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.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs earmarked the funds as part of its initiative to economically develop the communities. The province will use the money to develop a brand using Jeju “batdam,” as the walls are known in Korean, and help rural villages lead and benefit from the associated community projects.

  • Jeju: A to Z (Jeju Museum of Art)
  • This week on Jeju A to Z, Todd Thacker profiles Jeju’s first public art museum. The Jeju Museum of Art, here in Jeju City, features a large area for permanent and special exhibitions, a theater, parkland with plenty of space, works of art, and more. [Report] Though Jeju is a pleasant place to spend your summer -- be it as a local or a visitor -- there are days when a little respite from the heat or the rain is definitely welcome. Fortunately, Jeju has a large number of interesting -- and air conditioned -- museums to chose from. [Slug CG] 10 minutes south of Jeju City along 1139 Road If you’re a fine art aficionado, then the Jeju Museum of Art has just what you’re looking for. It’s a mere 10-minute drive south of Jeju City along the 1139 Road. As Jeju’s first public art museum, its proximity to the city, its collection, facilities, and grounds, all make it a valuable and attractive destination. As you walk up to the entrance of the museum you encounter perhaps the building’s most memorable feature. It’s a large reflecting pool which makes the modern architecture of the museum look like it’s floating on water. [Slug CG] 7,000m2 space includes special, permanent exhibition halls Inside the 7,000-square-meter building is a beautiful example of multipurpose, integrated spaces. Facilities include a Special Exhibition Hall on the first floor, a Permanent Exhibition Hall on the second floor, as well as a Citizen’s Gallery and hall displaying the work of Jeju painter Chang Ree-suk (장리석). [Slug CG] Museum grounds are spacious, picturesque And before you head home, be sure to walk the museum grounds. There are benches, a walking path, and a large circular area for events, which is named Baeknokdam, after Hallasan Mountain’s prominent crater peak. [Slug CG] jmoa.jeju.go.kr The museum -- being a public institution -- has special art education and film appreciation programs which are held monthly in its lecture hall and movie theater. Check their website for the latest details. Admission to the museum is a very reasonable 1,000 won for adults. [Slug CG] Todd Thacker So, in the middle of a hot summer’s day if you’d like to simultaneously cool off and take in some exciting art work, remember the Jeju Museum of Art is both economical and close at hand.

  • Few tutoring businesses openly disclose fees
  • Few tutoring businesses openly disclose fees Government seeks industry transparency by 2017 A recent survey held in Jeju shows that only 20 percent of private tutoring business are disclosing their fees openly. The ministry says that last month, out of Jeju’s 1,427 private academies, only 392 or 27.4 percent were found to have displayed their fees at the entrance to their buildings. Although this is up from 21.7 percent last year, it is far below the national average of 39.2 percent. The initiative was introduced by the government in an aim to make private academies more transparent and Jeju has been given until January 1st 2017 to be implemented island-wide. 제주지역 학원 교습비 외부표시 20%그쳐 제주지역 학원 10군데 가운데 8군데는 교습비를 외부에서 볼 수 있도록 표시하지 않는 것으로 나타났습니다. 교육부에 따르면 지난달까지 도내 학원 1천427군데 가운데 학원비를 외부에 표시한 학원은 392군데로 시행률이 27.4%에 그쳤습니다. 이는 지난해 21.7%과 비교해 늘어났지만 전국 평균인 39.2%를 크게 밑도는 수칩니다 정부는 학원비 투명화와 사교육비 경감 대책의 하나로 옥외 가격 표시제를 시행중이지만 제주도는 관련 조례 시행일을 내년 1월 1일까지 유예하고 있습니다.

  • Good marks for Jeju golf tourism
  • Good marks for Jeju golf tourism 500 surveyed cite price as overall weakness A study from the Jeju Development Institute says that Jeju’s golf tourists rank Jeju’s golf courses as satisfactory but claim that tours are overpriced. From February of this year researcher Choe Yeong-geun (최영근) conducted a three-month survey, interviewing over 500 respondents. He found that 55.1 percent said they were satisfied with their golf tours while 14.1 percent were dissatisfied with high prices. In regards to a possible halt in the government tax breaks for local golf courses, 78.1 percent of respondents opposed the idea. Choi suggested lowering prices at the local golf clubs would raise the competitiveness of Jeju’s golf tours. "제주골프 관광 만족하지만 비용은 비싸" 골프관광객들은 제주의 골프환경에 비교적 만족하면서도 높은 가격을 부정적인 요소로 꼽는 것으로 나타났습니다. 제주발전연구원 최영근 전문연구위원이 지난 2월부터 석달간 제주를 찾은 골프관광객 526명을 대상으로 조사한 결과 응답자의 55.1%가 제주골프관광에 만족하는 것으로 조사됐습니다. 불만족은 14.4%로 비싼 골프비용과 편의시설 이용료를 가장 큰 원인으로 지목했습니다. 또 개별소비세와 관련세금의 부과에 대한 질문에서는 응답자의 78.1%가 반대한다고 응답했습니다. 이에 따라 최영근 연구위원은 파격적인 골프비용 인하를 통한 골프관광의 경쟁력을 높여야 한다고 주장했습니다.

  • BOK holds August benchmark at 1.25%
  • BOK holds August benchmark at 1.25% Local economy‘likely’to face continuing uncertainty The Bank of Korea on Thursday left its benchmark rate unchanged for a second straight month, a move that was widely expected. The decision to hold the rate at a record-low 1.25 percent indicates the central bank is maintaining a wait-and-see approach. Experts suggest this is in light of a rate cut in June and a subsequent fiscal stimulus package. The BOK's monetary policy board noted some improvements in the domestic market, but said the local economy will likely continue to face many uncertainties. 한국은행, 기준금리 2개월 째 연 1.25% 동결 한국은행 기준금리가 연 1.25%로 동결됐습니다. 한국은행은 오늘(11일) 오전 이주열 총재 주재로 금융통화위원회를 열어 이번달 기준 금리를 현재의 연 1.25%로 동결하기로 했습니다. 이같은 기준금리 동결은 가계부채에 대한 부담과 추경효과를 지켜보자는 판단이 작용한 것으로 지난 6월 사상 최저인 연 1.25%로 떨어진 뒤 2개월 째 같은 수준을 유지하고 있습니다.
