Believing that one cannot approach God unless one is free from poverty,Father McGlinchey led Jeju toward modernization by establishing a livestock industry base and social welfare facilities in Jeju, which had been struggling in poverty due to the Jeju 4·3 Incident and the Korean War.Meanwhile, in a condolence message sent by President Moon Jae In mourning Father McGrinchie’s passing, he said,He came to Jeju, devastated by the April 3rd Incident and the Korean War, as a ray of hope.

At first, I hesitated, holding onto the same prejudices as everyone else—whether a woman could speak so fluently, or whether, when excited and her tone rose, she might say things I wouldn’t want to hear. After receiving the proposal, I watched a broadcast video that seniors had done and tried saying the lines, and my heart started pounding. The feeling of “Ah, I want to try this at least once” stirred within me. I think I practiced hard from then on. Since there were hardly any cases in other countries either, it was truly a battle fought alone. Since I had seen the flow of Gyeongju over many years of working there, I was able to read it easily. However, the really difficult part was having to describe and explain the situation quickly and without pause.

Father McGlinchey’s funeral hall was set up until April 26 at the Korean branch of the Congregation of Saint Columban of Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, on the first floor of the church, and at Hallim Church in the Diocese of Jeju. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on April 27 at the Trinity Cathedral of the St. Isidore Community in Geumak-ri, Jeju, and on the afternoon of the 30th, a memorial Mass will be held by the Korean branch of the Congregation of Saint Columban of the Foreign Missions, after which he will be laid to rest at the cemetery of Sister Clara of the St. Isidore parish.

Jockey Park Tae-jong is still very shy during interviews, but back then he was so embarrassed that he would tap 100 times just to say a single word. During that process, we became very close, and later on, jockey Park Tae-jong was even joking around in front of the camera. The process of getting to know a person in their entirety through the medium of broadcasting taught and made me realize so much.I also remember the series that was carried out under the title “On-site Exploration.” What I always feel while working here is that fans, since they watch the races while betting money, seem inevitably filled with misunderstandings and distrust.

They introduced Yahu-di,the 2006 Japan Cup winner, as a broodmare, and also brought in Exton Park,the foal of Mr. Park,who set the record for the longest winning streak in Korean horse racing.Believing that “one cannot approach God unless one is free from poverty,” he was awarded the Order of Industrial Service Merit for Stone Pagodas of Korea in 1972, and in 1975 he received the Magsaysay Award in the International Understanding category. In recognition of his service for over 60 years, he was awarded the Order of Civil Merit,

In 1970, he opened Seong Isidore Clinic and sometimes provided free medical treatment to extremely poor patients.In 1962, he also established the Hallim Credit Cooperative, the first of its kind in Jeju Island and the first in rural areas across Korea. They also established social welfare facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, care facilities, kindergartens, senior universities, and youth training centers using the profits generated from the farm business. In March 2002, Seong Isidore Hospital reopened as the Seong Isidore Welfare Clinic with a hospice focus,

After moving to Suncheon, he served as an auxiliary priest at Suncheon Cathedral for five months, and in 1954 came to Jeju as a missionary of the Congregation of Saint Columban and was assigned to Hallim Chapel of Jungang Parish.Father McGrinchie, who witnessed the harsh reality of Jeju struggling in poverty due to the Jeju 4·3 Incident and the Korean War, led modernization efforts by establishing a livestock industry base and setting up social welfare facilities. He bought a Yorkshire piglet born in Incheon and brought it all the way to Hallim,

In that case, sometimes the scarcity of women can be helpful. Conversely, for those people, I was an unusual presence, and because I attracted a lot of attention, it seemed somewhat easier to request coverage or ask for cooperation. My basic disposition is that I tend to always want to be new rather than doing what I’ve always done. In fact, there are often many attempts made with good intentions, but they are frequently left unfinished. But finishing even one of the ten tasks means I’ve clearly grown a step further than if I had stayed put without taking on any challenge, and that gives me energy.

He lamented the situation where no official from the speaking parties is advocating for an increase in the refund rate, and even if everyone stepped forward to lead the effort to raise it, it remains unclear whether it will change, yet they are pushing only their own demands. He argued that the one task is to persuade and fight the National Assembly and the government so that the domestic horse racing refund rate, which can be called the worst in the world at 73%,

Regarding this strike, he emphasized, Even if it is a right of the KCTU, people should know that horse racing is a completely different industry from other manufacturing and service sectors,” stressing that ignoring the fairness of horse racing, which is conducted through free competition, and focusing solely on income distribution rather than competition does not fit with the horse racing system.They said they knew that since last year, a KCTU official has been stationed at Busan-Gyeongnam Racecourse Park

I ran around with the camera director, literally creating a broadcast from A to Z, and it was so much fun that I think I never even considered moving elsewhere because of it. Even now, the excitement and passion from that time remain just the same.Even I had never thought about the idea of a woman broadcasting horse racing. A few horse racing fans posted in the Horse Racing Love Room jokingly asking, “What if a woman did the commentary?” and at the time, Team Leader Kim Yong-cheol noticed it. Team Leader Kim Yong-chul is the person who, together with us, created the very foundation of horse racing broadcast content. Because they had watched me diligently running around for nine years, they must have believed me, so they made a proposal.

Kim Byung-hong argued,The fairness of horse racing is achieved through free competition, and focusing only on income distribution does not fit at all with the horse racing system.”First, CEO Kim Byung-hong said regarding the indefinite strike by the Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions’ Public Transport Workers’ Union and the Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Pilgrim Workers’ Union, “Do not incite people for your own benefit by rallying those who have quietly

At the time, it was that serious, and I desperately wanted to show them the living scene. I hoped that the hard work, determination, passion, and hardships of the people involved, as I portrayed them, could help dispel even a little of the fans’ misunderstandings. It was a 15-minute show centered on horses or people, and I think that was a period when I ran around a lot and met many people, allowing me to grow.At the time, the broadcasting team only had announcers, and there were no producers, writers, or even editors. So when things got urgent, I even took the camera myself to film, and I also handled editing, directing, and composition by myself.

Even a foreign horse with good bloodlines cannot beat a domestic horse with winning experience when it has no racing experience. In addition, foreign horses must compete against horses that have won and advanced from grade 4, but if they are forced to train excessively to match the competition, there is also a risk that the horses will break down quickly.If we purchase many quality horses from abroad, we will naturally receive high-quality horses as well, which will also help the development of Korean horse racing.

test008

Some senior advisors say that prices should be tied again, but that is wrong. Then we go back to the old days again. The reason domestic horses don’t perform well against foreign horses such as Japanese and Singaporean horses is that, due to the price restrictions, fewer quality horses have entered the market. Although the Korea Racing Authority has brought in and is supporting several good stallions, they cannot beat horses bought from abroad. We must move toward a system of autonomous competition.

Wouldn’t it be better to have the person facing each other run from two places rather than having them buy horses and race only at one racetrack. Horses with somewhat less speed but good endurance are more likely to succeed in Busan than in Seoul, whereas horses with better speed than endurance are more likely to succeed in Seoul than in Busan. If you only have one chance to spend a lot of money to buy a horse, it is such a waste and a loss. Make people who can’t speak in Busan run in Seoul,

test008

Of course, there are also management system factors, but Busan’s main highway is 50 meters longer than Seoul’s, so horses with endurance perform better there, whereas faster horses do better in Seoul.However, if you merge, the opponents who purchase and deploy horses will have a wider range of choices, so it could also be an opportunity for the opponents. At present, except for the integrated race, Seoul owners can enter their horses in races held at LetsRun Park Seoul for Seoul-owned horses,

Above all, the integration of the Majoo region is the top priority. There are currently many deficit owners, but if Bukyung and Seoul are merged, it could help alleviate the deficit owners to some extent and also have a positive effect on improving the competitiveness of Korean horse racing.In the integrated horse racing competition held over several years between Busan and Seoul, horses belonging to LetsRun Park Busan-Gyeongnam are achieving relatively good results. The reason is mainly due to the influence of the state.

In Korea, the horses used by the athletes vary in price, and the athletes also go to the United States or Europe to receive individual training. However, most Japanese athletes are active within Japan, and they compete while working at riding clubs with just a horse. In my opinion, the level of Korean is higher than that of Japan.Seri-machi, a trainer and expert in taming and training retired racehorses, said that taming a horse is not like a mathematical formula. Just as no novel contains only one interpretation,

Since Korea and the Middle East will bring good words and do their best, I think it will be difficult for Japan to win a gold medal.The jockey for the dressage has not yet been decided. I think a team of the same caliber as the 2014 Incheon Asian Games might be formed. It looks like Korea and India will be competing for the gold medal, and Japan will seem likely to be contesting for the bronze medal with China. I heard that China is making huge investments in dressage recently. It is said that they brought in a great jousting horse from Europe.
