Most welcome of all is the recognition that "the Korean Horse Association is neither an intelligence agency nor an institution that requires special security," in which he emphasized that "we will ensure that all possible areas of work are carried out in a transparent manner." He also called it "the shortcut to restoring trust to the public." Analysts say that the remarks were made in consideration of the deterioration of the image of the Korean Horse Association and the horse industry, which was triggered by former chairmen

In addition, environmental changes in Korea are expected to change demand for leisure culture due to the relative contraction of the horse racing industry due to intensifying competition among the gambling industries, the government and legislature's tightening regulations on the gambling industry, aging and eco-friendliness, and the desire to improve quality of life. The Korean Horse Association considers the current challenges of the Korean Horse Association, such as slowing horse racing sales, fostering the horse industry, horse racing-oriented profits, and the creation of a healthy leisure culture, as tasks to be solved for the sustainable development of the horse society.

He emphasized that the best path and the goal of the Korean Horse Association is to return to an institution that is faithful to its purpose, and that the path is the responsibility that the state gives us and the true form of the Korean Horse Association that the people expect. He also said that generating profits through horse racing is not an end, but a means. Instead of maximizing profit generation, publicity and share should now come first, and "our community will strive to become a healthy institution that expects the highest productivity in its best condition.

Chairman Nak-soon was first called as the 36th chairman of the Korean Racing Authority and said it was a personal honor. As with most inaugurations, referring to the weather, he said, "The cold start is more the public's view of the current Korean Racing Authority than the weather," and added, "I am very afraid of the people's strict order to be reborn with a great sense of responsibility."Although he was branded as the CEO of a state-run company that is subject to public distrust, criticism, and deep-rooted evils, he said he would not hold people accountable for any reason.

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 great period of turbulence that will remain in our constitutional history. In addition, North Korea's successive nuclear tests and missile launches led to not only domestic but also 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.

Horses start walking and running as soon as they are born, but people do not realize their accurate motor functions until well over 10 years have passed. If you compare the horse industry development method to a person, 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 rehabilitation horse industry will develop so that people who wisely overcome the crisis will show interest and affection for the horse industry,

Of course, there seems to be no great disagreement that most of the contents are what Korean horse racing should aim for, but many of the plans announced and promoted in thorough preparation have not been successful. Despite the fact that Korean horse racing has achieved the world's seventh-largest quantitative growth in horse racing sales over the past 90 years and paying 1.4 trillion won a year in national and local taxes, the negative image of horse racing as a leader in the gambling industry has not disappeared.

Based on these achievements, the Korea Rehabilitation Horse Association was established in 2013, and on December 22, 2017, the Korea Rehabilitation Horse Association received approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to establish a corporation.

When there was a big event that will go down in history, and the case became public, I was embarrassed to think about how our Republic of Korea would be seen on the world stage, but I am proud to think about all of our people who overcame it wisely. What is unfortunate, however, is that the horse industry is still difficult in the aftermath of the incident, even though it has been a year of passing by, writing new history. 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,

Kim Nak-soon set sail for the horseracing community. I hope that the Korean horseracing community will be able to clean up all the irregularities with the previous administration and create a system that develops together with all horse racing officials. Until now, the horseracing community has only followed internationalization and advancement, so the system came first rather than people. In the meantime, 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 voluntarily or not,

Innovation created by the horse racing society unilaterally should be completely blanked, and new innovation measures that presuppose concerns and empathy with the parties concerned should be created. Last year, they held a rally wearing struggle vests on the opening day of the game, and every day after that, in front of the main gate of the horse racing society, members shouted slogans such as "withdrawal of horse racing innovation," "guarantee of employment security," and "guarantee of survival rights." I want to stop shouting such slogans now.

It's not that I'm not going to work or doing less, but that I'm going to work while keeping the laws, regulations, and systems. It means that the employment of horse racing workers, the right to survive, and safety from industrial accidents should be premised, and the Pukyong Racing Authority should also come within the boundaries.

Unfortunately, the death of two horse racing managers in Pukyong led to public opinion that job insecurity, excessive competition systems, and poor working conditions of horse racing workers should be improved. In the process, the managers in Seoul drove them to the dichotomy logic that they worked less and took more salaries because employment was stable and competitiveness was low. The history of Seoul and Pukyong is different, and the average age of horse racing workers is not discussed at all,

The external environment surrounding the horse racing industry is rapidly changing. Although the early 2000s saw the peak of rapid growth, which was unaware of the recession, growth has continued to slow down since then, and difficulties have been compounded by the government's tightening of policy regulations and strong opposition from civic groups. The horse racing industry is also showing signs of shrinking to the point of crisis while other competitive industries are showing remarkable growth due to intensifying competition among speculative industries. The horse racing industry should provide large-scale financial resources to foster the horse industry amid difficulties in continuing strong external regulations, and consider restoring the soundness and reliability of horse racing, a social demand.

Efforts to revive the horse industry, which has yet to materialize the second five-year plan for industrial development, are more important than ever. In May 2015, the company held the inaugural general meeting of the Horse Industry National Forum, a private cooperation organization that encompasses all walks of life, saying that the industry should develop into the 6th industry in a balanced way along with the horse racing industry. However, as this has drifted amid the indifference of related organizations, I hope that the inauguration of the new horse society

The background of "Vision 2022" is that the horse racing industry has contributed to the development of livestock through horse racing and to the country and community by increasing tax revenues over the past 90 years, but the horse racing industry has focused on the growth of the horse racing business and has been relatively insufficient in responding to changes in the business environment and social demands. The horse racing industry and horse industry will continue to slow down in 2022 due to environmental changes in low growth due to slowing global and domestic economies.

The media and broadcast reports of bad events related to the horse industry played a part in this. It is time to think a lot about how to overcome this crisis in the horse industry. Horse racing is a youth horse racing, and horse racing is putting a lot of effort into finding a way out as 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.

On the other hand, there have been reports that Choi Soon-sil's daughter, Jeong Yu-ra, has been given preferential treatment for horse riding, causing the illegal admission to Ewha Womans University. However, the Horse Industry Promotion Act was enacted by the government in 2011 as an alternative to increasing income in rural areas at the expense of the agricultural sector to strengthen the export competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. It is part of the government's long-term agricultural policy, not a temporary one.
