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.

  • Seoul High Court dismisses ‘April Third’ appeal
  • Seoul High Court dismisses ‘April Third’ appeal Plaintiffs wanted memorial hall banned from displaying some items A court has again rejected a demand that the Jeju April Third Peace Memorial Hall be banned from exhibiting certain items. The Seoul High Court dismissed the appeal that targeted a number of exhibitions at the hall. The six plaintiffs in the case included (이인수) Lee In-soo, who is the adopted son of former President (이승만) Rhee Syngman. They had sued the governor of Jeju and the chairman of the Jeju April Third Peace Foundation to get the exhibits removed. In its written ruling, the court said it could find no reasonable justification for the action because it determined that the plaintiffs had no right to file the suit in the first place. 법원, '4·3평화기념관 전시물 금지 청구' 기각 제주 4.3 평화기념관 전시물 금지 청구가 1심에 이어 2심에서도 받아들여지지 않았습니다. 서울고등법원 제 34민사부는 이승만 전 대통령의 양자인 이인수씨 등 6명이 제주도지사와 제주4.3 평화재단 이사장을 상대로 제기한 4.3 평화기념관에서의 각종 전시금지 청구에 따른 항소를 기각했습니다. 재판부는 판결문에서 원고들에게 이 사건 기념관의 전시물 전반에 관한 공정한 전시를 주장할 권리가 존재한다고 보기 어려워 이같이 선고한다고 판시했습니다.

  • Seongsan-eup residents ‘plan to file criminal charges’
  • Seongsan-eup residents ‘plan to file criminal charges’ Committee adamant in opposition to construction of 2nd airport Residents in Seongsan-eup residents plan to file criminal charges against the developers of the island’s second airport, saying the feasibility study for the facility was poorly done. In a Friday morning press conference, members of a committee opposing the airport questioned the feasibility research, including estimates for the number of foggy days in the region and the extent of noise damage the planes will cause. The committee said area residents also did not back Governor Won Heeryong’s suggested formation of a consultative group of representatives from the government and the public. The governor wanted that group to work on easing airport-related conflicts. Committee members instead said the government must give up on the plan to build a second airport. 성산읍 주민, "제2공항 부실 용역 형사고발" 최근 제2공항의 사전타당성 검토 용역이 부실하게 이뤄졌다는 주장이 제기된 것과 관련해 성산읍 주민들이 해당 용역진들을 형사고발하겠다고 밝혔습니다. 제2공항 성산읍 반대대책위원회는 오늘 오전 도민의 방에서 기자회견을 열고 제2공항 사전타당성 검토 용역은 정석비행장의 안개일수와 소음피해 등 여러 부분에서 부실하게 이뤄졌다며 이같이 주장했습니다. 이들은 또 원희룡 도지사가 발표한 주민 갈등 해결을 위한 민관협의기구도 주민 동의가 전혀 없었다며 제주도는 앞서 나가지 말고 제2공항에 관한 사업을 전면 중단하라고 강조했습니다.

  • Film Focus
  • It’s the weekend again, and that means Film Focus. Here’s Mike Laidman with what’s new in local theaters. [Report] Many parts of the world are getting Rogue One this week, but not Korea. We’ve got to wait until after Christmas. But surely we must be getting something else pretty special in its place, right? Well...not really… We’re going to catch up with Storks, which opened last weekend, and then move onto a new, small release - Snowtime - which should whet the winter appetite and get us all hankering for some snow. This weekend is for the kids. [Slug CG] Mike Laidman Welcome to another edition of Film Focus. I’m Mike Laidman. [Slug CG] Storks (2016, Nicholas Stoller, Doug Sweetland) Storks move packages - not babies - until a baby order arrives. Storks deliver babies - everyone knows that - or at least they used to. Now they deliver packages for global internet giant Cornerstore.com. Junior, the company's top delivery stork, is about to be promoted when he accidentally activates the Baby Making Machine, producing an adorable and wholly unauthorized baby girl. Desperate to deliver this bundle of trouble before the boss gets wise, Junior and his friend Tulip, the only human on Stork Mountain, race to make their first-ever baby drop - in a wild and revealing journey that could make more than one family whole and restore the storks' true mission in the world. Storks is a lovely tale, and will appeal to younger audiences. The animation is nice, the voice cast talented. However, what works against it is something that seems to hamstring so many other medium-budget, original animated properties - it doesn’t deliver equally on all fronts. And while there’s nothing to prevent you enjoying Storks, it doesn’t have the storytelling depth and consistency of some other popular animated franchises, something that can make a big difference in your viewing experience. [Slug CG] Snowtime (2016, Jean-Francois Pouliot, Francois Brisson) A boy is joined by a new girl for a huge snowball fight. Next this weekend is Snowtime. To amuse themselves during the winter school break, the kids in a small village decide to have a massive snowball fight. Luke and Sophie, both 11 years old, become the leaders of the opposing sides. Sophie and her cohort defend an elaborate snow fort against the assault of Luke's horde. Whichever side occupies the fort at the end of the winter break, wins. The storyline of Snowtime is simple enough on the surface, but take a closer look and you’ll find a film that deals with some pretty adult themes. It’s at turns childish and boisterous, but is also tender, and even tragic. While squarely aimed at younger viewers, those a little older and able to see past the whimsical fun will leave with a feeling of something greater.

Board members said that in making their decision, they took into account uncertainties at home and abroad, including the rate hike in the U.S. and household debt in Korea. The BOK has kept its key rate steady at the record low 1.25 percent since June.

  • Expanded efforts to prevent avian influenza outbreak
  • Expanded efforts to prevent avian influenza outbreak Three Jeju Olle trails closed The provincial government will work harder to prevent a local outbreak of avian influenza after KCTV reported on insufficient quarantines around migratory bird habitats. Following Thursday discussions with representatives from the Jeju Olle Foundation, provincial officials decided to close Jeju Olle Route 2, which goes from Gwangchigi Beach to Onpyeong Port; Route 13, which begins at Yongsu Port and ends at the Jeoji Village Center; and Route 21, which stretches from the Haenyeo Museum to Jongdal. All of those trails are near area frequented by the birds. In addition, authorities will put up new ‘off-limits” banners around the bird habitats and more closely monitor the feces of the birds for signs of bird flu virus.
