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.

  • Gangjeong council wants fact-finding investigation
  • Gangjeong council wants fact-finding investigation ‘Navy lacked procedural justification in selecting base location’ The Gangjeong village council wants a fact-finding investigation into how the navy selected the village as the site for its new base. The provincial office plans to submit a proposal to the central government aimed at getting the Navy to give up its right to compensation for opposition to the base in Gangjeong. The village council wants the request for a fact-finding investigation added to that proposal. Council members say they support the province’s effort to resolve the situation, but that the fact-finding investigation is needed. The council says all of the civil conflicts caused by the construction of the base are the result of the navy’s lack of procedural justification in selecting a location for it, and that’s why a probe is needed. 강정마을회 "건의문에 진상조사 포함해야" 제주도가 강정주민에 대한 구상권 청구 소송을 철회해 주도록 정부에 건의할 예정인 가운데 강정마을회가 건의문에 진상조사를 포함해 줄 것을 요구했습니다. 강정마을회는 성명을 통해 제주도가 강정 마을의 아픔을 치유하기 위해 청와대에 건의문을 보내려는 노력에 환영한다고 밝혔습니다. 하지만 지난 10년동안 해군기지 입지 선정 과정에서 절차적 정당성 결여가 주민 갈등의 원인이 되고 있다며 건의문에 진상조사를 포함시켜 주도록 요청했습니다.

  • Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. [Report] Last week was a dry one, and this weekend is no different, with exactly zero new English movies opening. It is to next weekend then, that we cast our movie gaze, where we get another potential blockbuster opening, as well as a drama with potential that failed to set fire when it opened internationally earlier this year. We start with what will be the fifth entry into the Transformers series, and then follow up that piece of brute action and CGI metal with what would hopefully have been a modern and relevant look at the power and sometimes frightening potential of social media. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Transformers: The Last Knight (2017, Michael Bay) Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. In a summer full to the brim of sequels, we come to what is maybe the granddaddy of them all: Transformers. While never a series to be revered for its story or acting, the films are a decent way to kill a couple of hours on a hot afternoon. And so here we are, with The Last Knight. Optimus Prime is off-world. He has traveled to find his dead home planet, Cybertron, and learns that he was the one responsible for its destruction. Now, searching to find a way to bring Cybertron back to life, he realises that he needs an artifact that is on Earth. The addition of Sir Anthony Hopkins will definitely add some gravitas to the cast, and having part of the story take place 1,000 years in Earth’s past will shake things up, too. Don’t hold your breathe for something revelatory, but there’s no reason that The Last Knight shouldn’t offer just as much entertainment as the other entries in the series. [Slug CG] The Circle (2017, James Ponsoldt) A woman lands a dream job at a powerful tech company. The Circle stars Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, and John Boyega, meaning there’s a pretty heavy-hitting cast at work here. If only they had something better to work with… When Mae is hired to work for the world's largest and most powerful tech and social media company, she sees it as the opportunity of a lifetime. As she rises through the ranks, she is encouraged by the company's founder, Eamon Bailey, to engage in a groundbreaking experiment that pushes the boundaries of privacy, ethics, and ultimately her personal freedom. Her participation in the experiment, and every decision she makes begin to affect the lives and future of her friends, family and that of humanity. The Circle offers up some compelling ideas, but isn’t able to turn them into a solid narrative. Instead, this tale of technological totalitarianism spins out aimlessly.

  • Gas stations required to purchase disaster liability insurance
  • Gas stations required to purchase disaster liability insurance Violators will be fined up to \3m New legal revisions compel all gas stations to take out disaster liability insurance. Failure to do so will result in a fine of between 300,000 and 3 million won, depending on the amount of time the business has been in violation of the law. With just business liability insurance, the gas stations faced the possibility of not being compensated in the case of a fire or explosion. The provincial government says all gas stations and fuel sellers must sign up for disaster liability insurance by July 7th. 주유소 재난배상책임보험 가입 의무화 재난 관리법 개정으로 모든 주유소는 재난배상책임보험에 가입해야 합니다. 가입하지 않을 경우 위반기간에 따라 30만원에서 최고 300만원의 과태료가 부과됩니다. 또 화재나 폭발사고가 발생할 경우 영업배상책임보험에 가입했더라도 보험금을 제대로 받지 못하는 불이익을 받을 수 있습니다. 제주시는 이에따라 다음달 7일까지 자발적으로 보험에 가입해 주도록 주유소와 석유판매업체에 요청하고 있습니다.

  • Closer to resolution of Gangjeong problems? Blue House asks governor for ideas on how to resolve situation Some area residents see signs of hope that long-standing problems in the village of Gangjeong related to the building of a navy base there may be resolved.
