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.

  • New Standards for Mandarin Oranges
  • In September 2015, local authorities simplified its classification of outdoor-grown mandarin oranges into five categories, rather than the previous 11. The province now wants to change the system again to account for sugar content. Minhoe Kim fills reports. Report [Slug] Current mandarin standards based solely on size Orchard-grown mandarin oranges are currently labeled according to size, designated as 2S, S, M, L, or 2L. Fruit that is either too small or too large cannot be sold. This categorization by size, however, is meaningless on the market. Consumers tend towards the sweeter fruit, caring less about overall appearance and size. INTERVIEW Gang Nam-gyu / Nonghyup auction manager Last year, mandarin oranges didn’t have a high sugar content, and the prices reflected that. They’re sweet this year, and more competitive with other fruits, including strawberries. As a result, the prices are also higher. < 강남규 / 농협중앙회 가락공판장 경매부장 > 작년에 당도가 좋지 않고 품위도 낮아서 고전했었는데 올해는 당도가 높아서 딸기 등 경쟁과일과 경쟁을 잘 하고 있습니다. 시세도 높고... [Slug] Province to reset grading standards, account for sugar content The province has decided to restructure its mandarin orange quality standards, seeing as how consumers are attracted to the sweeter, though less visually-appealing fruit. According to the province’s plan, 2S or smaller oranges would be allowed to be sold as long as their sugar content exceeds 10 degrees brix. INTERVIEW Yang Du-hwan / Director, Provincial dept. of citrus promotion Experts have proposed that the quality standards be set according to sugar content. The province would include both sweetness levels and size in the new standard. < 양두환 / 제주도 감귤진흥담당 > 당도 중심 출하 기준의 필요성을 제시하는 분들이 있어서 앞으로 상품의 품질 기준을 당도 또는 크기를 병행한 출하 기준을 마련하고... However, mandarin growers are worried about the proposed change. [Slug] Growers: ‘New standards after less than 2 years?’ The current standards have been in use for less than two years, and, as such, could cause confusion among mandarin growers. INTERVIEW Kim Yun-choen / Mandarin rep., Korean Peasants League (Jeju) Basically, we agree that the standards should reflect consumer preference, but we cannot agree on the change to size. There are currently five categories, and to continue modifying this standard is exhausting. < 김윤천 / 전국농민회제주도연맹 감귤분과위원장 > 큰 틀에서는 아무래도 이제는 예전하고 판매 시스템, 소비자 취향이 바뀌었기 때문에 바뀌긴 해야 하는데 (상품규격이) 5단계로 됐는데 /// 다시 또 건드리면 농가 혼선이 많습니다. 규격 조정은 소모적인 논쟁 밖에 안 돼요. [Reporter] Minhoe Kim [Camera] Moon Ho-seong The province is planning to include other revisions that would change the allowed shipping period for immature green mandarin oranges, and would broaden the scope of quality standards for the future. The province has been holding information sessions since January 5th to detail the various changes for growers island-wide. Minhoe Kim, KCTV

  • ₩5b to be spent purchasing privately owned ‘gotjawal’ land
  • \5b to be spent purchasing privately owned ‘gotjawal’ land Province had purchased 440 hectares of the forestland through last year The provincial government is setting aside five billion won in national funding this year to buy privately owned “gotjawal” forestland. Officials are prioritizing the purchase of “gotjawal” forests in Jocheon and Hangyeong because of their proximity to national forests as well as their unique ecological value. The government is offering sellers a 10 percent reduction in the transfer tax if the province is able to complete the purchase by the end of the year. The local government acquired a total of 440 hectares of previously privately owned gotjawal land between 2009 and the end of last year. It plans to purchase another 950 hectares by the end of 2023. 道, 50억 들여 사유 곶자왈 추가 매입 제주특별자치도가 올해 국비 50억원을 확보해 사유지 곶자왈을 추가 매입합니다. 생태등급 1,2등급이면서 국유림과 인접한 곳으로 조천과 한경 곶자왈 등이 우선 매입 대상입니다. 연말까지 곶자왈을 매수하면 부과된 양도소득세의 10%가 감면되는 인센티브도 제공됩니다. 제주도는 2009년부터 지난해까지 사유지 곶자왈 440헥타르를 매입했고 2023년까지 950헥타르로 확대할 계획입니다.
