Second, since racing in racing media refers to horse racing and horse racing, there is a concern that the reports and materials produced by racing media may focus solely on horse racing. In Korean society today, it is practically correct to think of horse racing first when we start talking about horses. However, the number of people who enjoy horse racing is limited, and concerns about its gambling nature are also being raised. Therefore, I ask that you introduce more articles about horseback riding,

As someone who raises horses and from the perspective of the president of the Producers Association, I would like to offer my congratulations as well as some words of advice.First, in racing media, “media” means mediation or relay. I hope it can serve as a channel that effectively communicates both sides’ perspectives among people and horses, people who know horses and people who do not, people who have ridden horses and people who have not, people who bet on horse racing and people who do not.

Perhaps, like Cho Yong-pil’s song, racing media was founded at the end of the 20th century precisely because the 21st century longed for it so desperately.It was not just a simple animal. It is a companion that has shared history with us humans. We have pioneered history and expanded the sites of history by running together with people. Even though the automobile came to replace horses, we humans could not erase the history of being with horses. I could not let the horse go into the back alley of history.

Originally, the Korea Racing Authority had proposed providing track riders with wages for one year in connection with their introduction, but it was decided after consultations among the Korea Racing Authority, the Trainers’ Association, and the Horse Groomers’ Union that the Trainers’ Association would become the employer and manage the operation.The Korea Racing Authority initially began in March discussions with related organizations on a second-phase horse racing innovation plan to create synergy with the first-phase plan. At that time, the Korea Racing Authority planned to, after gathering opinions and holding working-level consultations on the second-phase innovation task implementation plan by mid-April, to consult and coordinate the implementation plans for each task by the end of May, and then to finalize and apply the detailed implementation plans for each second-phase horse racing innovation task in July.

However, there are still many challenges for the domestic horse industry to make a leap forward and develop.The government is making various efforts to expand the base of the horse industry, including horse breeding, promoting leisure sports, training skilled professionals, and manufacturing related products. Alongside these government efforts, the interest and cooperation of industry, local governments, and related organizations are extremely important. If we put our heads together and work hard,

A prominent figure in the Korea Racing Authority said about this incident, “I heard that a foreign person, who had been working as a foreign handicap operator at the Korea Racing Authority until recently, was fired for making unreasonable demands during the process of pursuing promotion to Part II, and is now harboring resentment and speaking ill of Korean horse racing to people involved in the global racing industry.” He said, “A major obstacle has arisen for the promotion of Korea horse racing to a part government bureau,” adding, “The media outlet that published the article is also an organization with unclear credibility, and it appears that the son of the dismissed person is deeply involved in running the outlet. He said, “Especially because they are making their own argument, they did not accurately present the names of not only the article’s author but also the person who made the claim.”

The content and fields conveyed during that time are likely diverse and boundless. I am confident that these things, together, are fully serving as a compass in shaping Korea’s language culture and leading the language industry.It is said that our country's horse industry is currently facing various difficulties. The horse racing industry has not been loved by the public, and equestrianism is experiencing a spread of negative perceptions due to recent developments. I believe that racing media needs to play a role in wisely overcoming this reality.

In advanced horse industry countries, media related to the horse industry are deeply loved by the public. I expect that racing media will soon stand at the center of that role in our country as well.The Korean Horse Trainers Association also recognizes the importance of horse training and will continue to make every effort to integrate advanced training techniques used in riding horses and racehorses. To achieve this, we will build the Korean Horse Trainers Association into a continuously growing organization by sharing training-related information with racing media and receiving their advice.

Moon-young of Racing Media, who has faithfully delivered horse racing information and played a leading role in shaping the culture of the horse industry, as well as to all company officials.Starting with Horse Racing Culture Newspaper, and continuing through KRJ Broadcasting, Horse Industry Journal, and Perfect Today Horse Racing, it has steadily grown across all areas related to the horse industry, and its tireless efforts to deliver valuable and accurate information often feel admirable.

Although there have been many difficulties at the production farms due to the horse racing innovation plan, they are making efforts to keep pace accordingly by increasing investments and efforts in improving stallions and improving the quality of racehorses. However, considering the unfortunate reality that the number of Thoroughbred racehorses required at the two racecourses in Korea is limited and farmers’ income does not increase due to losses from surplus horses, multifaceted efforts are urgently needed to expand the horse racing industry in the long term,

Korea’s horse industry, and many changes and developments have continued, including the implementation of the Five-Year Plan for Horse Industry Development and the designation of horse industry special zones. The Second Five-Year Plan is also being implemented, but whether it has enough substance to match its outward expansion, and whether it has been moving forward blindly, is something that needs to be reflected on by now. If there are shortcomings, they should be sufficiently addressed, and the foundation should be strengthened so that,

He also promoted a nationwide horse-riding campaign, encouraged executives to ride horses, and gathered information on the status of riding centers across the country, thereby spreading a nationwide horse-riding boom. I hope the policy continues to be inherited and developed, but there is some regret that its form has since changed or been altered.The Korea Racing Authority should run a horseback riding healing center and a program that can provide therapeutic treatment through horses for people with disabilities.

Racing Authority’s Masadong Alumni Association, who has devoted himself to the horse industry and now wants to share that passion with younger colleagues and those around him, at the alumni association president’s office at the Korea Racing Authority.I joined the Korea Racing Authority in 1979 when it was still Ttukseom Racecourse. The 1988 Olympics brought us to Gwacheon, and as we entered the Gwacheon era, it became an opportunity for the Korea Racing Authority to make groundbreaking progress,

Jockey Cho Sung-gon shouted, “Showing that we are never stagnant and are always changing and improving is the way to repay the support of our fans.” We send our support for the records he will set this season.Meanwhile, a Korea Racing Authority official said, "An official letter has been received from the International Federation of Horse Racing." According to the official letter, it means that they agree to the promotion of Korea Racing to Part II starting January 2017. However, the 31 races for which the Korea Racing Authority has applied to the FIA include a proviso stating that they will review them through a presentation at the FIA meeting in March next year. In the end, it can be said to be conditional approval.

However, as the responsible department was transferred to the Seoul Regional Headquarters, progress in the consultations appeared to be delayed.The main points of the Korea Racing Authority’s second-phase horse racing innovation plan are “strengthening the professionalism of personnel,” “standardizing the horse racing system,” and “enhancing the competitiveness of the Seoul Racecourse.”This clearly appears in what the Korea Racing Authority presented in a work report to Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Lee Dong-pil on March 16. At the time, the Korea Racing Authority announced that, in 2015, it would smoothly carry out the stabilization of the first innovation task and the second innovation task to strengthen the global competitiveness of Korean horse racing.

Since then, projects such as social return initiatives for the local community have been carried out positively.I think that for the past ten years or so, the focus has been solely on finding ways to control horse racing, which has been stifling the development of the horse racing and horse industry as well as the government’s contribution to national tax revenue. I believe that only by lifting regulations and creating an environment where anyone can comfortably enjoy sports can the horse racing and horse industries develop,

He stated, “The key issue is whether it can be recognized for a few races, but it can be seen that Korea’s promotion to Part II in horse racing is almost decided.”The main content of the official letter sent by the International Federation of Horseracing Associations to the Korea Racing Authority is: “The International Federation of Horseracing Associations agrees with Korea’s request for promotion to Part II. However, regarding the Blue Book registration of the 31 races the Korea Racing Authority has applied for, it states that the decision will be made after reviewing each race. The Blue Book is the official publication of the International Commission on the Classification of Racecourses (ICSC), under the International Federation of Horse Racing. In June 14, 2014, at the ICSC meeting in London, UK, Korea’s entry into Part III was officially approved, and at that time, seven races including the Korean Derby were included in the Blue Book.

Proud Citizen Award from the Seoul Metropolitan Government. In 2009, he actually oversaw the launch of Korea’s first horse quarantine council, and by establishing a horse registration office, he made a major contribution to establishing a horse registration system not only for racehorses but also for riding horses and breeding horses. After retiring, he applied his professional expertise and served as director of the KRA Siheung Equestrian Healing Center, which opened in September 2012, until December 2015.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a wide range of diverse keywords such as artificial intelligence and big data are emerging, and we expect new value to be created and further developed. The horse industry has long been a field where data is extremely important. With new information and communication technologies and data integrated, it will become a pillar of the intelligent information society, and I have no doubt that Mal Industry Journal will stand at the center of that role.

On its 19th anniversary, it can be said that it has become a young company charging forward with boundless potential and hope. However, the social atmosphere toward our language industry does not seem to be entirely hopeful and optimistic. However, even in crisis, we cannot stop; we must pull ourselves together and prepare for a new beginning.Not all industries are smooth and future-oriented. When we think about the future of this difficult language industry, the current difficulties will rather serve as the foundation for even greater growth in the future.

On the 15th, Seo Young-kyo, a lawmaker from the New Politics Alliance for Democracy, introduced a bill to amend the Local Tax Act and the Local Finance Act, proposing that 80% of the leisure tax generated from horse racing and similar activities be allocated to the local government where the off-track betting facility is located, and 20% to the local government where the horse racing and related activities actually took place. The lawmakers who participated in the proposal were Kim Seung-nam, Moon Hee-sang, Seo Young-kyo, Woo Yoon-geun, Yoo Dae-woon, Im Nae-hyeon, Chung Cheong-rae, Joo Seung-yong, Chu Mi-ae, and Hong Jong-hak (all from the New Politics Alliance for Democracy).Rep. Seo’s amendment aims to adjust the current leisure tax payment rate, which is unfavorable to local governments where off-track betting centers are located.

True innovation begins with "communication" and "sharing." To address the current crisis in horse racing, this identity of horse racing must be firmly established, and we hope that Racing Media, as a traditional horse racing media outlet, will fulfill its role as a channel for communication and sharing within the horse racing industry.In this rapidly changing environment, the continued role of the Horse Industry Journal and the Horse Racing Culture Newspaper is essential for the domestic horse industry and horse racing industry to move in the right direction.

He also expressed dissatisfaction, saying, “While the Korea Racing Authority held a presentation on the research project on horse racing prize money, they did not reflect the project as it was and instead said they would seek appropriate alternatives suited to reality, but in the end, they want to apply the research results they themselves desire as is.” Attention is now focused on how the Korea Racing Authority will respond to the horse racing innovation plan.The biggest issue at the time was the move to implement integrated mountainous areas as part of Gyeongju City. However, related organizations argue that the move toward an integrated production system in Gyeongju will clearly lead to a decline in demand for domestic horses whose competitiveness has diminished, which in turn will cause production to shrink and lead to the collapse of producing farms.
