Emphasizing that the only way to apologize and ask for forgiveness is to be reborn, he said he wants to make the day of his inauguration be remembered as "the starting date of a new history that promises and declares to the people that it is a place to be reborn as a horse society of the people." Above all, he emphasized that he would love and trust the Korean horse society organization indefinitely, and said, "We can be loved enough depending on how we do it."The two tasks of the Korean Horse Association, which Chairman Kim Nak-soon revealed, were the restoration of public trust and the handling of difficulties in the declining of the horse racing industry.

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.

Although the goal of integrated racing and entering Part II of Korean racing has been achieved, there is still insufficient support for the improvement of racehorses and the stable establishment of the production base, so I am concerned that the racehorses production industry, which is the basis of horse racing, will become an unstable house of thought.Looking at the unprecedented situation, such as the postponement of the CSAT due to last year's Pohang earthquake, the horse industry has not had a strong production base and is designed to withstand the thought that it could collapse in a moment.

We look back on Korea's horse industry policy once again, and we hope that the completion of Part II and the era of natural Part I will come with the production of domestic horses that surpasses foreign horses thanks to the establishment of policies and investment that can develop co-prosperity. We sincerely thank the horse racing fans who always give us a lot of love for domestic horse racing, and we will do our best to produce faster and stronger horse racing horses through improvements such as replacing excellent seed horses thanks to your interest and support.

Seven years have passed since the world's only horse industry promotion law was enacted and implemented, but the most important farmland law revision in the riding sector has not been made. In order to install rural horse riding facilities, existing farmland must be converted into sports land, but excessive farmland conversion charges 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.

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,

Rehabilitation horseback riding is a beautiful activity that people and horses create together. Founded in 1969, an American rehabilitation horse riding association has 881 centers that specialize in rehabilitation horse riding and 4,800 rehabilitation horse leaders provide rehabilitation horse riding programs to 66,000 participants. This is possible because there are 62,000 volunteers, thousands of donors, and 7,800 rehabilitation horse riding horses. The centers are established and operated by donations, and many volunteers participate directly and indirectly from feeding to running the centers.

Yongsan-gu is being reprimanded for being consistent with administration biased against political logic, as Yongsan-gu is actively pressuring the new Yongsan branch, which is about a month away from its opening date, by sending a request for relocation outside Seoul and delivering resident signatures to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the KRA Korean Horse Association. Yongsan-gu District (District Mayor Jang Sung-hyun) in Seoul has been conducting a large-scale "100,000 signature campaign to urge the relocation of Yongsan street tickets to the outskirts of Seoul" at 16 community centers since late July, and delivered a "request for the relocation of Yongsan street tickets to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the KRA on the 20th.

I participated in the rehabilitation horse riding program with a light heart that allows children with brain lesions to have a different experience as an event, but the rehabilitation effect for children with disabilities was more than expected. Children with brain lesions participating in the rehabilitation horse riding program through the rehabilitation medicine department not only enjoy participating and gaining confidence every hour,

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,

It also pointed out that some district officials and district councilors are engrossed in opposition to the opposition of ignoring the local community, swept away by political logic. In fact, residents who oppose the relocation are suspected of hatching and brainstorming at the instigation of certain political forces.

Seoul Racecourse has improved the working conditions that senior managers and senior workers have been in poor condition over the past 100 years. It's not that I'm not going to work or do less, but that I should work while keeping laws, regulations, and systems. It means that the employment of horse managers, the right to survive, and safety from industrial accidents should be premised, and the Pukyong Racecourse 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.

The history of Seoul and Pukyong is different, and the working experience and average age of horse racing workers are not discussed at all, and the media reported the logic of horse racing that Seoul is high cost,

And 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, considering the reality that laws and budgets are still not fully supported. Through this, we need to remove obstacles that are holding back the development of the horse industry and wisely contain areas that conflict with other laws.

If the investment industry and investment amount meet the standards prescribed by Presidential Decree, the corporate tax and income tax reduction rate is 100% for the first three years and 70% for the next two years. The rate of reduction and exemption of acquisition tax and property tax and the period of reduction were allowed by local governments to be set by ordinance. "The Horse Industry Promotion Act allows horse operators with special zones to reduce corporate tax or income tax under the Restriction of Special Taxation Act to support horse industries within the horse industry special zone, but no specific enforcement regulations have been prepared yet. Since the government is in the process of announcing a plan to designate one special zone within this year and conducting a pilot operation, the revision of the Restriction of Special Taxation Act cannot be delayed in order to implement the tax reduction and exemption system at the same time as the designation of the special zone," lawmaker Kim said.
