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.

  • Mounting deficit at Jeju Ferry Passenger Terminal
  • Mounting deficit at Jeju Ferry Passenger Terminal Cruise ship dockings on track to plunge 81% this year Jeju Ferry Passenger Terminal is losing money quickly after Beijing put the brakes on cruises to Korea in response to Seoul’s decision to deploy the THAAD missile defense system. 525 cruise ships stops had been scheduled this year. If the current trend continues, local officials say the annual total will plummet 81 percent to just 97. That would result in a 2.6 billion won operating deficit ? 2.4 billion won in lost terminal usage fees and the rest in lost parking revenue. The provincial government has asked the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries for financial support three times. The ministry has not yet responded to those requests. 사드 보복에 제주항 터미널 적자 심각 사드 배치에 따른 보복으로 중국정부가 한국관광을 금지하면서 제주항 국제여객터미널의 운영적자가 커질 전망입니다. 제주특별자치도는 현재 추세라면 제주항에 기항하는 크루즈선은 올 연말까지 97회로 당초 계획됐던 525회에 비해 81% 줄어들 것으로 예측했습니다. 이렇게 된다면 터미널 이용료 24억원과 주차료 1억 4천만원 등 연간 26억원의 적자가 발생할 것으로 추산되고 있습니다. 제주도는 중국정부의 보복 이후 해양수산부에 3차례에 걸쳐 국제여객터미널 운영지원금을 요청했으나 현재까지 이렇다할 답변은 없는 상황입니다.

  • Visa waiver program to be expanded
  • Visa waiver program to be expanded Southeast Asian visitors will no longer need visas from September Beginning later this year, Southeast Asian tourists will no longer need a visa to visit, but local officials say there’s a lot of work to do to make sure things run smoothly once the change happens. At a Monday policy meeting, Governor Won Heeryong announced that the visa waiver program would be expanded in September. It now covers only Chinese tourists. People from Southeast Asia will be allowed to enter and stay in South Korea for five days visa-free regardless of their first destination, as long as their final destination is Jeju. Analysts say that in order to maximize the benefits and minimize the problems for Jeju, there needs to be direct flight service between Jeju and Southeast Asian countries, which means finding slots for airplanes on those routes at Jeju International, and that the island needs to find people to direct and be responsible for group tours with the tourists. 환승무비자 9월부터 동남아 관광객 확대 동남아 관광객을 대상으로 환승무비자 제도가 오는 9월부터 시행될 전망이지만 보완해야 할 과제가 많습니다. 원희룡 제주특별자치도지사는 오늘 정책회의를 주재하고 사드보복에 따른 후속조치로 중국에 한정돼 있는 환승무비자를 동남아 단체 관광객으로 확대하는 방안을 오는 9월부터 시행할 예정이라고 말했습니다. 환승무비자란 단체관광객에 한해 국내 어디로 들어오든 최종 목적지가 제주일 경우 5일동안 비자없이 입국할 수 있는 제돕니다. 하지만 제주에서 해당국으로 출국해야 하는 만큼 직항편 취항과 함께 제주공항에서의 슬롯 확보, 단체관광객들의 인솔책임자 운영 등 선결과제도 적지 않습니다

As Mike Balfour now reports, science park employees are now a bit on edge. Report The headquarters of the On Corporation was established on the island in 2014.

[slug] Property appraised at \38.4b Analysts estimate the value of the property, including 80,000 square meters of land and a four story building, at around 38.4 billion won. [slug] Second bankruptcy in Jeju Science Park after Moneual The On Corporation is the second insolvency among firms that have moved into the Jeju Science Park. The Moneual company went bankrupt and its executives were charged over a 3 trillion won fraud. Workers at the science park feel uneasy after two of their neighbor companies have gone under and their property put up for court auction. They have concerns that the science park will be in name only if firms keep disappearing. INTERVIEW Employee of Jeju Science Park firm Moneual, the On Corporation, Est Soft and Kakao were the biggest firms in the science park. Two of them are gone now. The buildings are empty except for one or two janitors. <인터뷰 : 첨단과학기술단지 이전기업> "모뉴엘하고 온코퍼레이션, 이스트소프트, 카카오가 제일 컸죠. 파산했으니까 비어있죠. 관리인 한두 명 있을지 몰라도 업무 안 한지는 좀 됐어요." INTERVIEW Employee of Jeju Science Park firm The firm went bankrupt for alleged insurance fraud. It’s ugly. <인터뷰 : 첨단과학기술단지 이전기업> "보험 사기로 파산하니까 이미지가 좋지 않죠. " [Reporter] Mike Balfour [Camera] Kim Yong-min As some companies that recently relocated to the Jeju Science Park are known to have financial difficulties, workers’ unease is growing.

  • KAS seeks permission to use more groundwater
  • KAS seeks permission to use more groundwater Korea Airport Service wants 150 tons daily The Korea Airport Service has asked the province for permission to use more of the island’s groundwater, which it distributes as drinking water. The KAS wants its daily limit boosted from 100 tons to 150. The groundwater management committee will review the request April 20th. The KAS made a similar request last year. Local officials rejected it because the KAS opposes their policy of treating local water as a public resource. 한국공항, 지하수 취수량 증산 요청 주식회사 한국공항이 제주도에 지하수 취수량을 늘려달라고 요청했습니다. 한국공항은 지난달 말, 먹는샘물 제조용 지하수 취수허가량을 현재 하루 100톤에서 150톤으로 늘리는 지하수개발 이용 변경허가를 제주도에 신청했습니다. 이번 증산 신청건은 오는 20일 열리는 지하수관리위원회에서 다뤄질 예정입니다. 한국공항은 지난해에도 지하수 취수량 증산을 요청했지만 공수화 개념에 반한다며 심의에서 부결됐습니다.

  • Council session ends
  • Council session ends Speaker urges airlines not to raise fares The provincial council’s 350th provisional session ended Friday after 11 days of deliberations. In his closing remarks, Speaker (신관홍) Shin Gwan-hong urged airlines to reverse their decision to raise fares. He said if they go through with it, Jeju farm products will cost more to ship and Jeju vacations will be more expensive. He therefore urged them to scrap the plan so as not to, in his words, “disappoint local citizens or disrupt local life anymore.” Meanwhile, lawmakers passed a bill giving the Citrus Marketing and Shipping Association the responsibility to set prices for mandarins destined for processing. Among the 32 council members on-hand for the vote, 30 voted in favor, one voted against, and one abstained. 제350회 임시회 폐회…"항공요금 인상 철회해야" 제350회 제주특별자치도의회 임시회가 11일간의 회기를 마치고 오늘(14일) 폐회했습니다. 신관홍 의장은 폐회사를 통해 제주기점 항공사들의 항공요금 상 철회를 촉구했습니다. 신 의장은 항공요금 인상으로 인한 관광비용 상승도 문제지만, 제주 농산물 운송료 부담이 더 큰 문제라며, 더이상 제주도민들에게 실망과 상처를 입히지 않도록 항공요금 인상을 철회해줄 것을 요구했습니다. 한편, 가공용 감귤 수매가격을 감귤출하연합회가 결정하는 내용이 담긴 감귤생산과 유통 조례 개정안은 재적의원 32명 가운데 찬성 30명, 반대, 1명, 기권 1명으로 통과됐습니다.
