 현행 조례를 개정하는 것만으로도 가능하다는 거죠. 제주도와 도의회에서 이를 견제하고 막을 방법을 찾아야 합니다." Starting with the relocation trick by the Jeju Myths and History theme Park, developers are trying to sneakily expand casino businesses on the island. [Reporter] Joseph Kim [Camera] Ko Moon-su There are growing voices that are saying it’s time for authorities to consider whether or not big casino businesses would benefit islanders. Joseph Kim, KCTV

  • Jeju City Tour Bus service ends
  • Jeju City Tour Bus service ends New public bus routes cover stops The Jeju City Tour Bus service, which had been in the red for years, was officially ended August 26th. City officials say they timed the shutdown to coincide with the revamped public transport system. The new bus routes that are part of that make up for the loss of the Jeju City Tour Bus service. The city tour buses never caught on - they had been operating at a deficit since the service began in 2013.

  • Extended repayment period for farming and fishing loans
  • Extended repayment period for farming and fishing loans Province earmarks \360b annually for program The provincial government is easing the repayment system for loans from the farming and fishing village promotion fund. Beginning now, in the second half of the year, borrowers will be given one more chance to get loans. Then, the total amount borrowed, which may include a previous loan, will have to be repaid within two years. That makes the effective term of the loan four years. Regarding loans taken out for facilities, borrowers will not be required to begin making payments for three years. The previous period was two years. They will then have to pay back the money in installments over five years, rather than the previous three.

  • Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. [Report] It seems that more often than not, a big new property is such an unsure thing, such a hit-or-miss kind of deal. And then, turn your gaze from the spotlight for a moment, and it’s the little movie you didn’t even notice that’s making a name for itself. Such is this weekend’s situation, with The Dark Tower and The Autopsy of Jane Doe. I’d go ahead and tell you which falls into which camp, but i’m pretty sure you can figure it out for yourself. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] The Dark Tower (2017, Nikolaj Arcel) The last Gunslinger is locked in a fight with The Man in Black. The Dark Tower is an epic sci-fi tale from someone who is likely better known for their work writing horror: Stephen King. But The Dark Tower series of eight, yes eight books totaling more than 4,000 pages, has become quite successful and well-known. It is only natural, then, that Hollywood would come knocking, looking to turn out a film version. Well, here is it, and…...it’s not very good. On paper, it’s intriguing, and is an excellent series of books, but translated to screen, at least in this iteration, it’s sorely lacking. The last Gunslinger, Roland Deschain, has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O'Dim, also known as the Man in Black, determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black. The problem with this movie adaptation is that it’s hurried, incoherent, even cheesy at times. King’s wild imagination has been flattened to try and make a quick hit, and even Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey can’t buoy up the weak script. If you’re a lover of sci-fi, fantasy, or the books, best to let this one slide. [Slug CG] The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2017, Andre Øvredal) Father and son coroners are pulled into a complex mystery. Moving over to The Autopsy of Jane Doe, we find a small, but quite excellent mystery thriller for our viewing pleasure. This is exactly what happens when a dedicated, but small team gets together to create a genre film with not only strong actors, but a strong script and strong direction. It's just another night at the morgue for a father and son team of coroners, played by Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch. Then, an unidentified, highly unusual corpse comes in. Discovered buried in the basement of the home of a brutally murdered family, the young Jane Doe - eerily well preserved and with no visible signs of trauma - is shrouded in mystery. As they work into the night to piece together the cause of her death, the two men begin to uncover the disturbing secrets of her life. Soon, a series of terrifying events make it clear: this Jane Doe may not be dead. From director Andre Ovredal of trollhunter fame, The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a scarily unpredictable, supernatural shocker that never lets up.
