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.

  • Tourism industry grows, but wages drop
  • Tourism industry grows, but wages drop Average salary last year: \18.2m Jeju’s tourism industry continues to grow, but the people working in it are making comparatively little. According to a recent report by the Jeju branch of the Bank of Korea, the local tourism industry grew 7.9 percent last year. That outpaced the overall growth in local industry, which was 6.2 percent. Analysts say the added value generated by the tourism sector jumped 100 billion won from the previous year to 1.6 trillion won. The operating surplus from tourism businesses rose 0.9 percent between 2010 and 2015. Over the same period, however, the proportion of business budgets paid to workers fell 3.1 percentage points to 43.9 percent. The average annual salary of people working in the tourism industry was 18.2 million won last year. That’s roughly 1.7 million won lower than their counterparts in manufacturing and construction. 제주 관광 호조세 속 종사자 임금 수준은 하락 제주 관광산업 성장에 비해 종사자의 임금 수준은 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났습니다. 한국은행 제주본부가 발표한 '제주 관광 부가가가치 추계와 관광객의 경제적 파급효과 분석 보고서'에 따르면 지난해 제주지역의 관광시장 성장률은 7.9%로 지역내 총 생산 성장률 6.2%를 웃돌았고 관광부가가치는 1조 6천 억원으로 전년보다 1천억 원 증가했습니다. 지난해 관광업체별 영업잉여는 35.4%로 5년 전보다 0.9% 증가한 반면, 같은 기간 종업원의 보수 비중은 43.9%로 3.1%p 하락했습니다. 관광종사자 평균 임금도 연간 1천 820만 원으로 제조업이나 건설업 등에 비해 많게는 170만 원 낮았습니다.

  • KCTV: Myths and History?
  • Construction of the Jeju Myths and History Theme Park is underway, with the first parts of it slated to open next year. Critics, however, are questioning the overall focus of the park, saying it’s not living up to its name. Minhoe Kim has more. Report Construction work is underway at the sprawling Jeju Myths and History Theme Park. [SLUG] Zone R in the Jeju Myths and History Theme Park Zone R shows the most progress among the park’s four zones. [SLUG] 721 condo units to be complete next year Already, 79% of the work on the 721 condominium units is complete, and they should be ready to welcome families next year. Moving to Zone A, 20% of the construction of hotels and conference facilities is now done. [SLUG] ‘Resort complex with myths, history, culture’ The Jeju Myths and History Theme Park touts itself as a resort complex featuring the interesting myths, history, and culture of Jeju Island. Looking more closely at the construction site, however, reveals it as more of a mega-accommodation facility. During the early stages of the theme park project, entertainment facilities and a water park were planned for Zone A, and international dining, history, and culture sites were planned for Zone H. Zone J was to feature a myths and history hall as well as a square for events. But recently, the plans have been modified to instead feature a world theme park and accommodations in Zone A, and a “cultural” dining hall and resort buildings in Zone H. The modified plans add accommodations, in addition to a myths and history theme park, and then an air and space museum to Zone J. However, it is Zone R which has seen the biggest changes. Originally designed to be a themed history and culture street, it will instead be full of resort buildings, according to the modified plans. Civic groups are criticizing the changes, saying that the main theme of myths and history is now absent. Recording Hong Yeong-cheol / Representative, Local NGO If you look at how things are developing at the site, you can see that the project is pretty far off from the motif of the myths and history of Jeju Island. < 홍영철 / 제주참여환경연대 대표 > 변경돼 온 과정을 보면 전반적으로 거기를 제주의 신화와 역사를 모티브로 한 테마파크라고 보기에는 현재 상황이 너무나 동떨어져 있다. Landing Jeju Development, the developer, announced it will begin to welcome families to the condominiums next year, when it will also partially open the theme park. Meanwhile, plans for Zone H have yet to be finalized. Interview Landing Jeju Development representative There are no construction plans for Zone H yet. However, this won’t affect the timeline and the theme park will be fully open to guests in 2019. < 람정제주개발 관계자 > (H지구는) 아직 입찰이나 일정 나온 것은 없습니다. 2019년 완전 개장이니까 그 일정에는 차질 없도록... Recently, Genting Singapore, an integrated resorts development specialist and one of the two original investors in the Jeju Myths and History Theme Park, pulled out of the project. [Reporter] Minhoe Kim [Camera] Kim Yong-min The Hong Kong-based property development company Landing International, the other investor, purchased its stake and thus became the sole developer of the park. Some are now expressing concerns over the project, arguing Landing International doesn’t have the necessary experience to properly develop a resort. Minhoe Kim, KCTV

  • 1 in 4 Jeju farmers at least 65 years old 93,000 farmers on island in 2015 The farming population in Jeju is aging, with one in four now at least 65 years old. In a recent report on the last two decades of the agricultural sector, the Honam Regional Statistics Office shows that nearly 24,000 local farmers were at least 65 last year. That’s 70 percent more than the figure from 1995. They account for 26 percent of the total farming population, and that’s 16 percentage points higher than in 1995. This comes as the total number of farmers fell 36 percent over the period to 93,400 last year. 제주 농가 고령화… 4명 중 1명은 65살 이상 제주지역 농가 4명 중 1명은 65살 이상 고령인것으로 나타났습니다. 호남지방통계청이 발표한 '20년 간 농업 생산의 변화상'에 따르면 지난해 기준으로 65살 이상 농가인구는 2만 3천950명으로 20년 전인 1995년보다 70% 증가했습니다. 65살 이상인 고령화 비율은 26%로 농가 4명 가운데 1명 꼴이며, 지난 1995년에 비해 16%p 늘어났습니다. 한편 지난해 제주지역 농가인구는 9만3천400여 명으로 20년 전보다 36% 감소했습니다.

  • Policy forum on Ora Tourism Complex likely
  • Policy forum on Ora Tourism Complex likely Provincial government waiting for approval from Seoul The policy forum meeting requested by civic groups regarding the Ora Tourism Complex is likely to take place. When asked about it, Governor Won Heeryong said at a press conference on Wednesday that the issue is being reviewed by central government officials. He explained that the condition for holding policy discussions in other provinces was that the local government be solely responsible for the project in question. In the case of the Ora Tourism Complex, Jeju only had the right to grant approval. That’s why, the governor said, he needed the go-ahead from national officials to proceed. Won added that even if the national government rejects a policy forum, he believed a discussion of some sort was necessary. Meanwhile, JCC - the main developer of the Ora Tourism Complex - has submitted a document to the province claiming the complex does not require a policy forum. 오라관광단지 정책토론회 개최될 듯 제주도내 시민사회단체에서 청구한 오라관광단지 정책토론회가 개최될 전망입니다. 원희룡 제주특별자치도지사는 오늘 오전 가진 기자간담회에서 시민사회단체의 오라관광단지 정책토론회 청구에 대한 입장을 묻는 질문에 현재 청구의 적격문제를 놓고 실무진에서 검토를 진행중이라고 말했습니다. 다른 지방은 정책토론회를 개최하는 조건으로 해당 지방자치단체가 직접 추진하는 사업으로 제한하고 있는데 오라관광단지는 제주도가 인허가권만 갖고 있어 유권해석을 받고 있다고 밝혔습니다. 하지만 부적격 판단이 나더라도 도민 관심이 큰 만큼 설명회나 토론회를 개최할 필요가 있다고 언급했습니다. 한편 오라관광단지 사업주체인 JCC는 정책토론회 대상이 아니라는 법률자문결과를 제주도에 제출했습니다.
