In his opening remarks, Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said, “To contribute, even if only a little, to the development of world horse racing, Korean horse racing, which was promoted one step up from Part 3 to Part 2 this year, will prepare for the inaugural Korea Cup international race by inviting outstanding horses and jockeys from seven countries around the world.” He added, “We will do our utmost to enter Part 1 in 2020, the 100th anniversary of Korean horse racing.” He explained the purpose of the roundtable, saying, “We ask not only questions about the Korea Cup but also good suggestions for the development of Korean horse racing.”In horse racing, if you don’t compete, you can’t tell what position you’re in or how far behind you are compared to the world’s races.

In particular, since building infrastructure to revitalize equestrian activities is also an important value, he said, “I believe that not only horse racing but also the equestrian industry must grow together to truly complete the development of the horse industry in the fullest sense.”He said that before restoring public trust, the priority should be creating an organizational culture of mutual trust, and that the most important value in putting this into practice is personnel fairness as the chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, so he made this promise.

To introduce the principle of competition, all sectors must be opened and made transparent. Korean horse racing should also let people experience world-class horse racing firsthand through international races. Only then can you receive fresh stimulation and be able to improve. This is the purpose of holding this international race. We plan to actively continue hosting international races in the future.Currently, racehorses are being exported to Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and other countries, and there are plans to further expand racehorse exports going forward. In addition to exporting unilaterally, imports must also proceed concurrently. However, under current Korean law, race imports from overseas are restricted, imposing legal limitations.

Youth equestrianism must not lose sight of its essence as education. Looking at youth equestrian sports today, they are more focused on competition than on education. I think it’s enough to just go quickly, even if it means taking a dangerous route rather than going exactly on course. Even at competitions, coaches don’t instruct players on how to hit accurately, instead teaching things like "go quickly" and "turn." This is not education. When children are young, games should include education rather than just determining first, second, or third place.Since the last Sangju competition, we have implemented the Standard Jumping Class, a modified version of the American Hunter competition. Standard jumping class is an event that requires a great deal of training.

Returning the frozen, cold heart within it with a warm gaze is truly a difficult challenge, but he emphasized that, combined with the outstanding ability and passion of the Korea Racing Authority’s executives and staff, as well as Chairman Kim Nak-soon’s conviction, they will surely restore public trust. Emphasizing that the best path and the Korea Racing Authority’s central goal is to return to being an organization faithful to its founding purpose,he said,That path is the responsibility entrusted to us by the state and the true image of the Korea Racing Authority that the public expects.

He emphasized that the only way to apologize and ask for forgiveness is to be reborn anew, and said he wants the day of his inauguration to be remembered as “the start of a new chapter in history, where we promise and declare before the people that we will be reborn as the people’s Korea Racing Authority.”Above all, he emphasized that he would love the Korea Racing Authority organization and trust it infinitely,adding,Depending on what we do, we can earn the full love of the people.

Chairman Kim Nak-soon said that he was first “called” to serve as the 36th chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, and that personally it was a position of honor. As is typical of most inaugural speeches, he mentioned the weather and said, “What is truly cold is not the weather, but the public’s gaze toward the Korea Racing Authority today,” adding, “With a heavy sense of responsibility, I am deeply afraid of the public’s stern command to be reborn anew.

However, it is true that our country has not yet reached that level. Horse racing has a poor image among the public. So our horse racing should also become a sophisticated, wholesome sport. We need to create an atmosphere where people can enjoy it up close with their families.Second, when we consider the direction the horse racing industry will take globally in the future, it is questionable whether it can grow solely on the horse racing industry. The horse racing industry should also be integrated and converged with other service businesses, forming a complementary relationship.Third, I want Jeju Island Race Park to be developed into a Jeju tourist attraction themed around horses.

Before delivering his inaugural address, President Kim Nak-soon said that he had never greeted people with a prepared speech in advance until now, and that, at the strong request of the secretariat, he had devoted great care and effort to prepare the speech formally over the course of three nights and four days.The inaugural address is about 25 manuscript pages long and contains roughly 3,500 words, offering a glimpse into how important the pressing issues facing the Korea Racing Authority are.

Six years from now, in 2022, will mark the 1,000th anniversary of horse racing being introduced to Korea. By then, Korean horse racing should become a leading country in horse racing. Currently, we are holding an international race with participants from seven countries, but in the future we will ensure that the international race is held to the highest standard in every aspect, including the number of participating countries and the quality of the horses. We plan to divide the six years into three phases of two years each and expand it step by step. In 2018, two years later, at least 10 countries, and even more two years after that. We are planning an internationally competitive event that is outstanding in every respect.In advanced horse racing countries, horse racing has established itself as a sophisticated and wholesome leisure sport.

Next year, just like this year, we plan to focus on establishing the pedigree and move forward in earnest. We are currently preparing to open a call for operators of a horse training hub center within the Jeju Livestock Promotion Institute, and if we can secure one, it is expected to accelerate the establishment of Hallama’s pedigree. We have already secured two trainers, and we plan to prepare thoroughly in accordance with the recruitment guidelines.In addition, a nationwide equestrian competition featuring Hanlima will also be held.

Even when holding a competition, there can be differences in thinking among people, and in that process, misunderstandings can arise. The second round of the competition was the result of applying to the Korea Racing Authority’s call for additional selections for recipients of the horse industry development support project held last November. It will be held under the same rules and format as the first tournament. I plan to put even more effort into promotion during the remaining period.

Only Hallama can participate. As stated in the regulations, all horses participating in the competition are Halla horses registered with the Halla Horse Breeders Association or the Korea Racing Authority.That’s right. It is already well known that Hallama has participated in various endurance competitions and won several times. There is already a consensus on Halla’s excellence within the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Korea Racing Authority, and the entire horse industry.

If I had been assigned a new word, it would have been difficult, but since it was a word I had been riding every day at school, I was familiar with it and comfortable using it, which reduced my anxiety about the test and gave me confidence. For this reason, I also did well on the practical exam score.I cannot choose the one word that left the strongest impression. This phrase is good, and that phrase is good too. Learn this from this person, learn that from the other,

I want to create the perception that Korea’s KRA Racing Park is not just a place for horse racing. I think that’s the right way to make it. In that sense, the horse theme park can be considered a small attempt.There are 30 off-track sales outlets nationwide. This place should not be used merely as a place where horse racing fans buy tickets. It must become a cultural origin site of that region. The Gangnam over-the-counter sales office was tried as that pilot case. The remaining over-the-counter sales outlets should also develop to that level.The amazing place where the meeting is being held now is a testing ground for young people.

Rehabilitation horseback riding was an area I was interested in when I enrolled. Every Wednesday, students come to school for therapeutic horseback riding lessons, and at the beginning of the semester I signed up for volunteers and gained a lot of experience assisting them from the side. I prepared for the demonstration test of the second rehabilitation riding lesson in the second semester of the first year. At that time, Professor Park Geum-ran and Instructor Song Yeon-hee kindly explained things to me and demonstrated them,

Since I learned practical skills in my first year, I didn’t feel burdened by the fact that the two certificates were different. I learned regular horseback riding and racehorse riding in advance at school, so I was able to prepare for the certification more easily. For the Level 2 Recreational Sports Instructor exam, there was an obstacle course in the practical test section, so before the exam, I stayed up early in the morning or late at night and practiced obstacle courses with Professor Chu Hoo-geun.

By implementing the Support Project for Non-Rice Crop Cultivation,we will reduce the rice cultivation area by 50,000 hectares this year. We will prepare focusing on forage crops and regionally specialized crops to minimize the impact on the supply and demand of substitute crops.In addition, we will work to enhance the industry’s competitiveness and contribute to supply and demand stability by upgrading rice quality through expanding the distribution of high-quality varieties and improving grading standards.
