Mal Industry Journal and Horse Racing Culture Newspaper have, amid difficult circumstances, provided in-depth coverage encompassing the entire horse industry, as well as criticism and alternatives regarding the horse industry and Korean horse racing, and have contributed to shaping public opinion for the establishment of sound policies and to creating new value for our horse industry and horse racing industry, reaching from horse racing stakeholders and the media to horse racing fans.

Lastly, I hope that news from the producing farms can be communicated through racing media. The Halla Ma Production Association will also make efforts to inform the public through racing media about the circumstances and activities of the association and the producing farmers. 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of Racing Media, and it is also the inaugural year when Hallama, the passenger horse brand of the Hallama Breeders’ Association, will launch as a purebred horse. We hope that at the 20th anniversary event of Racing Media in 2018,

Rehabilitation horseback riding needs to be promoted, but there are limitations, which is regrettable. Also, in my view, it is appropriate to introduce health insurance for therapeutic riding. Physical therapy is allowed, and it makes no sense that horseback riding rehabilitation through verbal instruction is not covered by health insurance. While preparing my master’s thesis, I learned for the first time that Italy has health insurance, but it is unfortunate that it is not yet available under our circumstances.

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.

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,

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,

That much, the 19th-jo horses were strong and tough. It was bad because of those things, but it got its worst when the “Ferdidofomeroi” incident broke out.At the time, he was confident because he had achieved good results riding “Ferdidofomeroi” and had also won a horse racing competition. Among the horses of Article 19, there were no horses that had never ridden. I also knew well the horses’ habits. I was clearly aware that, since I was the frontrunner and even the 19th group leader had introduced “Ottukottuki” as the frontrunner and the mainstay to be chosen first, they would naturally stir up a battle for the front. Because there had been two occasions when one or two horses turned away and won without any prior advantage, I thought there was no need to suffer any loss when battling “Otuk Otuk” in a power struggle.

Chairman Lee Yang-ho said that while it is a great personal honor to assume the presidency, despite various efforts, the public’s perception and image of the Korea Racing Authority are not entirely positive, and he expressed his desire to make the Korea Racing Authority a company loved by the people.In response to a question about how to incorporate his 30 years of public service and experience working to promote agriculture into his management principles, he stated the principle of “providing work centered on the roles of the senior, current, and junior officials” during his tenure as head of the Rural Development Administration. It also meant, “It signifies the importance of listening to the voices of customers and the field, addressing their difficulties, and turning them into policy,” with the intention of “carrying out customer- and field-centered work to hear the opinions of customers and the field and resolve their difficulties before making them policy.”

If I go to do good deeds, I go; if “Ottukottuki” decides to go out, I tried to give it to it. I planned to follow and check it out, wearing down Otuk Otuk-i’s power, and save my strength to beat Mainstay. But absurdly, after passing the third corner, I had no strength. People say it’s because they don’t go to do good deeds after seeing this, but if you watch the video of the race, you can understand everything.“Perdidoformoroi” is not a phrase that must go to good deeds and win.In fact, it wasn’t easy to decide. There were many comments like, “You have a family in Busan, you ride horses well there and make a lot of money, so why go all the way to Seoul and suffer?”

Therefore, “Without customers, there are no companies, so we must always view everything anew with sincerity from the customer’s perspective,” he said, adding that this would be adopted as the Korea Racing Authority’s management policy.He introduced his career, which began in 1983 as a public official, describing his experience working in planning departments such as the Planning and Budget Officer, Director of the Agricultural Policy Bureau, and Director of the Planning Office, where he was responsible for developing mid- to long-term plans. He also shared an anecdote about having formulated a comprehensive plan for rural and fishing village development between 1989 and 1990.

Some went in psychoanalytically and looked at my painting and said, "Libido." After hearing that interpretation, I found it interesting when people asked me why I'm drawing horses later, and they answered me like that. In fact, I was thinking about how to put natural energy into the indoor space and relieve the tension caused by it. You don't deserve to ride a horse called Jeong Yu. It is questionable whether you will feel the mental vitality of a horse even if you ride a horse. Since I've been riding a lot, I think I can feel the fun of riding a horse and know what riding a horse is, but I don't think I'll be impressed and grateful by the horse.

Previously, it was just a cafe, but the walls were opened and widened for a little to display the paintings. I thought that would be more colorful. I simply drew it because I liked the animal, but there are people who attach interpretations to it. I just drew it because I wanted to attract 'wild' and 'the power of nature'. There are many paintings of horses running in the field. It is the same for ancient books and foreign paintings. In particular, oriental painting draws many horses running in the field. However, it was not fun to draw horses running in the same field. Horses are animals that like to run in the field and run well, but there was no tension and nothing much when they were flattened on the painting in one dimension.

We should be able to maintain a minimum life through work activities, but we try to forget about pure literature and not think about it. The Shin Kyung-sook writer scandal is also an extension of this problem. It was not a completely pure literature nor a public one, but it was urgent and caused a division. And few writers are now popular in books. Like in the old days. "A Horse Outside the Door" depicts a horse coming from outside the door facing a woman. Lee Je-ha said the work could contain a message of returning to nature, and it was intended to express a strange feeling when heterogeneous beings face each other due to the appearance of both female and male horses.

Korea's culture is a big problem. People engaged in the cultural sector should be able to live by doing cultural work, but that is not possible. Painters live a normal life by drawing and selling. However, in a transitional capital society, it is difficult. Few artists sell paintings in reality. Popular artists, famous senior artists, and the works of the deceased are sold, but those of young artists are not. Culture is generally difficult. The Moon Jae In government seems to be paying attention to culture, but it still lacks a lot. Even looking at the data on the income level of cultural workers posted on the Internet, the annual income is less than 10 million won.

That's why I started literature. Originally, I wrote poetry in middle school. At that time, there was a magazine called 'academy', and it was the only magazine during the Korean War. Poets were published through 'academy', and they were elected in one or two places. Hwang Dong-gyu and Ma Jong-ki, who are poets, are alumni who were active through 'academy'. As I did this and that for my life, novels became my main focus. But now, people don't read novels, so I don't write them well. People don't read books, so they don't sell and the publishing industry is in recession. When I was young, I used to write with passion and willpower, but the problem is that books are not sold, so they are not helpful to life at all.

Novel manuscript fees are poor, so manuscript fees alone cannot make a living. For such reasons, not only me but also many writers have side jobs, such as attending school to give lectures or serving as an editor of a publishing company. I wrote novels, did this and that, and worked in the movie industry. As I loved movies so much, I started collecting videos, but as it became known, a media company asked me for a "movie column." I had to write a story about what I saw in the movie, but it was much easier than writing a novel. After writing a novel like that, I wrote a movie column for 2-3 years.

October, when autumn leaves start to turn red, is the most emotional time of the year. A collection of poems can be found on the empty side behind the colorful fall scenery. In October, the month of culture, we prepared a project to listen to stories of artists dealing with culture and art works based on horses. First of all, we met Lee Je-ha, a veteran novelist, poet, painter and singer. Unlike other works, he often uses horses, but he uses static words rather than words. I tried to shed new light on the words that he viewed through his creative activities in all areas, including literature and art.
