Since we met each other, I have met horses. One of my high school classmates, a friend whose wife's family runs a racehorse production ranch on Jeju Island, told me that they were recruiting horses at Let's Run Park Pukyong one day. The friend said, "You are qualified, so apply for it," so we met each other without knowing what it is. That's how the relationship began, and in February this year, I majored in horse genetics in graduate school and earned my master's degree. I run a Jemagi Technology Institute in Changwon, and I am building a tentatively named Marand racehorse recreation facility, a horse riding course, and a tourist farm in Ibanseong-myeon, Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, with the goal of completing it next spring. Horses should be my everything. I've been ripped off a lot for leaving the existing business to my wife

Under the current Korean horse racing system, the two horses have little to do with each other. The two horses cannot be trained at the same time. Now, the two horses are being trained by the assistant or the trainer, but I believe that the two horses should be trained at their ranch or training center in the future, just like in foreign countries.Additionally, I believe that the master must understand the characteristics of his horse so that he can choose the right assistant and trainer. For instance, consider entrusting the assistant teacher, who prefers good deeds and precocious horses, with Mansukhyeong and bottom-drawing horses. Even a famous horse will be treated as a foul horse. The difference in status between the master and the trainer is, in short, the difference between A and B, since the master must entrust the trainer with the training of the horse.

From the beginning of the opening of Let's Run Park in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province, I started working as a horse-related person and formed a connection with horses. I knew that the horse-related qualification system would be implemented by the Horse Industry Promotion Act, so I tried from the first inning, but I failed each time. Actually, I was going to give up the test this time. At the end, I was embarrassed that I failed every time, and the horse racing officials asked me why I was taking the trainer test. They said that even though it was a written test, it was never allowed in practical practice. However, Teacher Kwon Seung-joo, who studied with me, asked me why I should give up when I was eligible for the second practical test this time, so I applied for it on the last day of application and took the test.

It helps a lot emotionally, too. I want people to heal with horses and gain consideration for life and a lot of enlightenment in the activities with horses. To do that, I want to strive for the welfare of horses. I want to study more fields, experience and experience more in practice, and continue to develop myself, rather than being stopped. I want to become a leader who has a consistent good influence in the horse industry. To this end, I am preparing to transfer to Jeju National University's physical education field. I am also thinking of going to graduate school. I want to work in teaching and research. Just as I am familiar with the use and precautions of a product when I buy a product, I hope that the days will come when Koreans will be familiar with the habits and behaviors of horses and approach them more friendly and safe.

The HKJC explained the situation in Hong Kong that it is strengthening the competitiveness of the legal market while managing the illegal market not to encroach on the legal market through government-wide crackdown efforts. Hong Kong's soccer betting, which raised sales by more than 56 percent by lowering the margin rate from 17.9 percent to 15.7 percent, and horse racing and sports betting, which developed various types of betting, were examples of strengthening competitiveness, and the police, the Ministry of Home Affairs, as well as the media, NGOs, financial institutions and portal site operators are making all-out efforts to crack down on illegal betting. Meanwhile, it introduced cases in which illegal organizations that have established a strong online user environment are operating servers overseas targeting Korea, warning that if Korea fails to lay the foundation for systematic management of the illegal gambling problem, it could reach an untouchable point.

As soon as he took the reins, he was surprised at what he was surprised by and was taken to a hospital after being hit in the abdomen by the horse's back foot while holding the lead strap. The diagnosis revealed that his pancreas was damaged. Fortunately, he did not need surgery. Instead, he underwent medication for a month and was hospitalized. After the accident, people around him reportedly felt puzzled to see me ask how the horse was doing. After the incident, he became more concerned about his safety. He looks back on dangerous behaviors he unconsciously performed, and emphasizes the importance of safety to his juniors every time. At that time, the horseriding rink covered all expenses incurred at the hospital. I would like to express my gratitude to the chairman, representative,

Lastly, I am proud of the excellent lecture by Professor Dong-hoon Lee, who has been a solid theory in the course of daily sports leaders. Our school has warm blood necessary for preparing for certification practice, an indoor racetrack where you can prepare without a hitch, and rehabilitation horse riding where you can exercise at any time. Students experience and conduct the positions of volunteers, leaders, and leaders in rehabilitation horseback riding, while also teaching assistant instructors for general experience horse riding. Another pride is the environment in which you can sharpen your practical skills and prepare for certification before going out to society. This happened when I went to the horse riding course during the summer vacation of the first year. There was a case where I was seriously injured due to my carelessness.

As a result, the International Symposium to Prevent the Spread of Illegal Gambling, which will be held for the first time in Korea at a timely time, will be a meaningful time, and we hope that this symposium, in which a large number of domestic and foreign experts participated, will serve as a venue for practical discussions on the management of illegal gambling in Korea. We will listen to the good opinions of experts presented through the international symposium and try to reflect them in the legislature," he said, announcing that as the illegal gambling industry flourishes, funds that will be returned to society through the HKJC are being used as funds for criminal organizations. The reasons for the popularity of the illegal market include high refund rates, rebates, and credit betting, competitiveness that is far from the institutional gambling industry, securing technology levels to avoid crackdowns, and aggressive marketing.

Critics say that when the law on fostering and supporting the cruise industry, which allowed cruise ships on board, was reviewed by the National Assembly, it promised to strictly restrict access to Koreans, but reversed its stance in just three months after the law passed the National Assembly in February. There has already been a discord among government ministries over coordination. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which is in charge of approval rights, clarified that it has never considered allowing Koreans to use casinos on board. This is because the current law prohibits allowing casinos on board by Koreans. As the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries seeks to allow casinos on cruise ships to be used by Koreans, it is expected to have a significant impact on the legal enforcement industry in Korea.

First, Professor Park Geum-ran, dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is engaged in various activities related to rehabilitation riding. While serving as an academic director at the Korean Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association, he will give lectures on creative theories and practical skills necessary for classes through overseas training related to rehabilitation horseback riding. Professor Choo Ho-geun is currently serving as a judge in the horseback riding world. He is still playing as a player. He teaches us the general elements related to horseback riding in class and allows us to experience it. Above all, he is a warm mentor. Professor Seung-joo Kwon is currently an assistant teacher at Let's Run Park Pukyong, and he gives us new news and information through lectures, so he gives us the lectures we want to continue listening to even after graduation.

Now that I am about to graduate, I feel a little awkward that I do not have a tight schedule and plan like I did when I was in school. I think I need constant self-development and study in the future. If I had special know-how in preparing for qualifications, I prepared to become familiar with the test and test site by preparing for writing and practical skills for all certificates related to horses. In addition, I went to the training center recommended by the professors every vacation and thought that I was the owner of the horse riding center by increasing my practical experience. It seems that I had more fun and memorable learning because I studied horse-related laws and horse health management. Above all, I would like to thank Professor Chu Ho-geun for his experience, Professor Geum-ran Park, Jeong-soo Ryu, and Seung-joo Kwon for their professional theories and experiences.

Before graduating from high school, I decided to get a job and attended an editorial design course for six months. After graduating from high school, I worked as an advertising company and freelancer for nearly two years in Seoul and Jeju Island. I wanted to know about horses that I first encountered in Jeju. So, I recklessly joined the racehorse production team at Sung Isidol Ranch and worked for about two months. Working at Jeju Airport, where working conditions were good, whenever I was off, I went to the horse rink to help me work and rode a horse to ride a rehabilitation horse, and I thought I wanted to study horses and rehabilitation horses properly. With the introduction of the horse-riding instructor I knew at the time, I met Professor Kwon Seung-joo. During the interview,

Minister Yoo Ki-joon stressed, "Since each cruise tourist spends about 1,000 dollars, it has the same added value as handling 10 containers." If 3 million people use the casino, it will generate economic inducement effect of more than 3 trillion won (3 billion U.S. dollars) annually. Moreover, if Koreans are allowed to enter the casino on board, the economic effect is estimated to exceed 4 trillion won (4 billion dollars). There are also strong voices of criticism over the ministry's push to use casinos on board by Koreans. The ministry has selected the development of cruise and marina industries as a core task of the ministry since 2013, and has been particularly obsessed with open casinos on board. However, it was buried under the surface of the Ferry Sewol last year, when the first anniversary of the Ferry Sewol passed a Cabinet meeting, along with the lifting decision and the enforcement ordinance of the Special Sewol Act, it was quickly brought up again.

The plan calls for allowing Koreans to use casinos on board on national cruise ships that will be launched in the first half of next year. The National Assembly is also taking an active stance in revising related laws. As Koreans' push to use casinos on board has been made public, opinions are mounting against or against the plan. According to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, the number of cruise passengers in Korea reached 1.05 million last year. Although there are no national cruises in Korea, the number of passengers is exploding. For this reason, large domestic shipping companies are drooling over national cruises. Moreover, if Koreans are allowed to enter on-board casinos, they will be able to board and use casinos in Incheon, Busan, and Jeju, which will be the home port of the cruise, so accessibility will be very good. Eventually, the national cruise business is expected to become a 'goose that lays golden eggs'.

We will also make efforts to reduce recidivism in connection with the gambling addiction healing center," said Heo Tae-kyun, a psychology professor at Korea University. "In order to prevent the spread of illegal gambling, we need to change our perception. The existing perception is that illegality and legality are viewed as a competitive structure, but it is necessary to recognize that illegality must be prevented unconditionally. "In order to prevent the inflow of illegal gambling from participants, other alternatives must be prepared and the competitiveness of the legal gambling industry must be enhanced," he said. "In Japan, illegal gambling is called gambling and the legal gambling industry is called Gamble," he said. "The legal gambling industry must be developed into healthy leisure, and illegal gambling must be prevented unconditionally regardless of the profits flowing into the legal gambling industry."

The reason I asked for an interview with the Horseback Industry Journal is that it is a media company that understands the situation in the horseback riding industry more than other media companies. I don't think I will do any more interviews at the athletes' council. The perception that horse riding is an aristocratic sport has declined a lot, but it is a pity that horse riding is considered bad and sold due to the Choi Soon-sil incident. Not only horseback riding but also all sports and the sports industry itself are on the back foot. It is hoped that not only young athletes who ride horses but also many others will have more opportunities to experience horseback riding. Woo Jung-ho, president of the National Federation of Horseback Riding Athletes, asked for an interview with the newspaper, pointing out that support is needed for athletes' protection and training,

Whatever the group, Samsung and Hanwha, paid 1.5 billion won, 1.6 billion won a year, applied for the association, or did, it helped the players. Horseback riding is an event without government support, so you can't compete without a company sponsoring it, and it's hard to participate in the Olympics.Until now, the chairman's office has been handled by the Korea Racing Authority, Hanwha, and Samsung. Because the company continued to support the money there, the association was able to run and host matches. You might say that 1.5 billion won is small, but if you pay for it every year, the company should be considerable. Although the Korea Racing Authority is said to be a company related to horses, the company's former chairman liked horseback riding, and applied. It would not be easy for Samsung and Hanwha to take over the chairman's office of the Horse Racing Authority in another company that has nothing to do with horses. We are athletes.

Most athletes start exercising with the ambition of winning medals in the Olympics and Asian Games. I don't think I'll just go to college while riding. Students who go to college and compete in the next Asian Games will participate in school classes and exercise with the dream of trying out for the next Asian Games. In preparation for the Olympics, he applied from various fields, starting with the off-season training. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of horseback riding, we were able to participate in the Olympics and Asian Games and win a medal. After the Olympics, we can go out and guide other athletes and deliver their know-how, which is huge. All horseback riders know that Samsung has developed a lot in horseback riding. No matter how much sports you wear only panties and hold shoes, development is difficult without sponsors.

How good is it for us to ask the equestrian for an apology from the president? And I fully understand the news conference about the fact that they suffered damage due to Choi Soon-sil. Isn't it unfair from their point of view that executive director Park Won-oh came down and said something while the referee was watching? I hope that one person, Jeong Yu-ra, will not harm Amon's special athletes. Most of the students exercise since they were young and still take time out of school. All special athletes don't do it like Jeong Yu-ra. I have a friend who goes to college among the students I teach now. I go to Hanyang University, but I can't come today. Tomorrow, he takes classes, and he comes to exercise after 3 p.m. He takes classes, and he comes to exercise even if it's late in the afternoon. Most of them are like that. Few athletes quit school.

This is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chairman of the Horse Racing Association. The players are grateful for the fact that a large company called Samsung supports them as the chairman of the Horse Racing Association. Horse racing is an unpopular sport, but it has invested in and contributed to the development of Korean horse racing. If Samsung steps down from its chairman's position right now, how will the horse racing association operate right away and how will next year's competition be held? It is nonsense to just demand Samsung's resignation without any countermeasure. He did not think about our horse-riding athletes and horse-riding people. What they said at the press conference was not all of us horse-riding people, but as victims. They are not integrating the opinions of all horse-riding people.

Finally, he stressed, "The important thing is my mindset of how well I know horses and how to treat them sincerely.
