Daejeon on the 8th to urge the withdrawal of the Daejeon governor's expansion plan and relocation to the outskirts. They argued in a press conference that after the Daejeon governor was established, citizens were exposed to the risk of gambling addiction, traffic difficulties caused by illegal parking on weekends, and the deterioration of education and residential environment caused by the concentration of entertainment facilities, and demanded the relocation or closure of the outskirts, but the society criticized that it was trying to expand. The Daejeon governor is contributing to 17.8 billion won in local finances per year, including leisure tax and local education tax, in the Daejeon area with sales of 254 billion won last year. As Gyeryong Construction moved to its new office building in February, Ma Society plans to improve customer service with optimized facilities through purchase and remodeling of Gyeryong Construction's office building.

This was helped by the media and broadcasting reports of bad events related to the horse industry. It is time to think a lot about how to overcome this crisis in the horse industry. Horse racing is putting a lot of effort into making a way for horse racing to become an international race, but compared to that effort, the effect is not that great yet. However, I think there will be consequences if you keep trying. Racing Media is also struggling with unexpected things this year, but I'm sure it will overcome them wisely. The Korean Horse Training Association, which I am in charge of, did not have much activity in 2017. It is true that due to various conditions, there were restrictions on activities. I hope that 2018 will be a year when we can remove all of these things one by one and pursue new changes.

Whether it was difficult or difficult, the year ends like this. Looking back at the year, as always, I think it would have been better if I had made a little concession. I think it comes from my greed and obsession that I am right and that I have to change it in the new year, but it is not fixed again. The Jangje Association, a small group of about 90 people in Korea in 2018, is working together to find a new way by integrating what was divided into two groups into one group and to fulfill the developmental role of the domestic horse industry. I want to do my best to manage the horse's hoof, which is the second life for horses, and to play my role as a Jangje priest with the goal of improving qualitative technology to provide the best service.

Representative Kim Chul-min pointed out that the general agricultural and fishing village development project, which has spent a total of 13 trillion won so far, has been reduced to a nuisance due to the standing by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the achievement-oriented operation of local governments, and urged the government to come up with measures to improve agricultural and rural development quickly. He focused on issues close to people's lives, pointing out that food safety problems that threaten the public's health, such as the pesticide egg scandal, are constantly occurring in our society and emphasizing the urgent need to improve the egg distribution structure centered on GP centers to ensure food safety for the people.

Kim Hyun-kwon, who entered the 20th National Assembly as a proportional representative of farmers and fishermen of the Democratic Party of Korea, was praised for taking the lead in cleaning up the deep-rooted evils of the agricultural industry through his activities such as digging into the tyranny of livestock-affiliated companies and unfair practices, insensitivity to malpractice and embezzlement by the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives, and raising suspicions of corruption in overseas real estate investment by the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation. He was also praised for his outstanding performance in the maritime and fisheries sectors by pointing out problems such as whale congestion on the domestic coast, microplastic pollution, illegal fishing of squid on the east coast of Chinese fishing boats,

Park then wrote an autograph on Cho Tae-hyun's uniform with the phrase "National team, you can do it," creating a friendly atmosphere.The interview is about Cho Tae-hyun, who is pursuing his dream every day to participate in the Olympics, and Park Sang-young, a fencing player who supports his dream. Holt School students who came to the scene to cheer for Cho Tae-hyun are creating emotional communication and stability among students through the healing horse riding program. If I saw it meaninglessly, I could have thought that it was just catching fire, but the moment I ran with the torch, I got goosebumps all over my body. I felt like I was really starting the Olympics, and I also felt the excitement I felt two years ago. I also felt the pressure of the athletes who are practicing to participate in the Olympics and I felt the complicated emotions.

Among them, Cho Tae-hyun, who dreams of becoming a national equestrian athlete on behalf of the horseback riding world, drew attention as a runner. Cho Tae-hyun, who played as a torchbearer on the day, was running with Park Sang-young, a gold medalist in fencing in the Rio Olympics, and was seen chanting "I can do it." Students and parents from the same school came out to the scene of the Seonghwa Bongsong to cheer for them. It was like enjoying a festival of people around the world, waving banners and cheering sticks. Choi Myung-an, a teacher at Holt School who teaches Cho Tae-hyun, said, "It is an honor for my teaching student to participate in an international event, and I hope he will be a great friend based on today's feeling even after graduation.

Unlike the usual rigid atmosphere, the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony was due to the expectation that he was the first horse leader appointed by the Moon Jae In government, and there were applause during the inauguration speech or loud answers to Chairman Kim Nak-soon's questions. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who seemed to have recognized the situation in which his inauguration speech had no choice but to be "dignified," shook hands and talked with all employees in front of the lobby of the main building after the inauguration ceremony. "It is true that there were concerns that he was a parachute and a non-professional at the time of the inauguration, but listening to his inauguration speech today, he seems to be gaining strength to overcome our internal distrust

He also said, "The chairman protects the institution and organization, and the members of the organization trust and protect the chairman. That is what the Korean Horse Association promises to prosper the community." Finally, Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said, "The Korean Horse Association will be different and should be different," said, "Let's all become the leaders of creating a new history of the Korean Horse Association with a confident attitude.

The second task can be concentrated as a response to the standardization of the horse racing industry. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said that even with global trends, generating profits through horse racing is difficult for the future, mentioned the crisis of closing the over-the-counter sales office. "As a top professional manager of the horse industry, I know that there are some concerns and voices of concern," said Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who revealed his career as a professional manager and a scholar of lectures and research on culture and arts at universities and said, "The CEO realized that the ability to present the right direction and solve problems is the first virtue." In particular, based on his experience as an aide to the first union leader of the National Assembly when the Standing Committee of the Labor Relations Commission

As soon as he took office, he said he would quickly begin to investigate each department's work. In fact, he reportedly received reports on each department's work on the day of his inauguration, last weekend, and until July 24. Most welcome news was that he stressed that he would "make sure that all possible areas of work are carried out in a transparent manner," recognizing that "the Korean Horse Association is neither an intelligence agency nor an institution that requires special security." He also said that this is the "shortcut to restoring trust to the public." Analysts say that the remarks were made with the problem of deteriorating the image of the Korean horse racing society and the horse industry, which was triggered by former chairmen cutting off or avoiding some media at the "advice" of some followers.

The over-the-counter sales office of the ticket office has adversely affected the environment of residents and students as it is located in residential areas and near schools, as well as the unhealthy operating structure that produces gambling addicts," said Park Beom-gye, a lawmaker who proposed the revision. "As it is installed in the middle of the city and threatens the residents' right to live, education, and the right to live in a pleasant environment, the over-the-counter sales office should be moved to the outskirts." "We are calling for the relocation of the over-the-counter sales office in solidarity with the residents of Yongsan, Seoul, who are suffering from the issue of over-the-counter sales office," Park said. "We plan to actively cooperate for the passage of the bill with the Saenuri Party whose constituency is Yongsan and seek various ways of solidarity to solve fundamental problems.

He also said that generating profits through horse racing is not an end, but a means. Instead of maximizing profit generation, publicity and shareability should now be prioritized, and "our community will strive to become a healthy institution that expects the highest productivity in its best condition." In particular, since the establishment of infrastructure to revitalize horse racing is also an important value, he said, "We believe that not only horse racing but also the horse racing industry needs to grow together to complete the development of the horse industry in a true sense."Prior to restoring public trust, he said that the first priority was to create an organizational culture that trusted each other, and that he promised to do so because the most important value in practicing this is fairness in personnel management as the head of the Korean Racing Authority.

The Korea Racing Authority spent 110 billion won on the project to move to an 18-story new building at 52 Cheongpa-ro, Yongsan-gu. It was originally planned to open around September last year, but it is currently unclear whether it will open or not due to opposition from nearby school officials and residents. Nearby school officials and parents strongly insist on "violating the right to learn," saying that the video racetrack could have a bad impact on children's education. The Korean Racing Authority suggested a plan to dispel local residents' concerns by placing martial arts masters near the Shin credit mountain branch and installing surveillance posts and surveillance cameras. It started operating the cultural center at the end of January under the plan to open it as a cultural center from Monday to Thursday, when horse racing is not held, to operate singing, yoga and dance classes for residents.

Emphasizing that the only way to apologize and ask for forgiveness is to be reborn, he said he wants to make the day of his inauguration be remembered as "the starting date of a new history that promises and declares to the people that it is a place to be reborn as a horse society of the people." Above all, he emphasized that he would love and trust the Korean horse society organization indefinitely, and said, "We can be loved enough depending on how we do it."The two tasks of the Korean Horse Association, which Chairman Kim Nak-soon revealed, were the restoration of public trust and the handling of difficulties in the declining of the horse racing industry. It is a very difficult challenge to return the frozen heart to a warm gaze, but he stressed that he will surely achieve the restoration of public trust by adding the outstanding abilities,

The new opening of over-the-counter sales centers in Wonju, Gangwon Province, in 2007 and Suncheon, Jeollanam-do in 2011 was canceled due to residents' opposition. The Seocho branch in Seoul, which was pursuing the relocation, went to court, but it was finally canceled in 2012. The Mapo branch in Seoul was operated until 2009 as it was included in the purification zone after the School Health Act was revised in 2007 and was closed. The Seongdong branch in Seoul, which was operated until 2011, was eventually closed due to problems with the building owner during the relocation process. In addition, the relocation and remodeling plans of the Yongsan branch and the Daejeon branch are still struggling, and the promotion of the Malmunhwa Complex Leisure Center in Suanbo, Chungju is also having difficulties.

Chairman Kim Nak-soon was first called as the 36th chairman of the Korea Racing Authority and said it was a personal honor. As with most inaugurations, he mentioned the weather and said, "The cold start is not so much the public's view of the current Korean Racing Authority as the weather," adding, "I am truly afraid of the public's strict order to be reborn with a great sense of responsibility." Although he was branded as the head of a state-run company subject to public distrust, criticism, and deep-rooted evils, he said he would not hold people accountable for any reason. The problem was not that of the entire Korean Racing Authority, but that of the managers who claimed to be puppets and some of their followers who used it as tools of their standing. However, not everyone should be proud.

Last year is remembered as a very eventful and difficult year until the earthquake and the end of the year fire disaster, in addition to the nation's anxiety caused by the national manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of the president, and the nuclear provocation of North Korea. In the horse racing industry, the horse racing industry, including the horse racing business, has experienced a series of deaths of horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and rare cases of special work supervision. I hope that 2018 will be a year that has turned around with a new start like a new sun of hope, as if we are exiting a dark tunnel. Although the goal of integrating Korean horse racing and entering Part II has been achieved, there is still insufficient support for the improvement

Since August 16, the Korea Racing Authority and the KRA have negotiated a total of 15 main and working-level negotiations on 110 union requirements and 78 KRA requirements, but failed to narrow their differences, and negotiations were held through mediation by the National Labor Relations Commission on December 15, but negotiations broke down as they failed to reach an agreement, and the KRA eventually reported a strike on the 20th.The ticketing union demanded that the average weekly working hours be recognized as more than 15 hours (transition to employment types) reflecting actual working hours. This is a job in which ticket sales workers, who are part-time racers, only go to work on the day of the horse race to issue tickets and guide them, and they are ultra-short-time workers who currently work less than 15 hours per week because they work two days a week.

The community is making efforts to improve the image of horse racing and over-the-counter branching by appeasing the public sentiment by volunteering in Yongsan and opening a cultural center. There is no legal flaw before the Yongsan branch. As the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said, since the branching office is operating in the same area, it is not necessary to seek consent from local residents for the relocation. Also, the distance from the school that the opposition claims is beyond the 200 meters set by law, so there is no big problem. In particular, only two boulevards from the nearest Seongsim Girls' Middle and High School are blocked, and only 0.27 students are actually going to school in front of the Shin Yongsan branch, which proved that the opposition's claim is absurd.Nevertheless, the opposing side is unconditionally shouting out the opposition.

Therefore, I am confident that it will ultimately establish itself as an important position in the livestock industry in Korea in the future. To that end, we need to develop a system and build a control tower that will enable the training and management of experts above all else, and the main goal should be to revitalize the youth horse riding of consumers in the future, which will increase demand. In addition, investment and efforts should be made to cultivate and assist horse producers in case demand increases. As for the successful cases of France that we will benchmark, the government led the way in controlling the industry to provide various supports and public relations, and quickly established an industrial foundation. In the process, we systematized children's education to increase future consumption demand,

Seven years have passed since the world's only horse industry promotion law was enacted and implemented, but the most important agricultural law revision in the passenger horse sector has not been made. In order to install rural horse riding facilities, existing farmland must be converted into sports land, but excessive charges for farmland conversion are a big burden. In order to improve the reality that many rural horse riding facilities are currently operating without permission and without permission, it must be resolved during the second horse industry plan. Only then will the demand for the production of horseback riding be activated, and it can lead to the generation of profits for professional horse producers. If the producer association is activated,

Historically, the year of martial arts is a year when eventful events are completed and combined. It is called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is a auspicious year because it is the year when soil and soil meet and mix with big soil like Musan and liquor. I hope that the Year of the Golden Dog Martial Arts will be a year of hope and development for everyone related to the horse industry. 2018 is also the year when the second five-year plan for the horse industry begins. The message from the Korea Horse Manufacturers Association to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is that if the first horse industry plan was quantitative growth, the second horse industry plan is hoped to develop in the direction of qualitative growth.

The government's opaque horse industry policy is shrinking the horse industry's economic outlook and foundation, and the impact of our funeral industry is significant, and the funeral industry businesses and workers are also worried about the future industry's prospects. In order to dispel the concerns of farmers and horse industry-related workers, continuous support for the horse industry promotion policy, which has already been firmly established as the government's agricultural policy, is more urgent than ever. In 2018, we look forward to realizing a more active horse industry promotion policy so that the domestic horse industry base and rural horse industry conditions can be improved and actual income growth can be achieved for horse industry workers.
