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.

  • KCTV: Genting Singapore Pulls Out
  • Genting Singapore, one of the two investors in the Jeju Myths and History Theme Park has pulled out of the project. The Hong Kong-based Landing International, the other investor, purchased its stake. Mike Laidman reports. Report Genting Singapore released some surprising news on November 11th through its website. According to the post, the company has pulled out of the Jeju Myths and History Theme Park construction. [slug] Genting Singapore sells stake to Landing International Genting has sold its half of the shares for the huge project to partner investor Hong Kong-based Landing International. The two investors had begun working in Jeju, each holding a 50% stake in what will become one of the largest theme parks in Asia. Genting Singapore sold its shares for 420 million US dollars, equivalent to 490 billion won. Genting had invested some 380 million dollars in the theme park, and now stands to gain over 40 million dollars in profit from the sale. The Singapore investor says it is focusing on other businesses and will instead invest money in a Japanese resort project once investment laws are revised so that a foreign company is able to invest in such a business. [slug] Landing Intl. becomes sole investor in Landing Jeju Development Now, Landing International has become the sole investor in Landing Jeju Development, the developer of the Jeju Myths and History Theme Park. Landing International and Genting had previously split the shares for the theme park down the middle. Since the acquisition was made, Landing Jeju Development has become the only subsidiary of Landing International. Landing Jeju Development circulated a press release and announced that work on the Jeju Myths and History Theme Park project will continue to progress smoothly and according to the initial plans, and that the acquisition will have nothing to do with the final results. Sync Representative / Landing Jeju Development Despite the acquisition, nothing will be changed in the Jeju Myths and History Theme Park project. <씽크:람정제주 관계자> "우리 람정제주는 제주신화월드 사업 추진하는데는 외형상으로 당초 계획됐던 프로젝트에 수정이나 차질을 빚는 것은 하나도 없습니다." The construction for the theme park has been underway for some time, and more than 700 million dollars have already been spent on construction. But the question remains why did Genting Singapore decide to pull out of the deal? Some assume that it is because the plan to open a casino in the theme park faced difficulties. In fact, Genting Singapore had partnered with Landing International to invest in another Jeju casino business, but suddenly decided to sell off its shares and withdraw last year. Sync Provincial representative Landing International brought Genting Hong Kong into the casino business to buy Genting Singapore’s stake last year. The casino firm then changed its name to Landing. <씽크:제주도 관계자> "(란딩이) 끌어들인 것은 겐팅 홍콩입니다. 싱가포르가 아니고 그 카지노도 중간에 지분을 란딩이 다 인수했어요. 그래서 상호도 란딩으로 다 바꾼 것이고..." The Jeju Myths and History Theme Park is being likened to Jeju’s Sentosa. Despite assurances otherwise, now that Genting Singapore, the parent company of Sentosa, has pulled out of the project, people are worried about how this could affect things moving forward.

  • Research on Korean fir preservation
  • Research on Korean fir preservation Ministry of Environment funds effort with \350m Researchers will look into ways to preserve Korean firs, which are dying out on Hallasan Mountain because of climate change. The Jeju World Natural Heritage Center has received 350 million won from the Ministry of Environment for the project. That money will be used to take aerial photos in order to get a count on the exact number of Korean firs growing on the mountain, to expand monitoring efforts, and to figure out the precise cause of the die-off. Researchers will take the new data and combine it with previous study results to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the dispersion and density of the forests have changed over time… and make predictions for the future. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources has listed the Korean fir as an endangered species. Global warming is blamed for reducing the species by about half. 한라산 구상나무 보전 연구 추진 기후변화로 고사하고 있는 한라산 구상나무 숲을 보전하기 위한 연구가 본격 추진됩니다. 제주특별자치도 세계유산본부는 환경부로부터 예산 3억 5천만 원을 지원받아 항공사진 촬영을 통해 구상나무 개체수를 확인하고 고사 원인 등 생육 상황을 정밀 관찰하게 됩니다. 또한 지금까지 확보한 구상나무의 분포나 밀도변화의 분석을 바탕으로 앞으로의 변화를 예측한다는 계획입니다. 구상나무는 국제적으로 보호가치가 높지만 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 절반 정도가 말라죽은 것으로 추정되고 있습니다.
