Furthermore, the full-fledged production history of thoroughbred in Korea is less than 30 years old, so it has many challenges such as infrastructure policy, system improvement, and racehorse improvement. Although it is developing with constant efforts, frequent policy changes can cause great confusion in production, so long-term horse racing policies based on the production industry are urgently required.In the horse auction market of more than 20 years, the biggest crisis for racehorse production farmers has recently faced

It is intended to revive the spirit that participation in horse racing betting is for donations. When categorizing the types of social contribution projects, there are three stages: one stage where donations are limited, two stages where volunteering is made along with donations, and three stages: donation and volunteer participation and social value creation. Our Let's Run Foundation is currently in the process of transitioning to the third stage. Based on the Korean Horse Association and related organizations, the Let's Run Foundation will continue its active social contribution program using horses and through talent donation by horse officials. A "better tomorrow with horses" is never a dream. The Let's Run Foundation thinks that a world where words make all people happy is tomorrow. Personally, I think I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work as the secretary-general.

While pursuing the four strategic goals, it is transforming into a social contribution company that creates a better world as a citizen of a company that forms a country and society by breaking away from the business of giving benefits. It also launched a representative center for social contribution using the core materials of the company called horses. Here, there are horse riding healing centers and pro bono centers. Another important thing is that it has started to solve youth problems that reflect the situation of the times. There were job creation for 140 people as a youth overseas job search project, and 17 "Let's Run Dream Centers" were opened through collaboration with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and local governments, winning the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award for out-of-school youth programs.

Above all, for the horse industry to become a new growth engine and promising business for the rural economy, revitalizing the horse racing industry is a key task. To put it simply, the core of the horse industry is horse racing. Industrial growth and financing through horse racing are the driving forces behind the development of the horse industry, and if its essence is shaken, the horse industry loses its roots. We must all keep in mind that the identity of horse racing must be established in order to cope with the internal and external crises of Korean horse racing,

The Let's Run Foundation is a social contribution foundation established to create a society that fulfills social responsibilities as a public company and lives together by raising funds from donations from the Korean Horse Association and donations from executives and employees. It was established on March 18, 2014. Previously, the Korean Horse Association carried out various donations and social return activities in the social contribution team, but the establishment was promoted due to the need for a more active and professional foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to contribute to revitalizing society as a whole, promoting people's welfare, and enhancing the status of the horse industry by supporting job creation projects, talent development projects, cultural prosperity projects, welfare promotion projects for the vulnerable, and horse industry image improvement projects.

In recent years, Korea's horse industry has been going through a period of upheaval, suffering from growth pain of change and innovation. With the implementation of the Horse Industry Promotion Act, expectations for growth and development of the Korean horse industry are gathering, but the reality is that it is still insufficient, such as not having practical effects in the field. In addition, the wounds of our horse racers have not healed amid public distrust and misunderstanding of the horse industry during the government manipulation last year.

Numerous changes and efforts are underway, including the implementation of horse racing, the change of the system, and the production and introduction of excellent racehorses. Despite these efforts by the horse racing community, various regulations are weakening the horse racing community's efforts to advance horse racing, and many of them are stagnating. There are also hopeful factors for diversified businesses and the advancement of Korean horse racing into the world away from the one-dimensional horse racing industry,

Above all, the stagnant horse racing industry needs to increase interest in horse racing and new inflows from various classes.

The reason for regulating the gambling industry started from the logic that it should be regulated because the gambling addiction rate is higher than that of foreign countries, but it is not reasonable to apply the gambling prevalence rate as a standard for setting the total sales volume by industry due to conflicting opinions among Korean scholars," Kim said in the conclusion. "The disproportionate policy to increase the prevalence rate in the total sales policy is asymmetric, so the excessive regulation should be eased in terms of equity." In this research paper, Kim advised that the horse industry should seek self-rescue measures as the gambling industry market is being reorganized into Toto and Lottery due to excessive regulations by the audit committee, and that legal gambling industries should seek a win-win plan toward a common goal of expanding the legal market against illegal markets.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Horse Industry Journal for its efforts in public relations and campaigns after it was selected as a news search affiliate of Naver and Daum Kakao in July 2017. Currently, Korean horse racing is at a crossroads of many crises and challenges due to sharp drops in sales, customer churn, and discriminatory perceptions in society that do not improve easily. The years-long recession and the decline in the horse racing industry are causing anxiety

This is because the hidden efforts of the executives and employees of the Horse Culture Newspaper and the Horse Industry Journal have been added to grow into such a promising industry. Horses have existed with humans. They became transportation, carried human loads, and were used for combat purposes. In the late Joseon Dynasty, they also served as information and communication services for Pavalma to deliver urgent official documents or news to regions far from the official residence. This is in line with the efforts of our Internet newspapers to deliver the world's news quickly.

Just as there is light and darkness in all societies, there are many farmers who have gone bankrupt or closed their businesses after jumping enthusiastically in the 30-year history of domestic racehorse production. There is an urgent need to introduce a subsidy system for the closure of racehorses production farms, which is equivalent to the FTA's closure subsidy, so that racehorses production farms facing limitations can seek new avenues to sustain their livelihoods, which is considered necessary not only for racehorses production farms but also

Despite the severe sluggish sales and internal problems in Let's Run Park Busan and Gyeongnam, I would like to deeply thank everyone who participated in the inland domestic horse auction held on May 29th, as the worst situation seems to have been avoided due to the generous interest of the assistant teachers, including the assistant teachers' association executives. Producers are very motivated and have high expectations for the new head of the Korean Horse Association's willingness to focus on fostering the horse industry.

Kim Jong-kook, head of the Korea Racing Authority, graduated from the University of Seoul Department of Public Administration, received a master's degree from the University of Seoul Business School, and is currently studying for a doctorate in sports and cultural welfare policy at the Seoul National University of Science and Technology. Thanks to Pinnoir, I'm on the podium again, and I feel happy and excited every time. I was very worried that I would catch up because I hit the middle of the race. It is true that he was turning six this year. The Dong-A Ilbo thought the race was over in an advantageous way in terms of experience because of bad weather, but I am very happy that he ran so well today. I plan to manage the horse as much as possible and think about the next race.

In Australian age, he has been riding a horse since the age of 16. In fact, I had never ridden a horse before, but my father was a jockey in Australia, so I was lucky to get a chance. I loved sports and had athleticism, so I was able to adapt quickly. Above all, riding a horse was so fun and happy. Then I became a job. Last season, I won the honor of winning the GI competition twice, including the South Australian Oaks. I think my hard work, thinking that it is the same whether it is a big competition or a small competition, resulted in good results. I don't feel nervous about big competitions or anything, and I try to keep calm. In Melbourne, I was in the top 10 of the multi-victory rankings.

During the 2014 Gyeonggi Province Governor's Cup, I dressed up in special clothes and won, so I dressed up in purple again this time to cheer for Pinot Noir. This horse is named after my favorite wine, and I should go for a cup of Pinot Noir with the people who cheered for me today. I didn't expect much, but I think I got a good result because I had consistently experienced racing. The Dong-A Ilbo had a short distance, so I was worried that I might be catching up. I saw that this race has strength because it is a long distance of 2,000M, and I even expected to win the championship. I am happy to win for two consecutive games, and I hope it has brought a little joy to the horse racing fans. Due to the slow initial flow, I decided that the jockey might be able to take the lead and displayed a moving development.
