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.

Nine trainees of the regular curriculum operated by the Korean Horse Association, such as horse trainers, horse riding instructors, and rehabilitation horse riding instructors, were trained for a month at the national stall in Ahadfang, France. It was effective in killing two birds with one stone by inspiring trainees to learn and improving the quality of education. "2013 was the first year of the 'Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for Promotion of the Horse Industry' announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and it is expected that the implementation of the plan will accelerate as it marks its second year with the Year of the Horse," an official at the Korea Institute of Human Resources Development said. "We will continue to make every effort to strengthen our educational capabilities to create a foundation for the development of the horse industry by training professionals in the horse industry."

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced in September 2017 that the government has been losing trust in the government and disappointing farmers and horse industry workers to delay the establishment of the second five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is stipulated by the law, without providing clear reasons for policy changes. In the absence of the announcement of the second five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Korean Horse Association's Horse Industry Promotion Headquarters announced in September 2017 that it has divided the period into three stages every five years by 2030 to grow horse industry-related projects and set a budget of 3 billion won to create

In the fourth race of the Sunday race on January 12, the No. 4 "Dixibani" and the No. 6 "Clay Shot" ranked first and second in popularity in the race, but after a fierce preceding race from the beginning, they ranked sixth and ninth. The referee of the Horse Association judged that it was an "unnecessary preceding competition" after deliberating on the situation and imposed suspensions on Kim Hye-sun and Kim Tae-hoon on the 4th and 2nd, respectively. The judges of the Horse Association said that as a result of a comprehensive analysis of the race screen and the statements of the athletes, the results of the race were not good due to the exhaustion of the physical strength of the two horses from the start to the middle of the race while Kim Hye-sun and Kim Tae-hoon competed with each other for good deeds, and that Kim Hye-sun was disposed of on the 4th and Kim Tae-hoon was disposed of on the 2nd, considering that he was a trainee who lacked experience.

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.

Last year, Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye, and the election of President Moon Jae In led to a major crisis that will remain in our constitutional history. In addition, North Korea's successive nuclear tests and the launch of missiles such as ICBMs led to international security crises, including the U.S. and Japan, and economic crises caused by China's retaliation against THAAD, and it was a series of national challenges that could not be relieved internally and externally. Perhaps because of such domestic and international circumstances, the comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is the central plan of the Korean horse industry, has not yet been finalized for various reasons,

Horses start walking and running as soon as they are born, but humans do not exercise their exact motor functions until well over 10 years later. If you compare the horse industry promotion method to people, you will be just 8 years old when you enter elementary school next year. I think the current difficulty is a growing pain for the horse industry to grow and develop further. I hope that the people who wisely overcome the crisis will show interest and affection for the horse industry, the horse industry will take a powerful leap like horses in the new year, and that people with disabilities or difficulties in emotion and behavior will stand at the center of the horse industry to revitalize the rural economy and improve the quality of life for the people.

Based on these achievements, the Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association was established in 2013, and on December 22, 2017, the Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association received approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to establish a corporation. The Korea Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association will unite related organizations, including related academic and educational organizations, rehabilitation horseback riding instructors and therapists, and various experts and workers in the horse industry, and will work together to develop and globalize Korea's rehabilitation horseback riding. In 2021, experts from various fields related to the horse industry are working together to attract the World Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Conference to Korea.

In addition, rehabilitation horseback riding for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was found to be very effective in alleviating ADHD symptoms. It was easy to see the increase in the expression of opinions of ADHD children, active and pleasant, and social behaviors on the spot, and there was a judgment that rehabilitation horseback riding could be a new therapeutic method that could be combined with existing treatments in the treatment of ADHD. These achievements have been scientifically verified by contributing to international academic journals. Other researchers in Korea are also applying the rehabilitation horse riding program to various disorders such as ADHD, Internet game use disorder, and intellectual disability, and publishing positive research results.

The horseracing union held a strike on the day of the horse racing, demanding a change in wages and employment forms, but there was no major confusion in the horse racing business. The Korean Horse Racing Association's horse racing ticket sales union went on strike after collective negotiations with the horse racing society broke down, and on the 22nd, about 300 ticket sales workers refused to go to work. As more than 50% of the ticket salesmen refused to go to work at some out-of-the-box stores, free admission was implemented at Seoul Horse Racing Park and each out-of-the-box stores to avoid confusion, and all horse racing staff were encouraged to wait at the ticket window and use self-selling machines on race broadcasts. Horse racing fans who visited horse racing parks and out-of-the-box branches ahead of the end of the year and the closure of Seoul Horse Racing Park were found to have performed normally without much fuss, despite a slight increase from the previous week.

There was a big event that will go down in history, and when the incident became public, I was embarrassed to think about how Korea would be seen on the world stage, but I am proud to think about all of our people who have overcome it wisely. What is unfortunate, however, is that despite the fact that it has been a year of passing by, which is newly writing history, the horse industry is still difficult in the aftermath of the incident. This is because the thorny path of the horse industry, which began when a horse was at the center of last year's historical event, seems to have continued this year. It is very sad to think about disabled children who sit on horses and smile happily on them that I met at the scene of rehabilitation riding.

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.

Meanwhile, many people had to leave the racetrack on their own or due to industrial accidents or diseases. There was no way to improve the system. Competition was the priority. Whether it is voluntary or not, competition should stop. It is human nature that a good race horse can come out only when people are peaceful, safe and happy. Fortunately, the "plan to improve the employment structure of horse managers" signed last year by the participation of the two major labor unions, horse racing society, Euljiro committee, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs decided to hold a working-level committee for horse racing and discuss pending issues related to horse racing plans and practical affairs. It is hoped that communication between horse racing and horse racing-related organizations

Over the past 100 years, the Seoul Racecourse has improved the working conditions that senior managers and senior workers have been in poor condition one by one. It is not that they will not work and will do less, but that they should work while observing laws, regulations, and systems. It is said that employment, survival rights, and safety from industrial accidents of horse racing manager workers should be premised, and the Pukyong Racing Authority should also come within the boundaries. Anyway, another year has begun. This year, I hope the monster of "horse racing innovation" will be calmed down. No, the innovation that the horse racing society has unilaterally created should be completely blanked, and a new innovation plan that presupposes agony

While the horse industry is rapidly emerging as a new growth engine for the rural economy and national economy, which have become difficult in the year of the horse race, the horse industry is concerned as another red flag comes into the horse race industry, which will be the cornerstone of fostering the horse industry.Opposition parties are again raising their voices against the plan to expand the branch to improve customer service, while civic groups are protesting the plan. In October last year, the organization planned to expand the Yongsan branch of the organization at 40-590 Han River-ro 3-ga to 16-48 Han River-ro 3-ga. However, although the building was completed at a huge cost, the opening date has been postponed as the public opinion of some civic groups and politicians deteriorated.

In particular, I hope that the government, horse racing society and local governments can create a cooperative system to improve domestic racing horse capabilities to advance the horse racing industry. In addition, given the lack of sufficient legal and budgetary support, I hope that the Government and the National Assembly will join forces to seek the integration of the Horse Association Act and the Horse Industry Promotion Act from a new perspective. By doing so, we need to remove obstacles that are holding back the development of the horse industry and wisely embrace areas that are at odds with other laws. To all the family members of the horse industry who are sweating for the development of the horse industry across the country,

However, as this has drifted amid the indifference of related organizations, I hope that the inauguration of the new horse society will be an opportunity to open a new horizon for the horse industry. In 2017, the Korean Society of Animal Resources and Science changed its name to the Korean Society of Animal Science and is becoming an active participant in the development of livestock in Korea. In line with the policy of expanding the horse industry special zone, which is to be additionally designated in 2018, the Horse Industry Research Association also intends to make an academic contribution to the development of the sound horse industry through mutual cooperation and convergence.
