Meanwhile, many people had to leave the racetrack on their own or due to industrial accidents or diseases. There was no way to improve the system. Competition was the priority. Whether it is voluntary or not, competition should stop. It is human nature that a good race horse can come out only when people are peaceful, safe and happy. Fortunately, the "plan to improve the employment structure of horse managers" signed last year by the participation of the two major labor unions, horse racing society, Euljiro committee, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs decided to hold a working-level committee for horse racing and discuss pending issues related to horse racing plans and practical affairs.

However, the opposition committee, which has been calling for unconditional opposition, claims that even after the results of the test operation evaluation were announced, the committee distorted the test operation evaluation results by mobilizing members of the pro-horse society, and says it can never accept the evaluation results and will continue to protest until the union closes the Yongsan OTC. Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, who also expressed opposition to the test operation of the Yongsan OTC, told reporters in a meeting on the evening of the 19th, "We should not open the Yongsan Video Racecourse when residents oppose it. It is problematic to push for it without consensus with residents when the surrounding areas are schools and residential areas."

Over the past 100 years, the Seoul Racecourse has improved the working conditions that senior managers and senior workers have been in poor condition one by one. It is not that they will not work and will do less, but that they should work while observing laws, regulations, and systems. It is said that employment, survival rights, and safety from industrial accidents of horse racing manager workers should be premised, and the Pukyong Racing Authority 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. No, the innovation that the horse racing society has unilaterally created should be completely blanked,

Meanwhile, the Seoul Racing Authority also opposes the Korean Racing Authority's plan to innovate horse racing. The Seoul Racing Authority has formed an emergency committee to respond to the horse racing innovation drive. The emergency committee says it will prepare demands that reflect the positions of the two sides and hold official consultations with the horse racing society. The Korea Racing Authority originally planned to finalize and announce a horse racing innovation plan in November, but it is facing difficulties due to strong opposition from related organizations including producers. The Korea Racing Authority cannot easily give up the innovation plan because Chairman Si Myung-kwan is demanding a strong push to enter Part II, and producers cannot watch the obvious contraction of the domestic horse production base, so the labor over the promotion of the integrated horse racing system is unlikely to subside easily.

Unfortunately, triggered by the death of two horse racing managers in Pukyong (unknown, but two union members killed themselves last year at the Seoul Racecourse), public opinion was formed and discussions were held that job insecurity, excessive competition systems, and poor working conditions of horse racing workers should be improved. In the process, the managers in Seoul drove them to the dichotomy logic that because employment was stable and competitiveness was low, they worked less and took more salaries. The history of Seoul and Pukyong, and the work experience and average age of horse racing workers were not discussed at all, and the media reported the logic

Since regional governments still play an important role as control towers, the government should find ways to eliminate overlapping investments or inefficiencies among local governments in the special zone, and to enhance their functions as special zones. In particular, I hope that the government, horse racing society and local governments can create a cooperative system to improve domestic horse racing capabilities to advance the horse racing industry. 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.

Looking back on the past year, I am deeply grateful to everyone who worked and worked in various fields with the responsibility to protect the horse industry and the educational field rather than the expectations and hopes for the development of our horse industry, and I hope that the painful memories of last year will be handed over to the old year and that the new year of 2018 will begin with a strong sound of horse hooves with a new heart. The second five-year plan for the development of the horse industry has not yet been materialized and efforts to revive the horse industry, which only lives like a plant human, are more important than ever. At the end of May 2015, the company held the inaugural general meeting of the Horse Industry National Forum,

We will further increase the number of members of the Korean Horse Training Association and make it a year where we can have a focal point. The field of horse trainers is now a very important one in the horse industry. It plays a key role in both horse racing and horse racing. The level of horses is important, but depending on how they are trained, they may or may not be a gem. The Korean Horse Association is putting a lot of effort into teaching basic skills by inviting trainers from the Crane Horse Racing Club in Japan. Let's find out what we can do together at the Korean Horse Training Association. What we will do is important, but so is how we will do it. We will gather the wisdom of the members of the Korean Horse

The Korea Racing Authority Producers Association (Chairman Oh Young-bok) held an emergency general meeting on the 19th and decided to strongly respond to the horse society's innovation plan with the approval of 63 out of 64 participants. In addition, the Korea Racing Authority agreed with the Inland Horse Producers Association (Chairman Jang Yong-seok) to launch the "Korea Racing Authority Producers Development Measures Committee."The agreements of the two producers' organizations are 1. joint response efforts to the Korea Racing Authority Innovation Plan. 2. Participation in policies of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in 2015, 3. Consultation and promotion for common interests between the two associations 4. Promotion of other external activities 5. Establishment and operation of an organization of the Promotion Committee to promote the agreements.

In the face of strong opposition from horse racing officials, the Korea Racing Authority came up with a proposal for adjustment in November. In the plan, the government plans to integrate mountain areas by year from the top groups and separate foreign countries and other counties. In particular, the government plans to integrate the 1st and 2nd groups next year, and expand the number of integrated groups to integrate from the 1st and 5th groups in 2018.In addition, the government will raise the ceiling on purchases (number of horses) to 100,000 dollars next year, but only allow them to buy at the auction market. However, in 2017, the ceiling on purchases and restrictions on the trading market will be completely abolished. Meanwhile, the government said it will push ahead with the introduction of ratings, improvement of the weight of horse racing, maintenance of horse racing competitions, and the opening of face-to-face meetings. The biggest opposition from producers is the integration of mountainous areas.

This was helped by the media and broadcasting reports of bad events related to the horse industry. It is time to think a lot about how to overcome this crisis in the horse industry. Horse racing is putting a lot of effort into making a way for horse racing to become an international race, but compared to that effort, the effect is not that great yet. However, I think there will be consequences if you keep trying. Racing Media is also struggling with unexpected things this year, but I'm sure it will overcome them wisely. The Korean Horse Training Association, which I am in charge of, did not have much activity in 2017. It is true that due to various conditions, there were restrictions on activities. I hope that 2018 will be a year when we can

Instead of establishing an individual consumption tax on cigarettes, we are asking the government to impose an individual consumption tax on the burn racetrack, which is a concept of 'gambling tax', to make up for the shortfall in tax revenue." Lawmaker Hong said, "The over-the-counter sales office of the race is a facility where people bet while watching the race through video, and is recognized as a speculative space, not a leisure space. In response, they argue that strengthening the individual consumption tax on over-the-counter sales offices has a positive effect on suppressing such speculative activities. The partial amendment to the individual consumption tax law, represented by Rep. Hong Jong-hak, calls for a three-fold increase in taxes included in the over-the-counter admission fee (2000 won) from the current 1,000 won to 3,000 won, and an additional 20% tax on the current 10% of the ticket sales as leisure tax, which is a local tax.

Unlike the usual rigid atmosphere, the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony was due to the expectation that he was the first horse leader appointed by the Moon Jae In government, applause or loud answers were poured out to Chairman Kim Nak-soon's questions. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who seemed to recognize the situation in which his inauguration speech had no choice but to be "dignified," shook hands and talked with all employees in front of the lobby of the main building after the inauguration ceremony. After the inauguration ceremony, an official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "It is true that there were concerns that he was a parachute or a non-professional at the time of the cabinet government,

On the other hand, he said, "I will fully repay the employees who work hard, are creative, faithfully respond to the call of the state, and contribute to the people's interests on behalf of the state," and added, "Please support and support me generously when I meet your expectations." He also said, "The chairman protects the institution and organization, and the members of the organization trust and protect the chairman. That is what the Korean Horse Association promises to prosper the community." Finally, Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said, "The Korean Horse Association will be different and should be different," said, "Let's all become the leaders of creating a new history of the Korean Horse Association with a confident attitude.

The second task can be concentrated as a response to the standardization of the horse racing industry. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said that even with global trends, generating profits through horse racing is difficult for the future, mentioned the crisis of closing the over-the-counter sales office. "As a top professional manager of the horse industry, I know that there are some concerns and voices of concern," said Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who revealed his career as a professional manager and a scholar of lectures and research on culture and arts at universities and said, "The CEO realized that the ability to present the right direction and solve problems is the first virtue." In particular, based on his experience as an aide to the first union leader

As soon as he took office, he said that he would hurry to start processing each department's work. In fact, he reportedly received reports on each department's work on the day of his inauguration, last weekend, and the 24th. Most welcome of all is the recognition that "the Korean Horse Association is neither an intelligence agency nor an institution that requires special security," and emphasized that "we will ensure that all possible areas of work can be carried out in a transparent manner." He also said that this is the shortcut to restoring trust to the public. Analysts say that the remarks were made in consideration of the deterioration of the image of the Korean Horse Association and the horse industry, which was triggered by former chairmen cutting off or avoiding some media outlets in accordance with the advice of some followers.

Emphasizing that the best path and the goal of the Korean Racing Authority is to return to an institution that is faithful to its founding purpose, he said, "The path is a responsibility given to us by the state and the true form of the Korean Racing Authority that the people expect." He also said that generating profits through horseback riding is not an end, but a means. Instead of maximizing profit generation, publicity and sharing should now come first, and he said, "Our community will strive to become a healthy institution that expects the highest productivity in the best condition." In particular, since the establishment of infrastructure to revitalize horseback riding is also an important value, he said, "We believe that not only horse racing but also the horseback riding industry needs to grow together to complete the development of the horse industry in a true sense.

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 corporation subject to public distrust, criticism, and deep-rooted evil, he said he would not hold people accountable for any reason. It was not the problem of the entire Korean Racing Authority, but the problem was the manager who claimed to be a puppet and some of his followers who used it as a tool for his standing.

Despite the unpredictable darkness and chaos, all of our racers have not stopped their great journey to challenge and challenge without giving in to despair and crisis over the past year.Entering Part II, the Korean Horse Racing Association, which started anew as a member of the global horse racing industry, began small changes in the field to strengthen its competitiveness, including the Dubai World Cup away challenge last year, the introduction of advanced overseas personnel, changes in race horse training patterns and the implementation of the break time system, and the improvement of horse racing infrastructure, such as racers' long-cherished dream, began in earnest. Our members of the Seoul Horse Racing Association,

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 a solid production base and can collapse in an instant, so we look back on Korea's horse industry policy once again and 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

Last year is remembered as a year that was truly eventful and difficult until the earthquake and fire disaster at the end of the year, in addition to the nation's anxiety caused by the national manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of the president, and the nuclear provocation of North Korea. As the horse racing industry experienced a series of deaths of horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and the rare occurrence of special labor supervision, I hope that the horse racing industry, including the horse racing business, is generally cold and exhausted. I hope that 2018 will be a year that has turned around with a new start like the sun of hope, as if we are exiting a dark tunnel.

Inland horses are efficiently using Let's Run Farm Jangsu's grasslands, and training has been possible regardless of weather conditions on the 400-meter indoor road of Let's Run Farm Jangsu, which was completed earlier this year. In a special race for the Breeze-up auction horse held at Let's Run Park Seoul on August 20 this year, inland horses' race power is being improved, with "Icheon Rice" and "Pulling Hands" ranked first and second. If you come to the inland domestic horse auction held in May, July, and October 2018, under the support of Let's Run Farm Jangsu, you will be able to meet high-quality horses produced and nurtured by producers and Let's Run Farm Jangsu at a foam-removed price, so please pay active attention and participate.

With most farmers experiencing sales cliffs due to the liberalization of imports of foreign horses and the concentration of the top prize money, which has been in the market since the implementation of the horse racing innovation plan in 2015, it is desperately necessary to introduce a subsidy support system for closure to preserve some of the investment in grasslands and facilities and to prepare for new livelihoods when limited racehorse production farms close down. The revitalization of auctions organized by a credible association can no longer be delayed in order to ensure transparency in the distribution structure of racehorses and to form a fair market value for racehorses between many sellers and buyers.

You can see the record of having 1 million horses during the Goryeo Dynasty. This indicates that Korea was a horse powerhouse in Central Asia and around the world. Horse experts also evaluate that Korean guahamas, or Jeju horses, are much stronger than Mongolian horses. Given that not only citizens but also many foreigners showed interest and reaction to the Eurasian Altai Cultural Exchange Exhibition, which was held at Gwanghwamun Plaza in 2017 along with the Seoul Horse Culture Festival of the Korean Federation, I am confident that the horse industry can become a major policy of Korea in the future like K-POP. Like many Korean stars who have shone in the Republic of Korea, such as Kim Yu-na,

Therefore, I am confident that it will ultimately establish itself as an important position in the livestock industry in Korea in the future. To that end, we need to develop a system and build a control tower that will enable the training and management of experts above all else, and the main goal should be to revitalize the youth horse riding of consumers in the future, which will increase demand. In addition, investment and efforts should be made to cultivate and assist horse producers in case demand increases. As for the successful cases of France that we will benchmark, the government led the way in controlling the industry to provide various supports and public relations, and quickly established an industrial foundation.
