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.

  • Highest farm debt in country
  • Highest farm debt in country Jeju average: \64m, national average: \27m Jeju farmers are struggling under a staggering amount of debt. According to the Jeju branch of the Bank of Korea, the average Jeju farmer owed 64 million won as of the end of last year. The figure rose 41 percent in just three years. The average debt was 45 million won in 2013. It is also the highest figure in the nation, by more than a factor of two. The average Korean farmer is just 27 million won in debt. Analysts say there are a few reasons for the current situation. Local farmers invest heavily in facilities, living expenses are relative high on the island, and there has been little increase in farming income. The bank says it is essential that farmers and agricultural authorities work to get local farmers out in front of loan payments. It projects the agricultural industry will continue to face tough times and dwindling income. 제주농민 가구당 부채 6천400만원…전국 최고 제주 농가부채가 빠르게 증가하고 있습니다. 한국은행 제주본부에 따르면 지난해 말 기준 제주도내 농가 가구당 부채 규모는 6천 400만 원으로 2013년 4천 500만 원보다 41% 증가�습니다. 이 같은 부채 규모는 전국 최고 수준으로 전국 평균 2천700만 원보다 두배 이상 많은 것입니다. 한국은행은 시설재배에 대한 투자와 생활비 지출이 많지만 농작물 수입 증가는 미미한 점 등이 부채 증가 요인으로 작용했다고 분석했습니다. 농가수지가 지속적으로 악화되고 미래 농업환경도 우호적이지 않다며 농정당국과 농가가 부채 상환에 대응해야 한다고 강조했습니다.

  • Monitoring for low-salinity seawater
  • Monitoring for low-salinity seawater Everything normal now, but researchers expect problems next month Researchers have started to monitor the possible influx to the island of warm, low-salinity seawater. China’s Yangtze River has recently been dumping huge amounts of freshwater into the East China Sea. Currents push the water this way, so the Jeju Ocean and Fisheries Research Institute is monitoring the salinity and temperature of ocean water off the western coast of the island. Also, a fishery inspection vessel named the Samda has been dispatched to a point 100 kilometers from the island. It is trying to determine the route of the low-salinity water. As of now, salinity levels are normal, but the they are expected to drop next month. Authorities are therefore urging caution among those who make their living from the sea, as the phenomenon could have serious effects. 저염분수 유입 우려…해상 예찰 실시 수온 저염분수 유입에 대비한 해상 예찰이 본격 시작됐습니다. 제주도해양수산연구원은 최근 중국 양자강에서 다량의 담수가 방류되면서 제주 서부연안을 중심으로 염분과 수온 조사를 실시하고 있습니다. 어업조사선 삼다호는 내일까지 제주 먼 바다 100km 해상에서 담수 유입경로 등을 파악할 예정입니다. 제주도는 현재는 연안 수온과 염분은 정상 수치를 보이고 있지만 다음달 쯤 저염분수가 유입될 것으로 예상되는 만큼 각별한 주의를 당부하고 있습니다.

  • Jeju: A-Z (Saryeoni Forest Trail)
  • This week on Jeju: A to Z, Todd Thacker takes a brief look at a forested area with a popular walking trail and oreum called Saryeoni, both of which are located in Jeju’s UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve. Report This is the Saryeoni (사려니) Forest Trail, a popular course that meanders north-south between Jeju City and Seogwipo to the east of Hallasan Mountain. [Slug CG] Saryeoni Forest Trail suitable for all ages, fitness levels The full 15-kilometer course runs through Jeju’s UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve. About 500 to 600 meters above sea level, it is an evenly graded path that is walkable by people of all ages and fitness levels. Known for its annual “eco-healing” walks and associated programs, hikers can spot a wide variety of trees, including dogwood, maple, and hornbeam. The forest’s cedar and cypress trees also provide welcome shade from the summer sun and are home to many bird species. [Slug CG] Saryeoni Oreum in Namwon-eup, Seogwipo On the southern end of the trail is Saryeoni Oreum, the tallest volcanic cone in the area. It is noteworthy for its horse-shoe shape, steep slopes and a small volcanic feature on its western side. If you’d like to take a stroll along the path or climb Saryeoni Oreum, there are some recent developments to keep in mind. [Slug CG] Improved facilities, parking relocated off-site Given the popularity of this forest trail, the local government has improved public facilities including washrooms and benches. However, space for individual cars is quite limited. Also note that Mulchat Oreum, which is along the trail, is closed to hikers so that the volcanic cone’s natural ecology can recover. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker Saryeoni’s peaceful walking path and distinctive volcanic cone provide both locals and visitors alike with the chance to enjoy this area’s own small piece of paradise.
