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.

  • Little Interest in Waste Policy Group
  • In response to critics of its new waste disposal policy, Jeju City announced that it would organize a group of citizens to evaluate it. As Mike Laidman now reports, there has been little interest from the public in joining that group, and many are wondering if it will lead to anything at all. Report A new waste disposal system was introduced in December, forcing people to only dispose of their garbage and recycling on designated days. Upon its introduction the new system received a flood of complaints. The main criticism being levied is that the policy puts all the responsibility of sorting waste squarely on residents. [slug] Citizens group to evaluate policy fizzles out In the middle of December 2016, Jeju City announced that it would form a citizen group to evaluate the administration’s trash policy in order to minimize the inconveniences it created for residents. However, the plan has since fizzled out and lost its purpose. The city began its search for islanders interested in becoming a part of the group in December, but only a few ever applied and it has yet to be officially organized. [slug] Only 14 applicants In the past two months, only 14 people ever applied for the program - fewer than one-third the number hoped. [slug] Unpaid volunteers, ‘unrealistic plan’ Critics say the failure was expected as the team wouldn’t have been paid for their efforts. Also, there were no required qualifications to apply, meaning the group would have been neither professional nor effective. Jeju City has since altered its plan, and the group will be comprised of members recommended by eup, myeon, and dong communities, as well as those who applied themselves. Despite this, the group still has an uncertain future. Phone Interview Jeju City representative Fourteen people applied and others were recommended by their communities. We haven’t yet received confirmation about whether they will participate. <전화 인터뷰:제주시청 관계자(음성변조)> "공모해서 들어온 분들은 14명 되는데 나머지는 지역에서 추천을 받아봤습니다. 그분들 한테는 하실거냐고 확인은 안한 상태입니다." With no significant development happening with the group, it is losing steam, and, as a result, its purpose. According to the city’s modified plan, the group’s activities would be limited to simply examining the existing situation. The group could end up being superficial, with no practical use. [Reporter] Mike Laidman [Camera] Kim Seung-cheol While Jeju City hasn’t even been able to launch a policy evaluation team, Jeju Province, on the other hand, is expected to announce an alternative trash disposal system at the end of the month, giving residents a first-hand look at an uncoordinated administration.

  • Expanded ‘Safe School Trip Service’
  • Expanded ‘Safe School Trip Service’ Jeju is popular destination for schools across the country The provincial government is expanding what it calls its “Safe School Trip Service.” Many schools across the nation choose Jeju as their trip destination, and the province was the first to launch this kind of service in the country. Schools who take advantage of it receive safety reports for the accommodations, tour buses, and restaurants they plan to use and visit while here. The province will start offering reports for amusement facilities this year. 390 schools used the service when it was launched in 2014. That number spiked to 1,300 schools last year. 道, 안심수학여행서비스 확대 추진 제주특별자치도가 전국 최초로 시행하고 있는 안심수학여행서비스를 확대 운영합니다. 안심수학여행서비스는 수학여행단이 제주에서 머물 숙박시설과 관광버스, 음식점 등에 대해 사전 안전점검을 실시한 후 그 결과를 해당 학교에 사전 통보하는 것으로 제주도는 올해부터 점검대상을 유원시설까지로 확대합니다. 시행 첫 해인 지난 2014년의 경우 신청학교는 390곳이었고 지난해는 1천 300여곳으로 늘면서 호응을 얻고 있습니다.

  • New working-level April Third Incident committee 15-member group has 2-year term Local officials have created a new working-level committee to uncover the truth surrounding the April Third Incident and restore the honor of its victims. The province appointed 15 members to the committee. This is the ninth such group to be formed, and it has a term of two years. The committee will work to expand financial support for victims, create a permanent system through which victims and their relatives can be officially recognized, and prepare for the 70th anniversary of the incident.

  • Seoul opposes Jeju’s wind power profit-sharing requirement
  • Seoul opposes Jeju’s wind power profit-sharing requirement Provincial government vows to continue policy The national government opposes Jeju’s system through which profits earned through the generation of wind power are shared with the local community. The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy asked the province to eliminate the stipulation for such profit sharing. Ministry representatives say the requirement overburdens wind power developers. Provincial representatives have countered by saying that it is only because of that requirement that skeptical residents on the island have been convinced to support wind farms. The province will therefore keep the law as is. This profit-sharing plan is part of both the Jeju Special Law and a local wind power ordinance. Wind power developers have already paid four-point-five billion won into the profit-sharing fund. 정부, '풍력이익공유화제도' 제동 정부가 제주도의 풍력개발 이익공유화제도에 대해 제동을 걸고 나섰습니다. 산업통상자원부는 풍력개발 사업자에게 주민 보상 외에 이중부담을 주는 이익공유화제도를 과도한 규제로 보고 제주도에 근거 조항 삭제를 요구하고 있습니다. 이에대해 제주도는 해당 제도가 없을 경우 풍력 발전에 반대하는 주민들을 설득할 방법이 없다며 제도를 고수하겠다는 입장입니다. 풍력 이익 공유화제도는 제주특별법과 풍력발전사업 허가 등에 관한 조례에 의해 시행되고 있으며 현재 45억 원 규모의 풍력자원공유화기금이 조성돼 있습니다.

  • Mini collection stations for recyclables at studio apartments
  • Mini collection stations for recyclables at studio apartments Critics call practice unfair Critics say it’s unfair of Jeju City to set up new mini collection stations for recyclables only at studio apartment buildings. The city says it is installing them in (아라동) Ara-dong and (노형동) Nohyeong-dong in response to complaints that those homes are too small to hold the recyclables until the designated day for their disposal. The new system is set up so that the building custodians haul the waste from the mini stations to the neighborhood “Clean House” collection station on the proper day. Critics argue that, not only is this unfair, but that it is just a temporary fix. 원룸에 분리배출통 설치…형평성 논란 제주시가 원룸 등 소형거주지에 재활용쓰레기 분리배출통 설치를 지원하기로 한 가운데 형평성 논란이 일고 있습니다. 제주시는 요일별 배출제와 관련해 원룸 등에서 재활용 쓰레기를 보관할 공간이 부족하다는 민원에 따라 아라동과 노형동을 중심으로 분리배출통을 설치 지원한다고 밝혔습니다. 이는 재활용 쓰레기를 분리배출통에 배출하면 원룸 관리인이 요일별 품목에 맞게 인근 클린하우스로 배출하는 방식입니다 하지만 요일별 배출제로 대다수 시민들의 불편은 여전해 형평성 논란과 함께 땜질식 처방이라는 지적입니다.
