Following the suicide of a female jockey, the sexual harassment of a female trainer, it seemed that dark clouds had gathered over the advancement of women's rights. However, overcoming these setbacks, trainer Lee Shin young, who became the first female trainer, along with jockey Kim Hye seon, the first female jockey to surpass 100 career wins, and jockey Lee Geum ju, who proudly won a race featuring an overseas female jockey, have begun to gradually break down the prejudices.

My decision to work in broadcasting was largely influenced by joining a broadcasting club by chance in middle school. I had a variety of experiences as a producer,announcer,and engineer,and I found it incredibly enjoyable and well suited to my aptitude,so I strongly felt that this was something I could do well. Just as I was about to enter the workforce,I saw a job posting from the Korea Racing Authority seeking a female announcer.At the time,it was true that I only had a vague understanding of horse racing and knew nothing about its reality.

Professor Jojunggi first introduced the Department of Equestrian Industry at Gangneung Yeongdong University, which was established 15 years ago. As a private junior college specialized in medicine and tourism, Gangneung Yeongdong University actively supports student entrepreneurship and employment, and is focusing on training the workforce needed at the grassroots level of the horse industry by integrating Gangwon Province’s regional characteristics of forestry,

You seemed distracted during training before the race, but you appeared to focus well during the race. Since Changse performed better when leading, they instructed jockey Lee Chan-ho to take the lead. I instructed them to take the lead, even if it was somewhat difficult at first. I felt very anxious because it seemed like I was being overtaken just 100 meters before the finish line. But when 'Changse' was by my side, I think I was able to hold on because of my stubbornness in not wanting to lose.

Minister Lee Dong-pil was appointed in March 2013 and has served in his ministerial post since then.At the meeting,Minister Lee Dong-pil said, It was three and a half years.He began by saying,Various issues have occurred, such as rice tariff liberalization,the Korea-China FTA, supply and demand instability, and foot-and-mouth disease.As a minister with a background as a researcher and scholar, I would like to cite the organization of basic statistics as my greatest achievement.

If I speak of it with selfishness, those words lose their weight. As long as the other person isn't a fool, you can tell whether there's personal bias. I speak my mind whether I'm in a central ministry or a local government. It's not because of this, but because of that, I can say it proudly. Only someone who is honest can say something like this. A person without personal bias should lead the organization. Only by doing so can we move beyond the development of the horse industry and become a developed nation.

Of course, some instructors lack the basics. I've had several instructors like that myself. Once they were finally able to use it after a long lesson, they would often just come and go without a word, disappearing. As the administrator, I was at a loss for what to do. Still, he endured it steadfastly without resorting to tricks. A virtuous woman among the instructors married my son and became his daughter-in-law. Since the family ran the riding club together, the equestrian business has been able to establish itself more steadily.

As a business operator, generating profit is only natural. However, even if it is a bit difficult, it is important to stick to the principles. If you keep cutting this and that just because it's difficult now, it will only lead to a vicious cycle. The more difficult it is, the more we must adhere to principles and strive to provide perfect facilities. The same goes for instructors’ salaries. If you try to give less and assign more just because the situation is tough, they won't be able to handle it and will all leave.

Having worked in livestock farming for many years, I fattened my eldest son. Then, an FTA with the United States was concluded. I began to think that the fattening business was no longer viable. I asked my son, who was running a fattening business, if he was thinking about starting a riding club business. My son seemed to think that the equestrian business had more of a future than fattening cattle, so he said he would give it a try. Then I told him to get a riding instructor certificate and come back.

During lunch breaks, we showed Family Amusement Hall and Animal Kingdom. After a meeting to create our own horse racing program, I took on broadcasting planning for the first time, and the first program I produced was a 15-minute documentary. It is my first work that I will never forget. Jockey Park Tae-jong, who had recently reached 2,000 wins, had become the first in Korean horse racing history to reach 100 wins in a single season, so I spent a month following him to create a special program.

By nature, I tend to want something new rather than sticking to what I've always done. In fact, there are often many attempts made with good intentions, but they never get finished. However, completing even one of the ten tasks means I have clearly grown a step further than if I had remained stagnant without taking on challenges, and that gives me energy. It's a problem because the people around me are having a hard time.When I joined the company, there were no specialized horse racing TV programs at all.

When I visited the stable on race day mornings for urgent reporting,some of the older owners would scold me,saying,You’re unlucky if a woman comes.It wasn't that I felt entirely happy,but on the other hand, I thought,This is fun.I thought that, depending on my efforts, this kind of culture might be gradually dispelled.From that point on, I think I really worked hard on the ground doing the reporting.In that sense, the scarcity of women can be helpful.Conversely,the existence of the country seemed unusual to them, and because so much attention was focused on them,

Not only are there racing industry professionals building impressive achievements from the outside,but women are also quietly walking their own paths and serving as strong pillars throughout our horse industry.They live as one individual’s vanguard, drawing on the characteristic of being women, not merely as women.Though still few in number, the achievements they have made cannot be ignored.As misogyny, women's rights expansion,and gender equality have become hot-button issues,

At the Gold Coast first‑generation horse auction held in Australia earlier this year,more than half of the staff representing the ranch were women.In an interview with this publication,Barhamul Stud’s female manager said,It is remarkable for us to even find it surprising that women do the work of horses,adding,Whether a woman is strong or not is not a difference between women and men,but simply a difference in individual ability.She also said,Australian women are strong and have mental toughness that rivals men's.

Moreover, during the Japanese colonial period, the rumor that women born in the Year of the Horse are strong-willed spread and was even exploited to suppress women’s rights, deepening the divide.In contrast, in countries where the horse industry is widespread, horses are being raised just as we keep dogs and cats as pets.There is no way there could be a gap between the words and the woman.In Australia,which is known for its strong women's rights, most people,regardless of gender,

When asked for a word to readers still waiting for his voice, he said,After joining through open recruitment, I was overqualified to serve as an executive and then retired. She reflected,I have a deep affection for Korea's horse industry, which is why I am still working at a school.He also said,Although I have spent my life in publicity, the horse racing industry, which has had a strong negative perception from its early stages, is extremely difficult.

Since the year before last, they said they had been discussing with Kangwon Land to promote winter mountain horseback riding and had been surveying the area in detail to develop a horseback trekking course using the 'Untan-ro,' the coal transport route. It was popular with a large turnout of equestrian club members, but there was regret as the project has stalled due to budget issues.As a former executive of the Korea Racing Authority who led efforts in image reform and public relations,

However, despite this reality, civic groups that have ridden on social prejudice against off-track betting facilities and regional selfishness are absorbed in opposition for the sake of opposition, and it is regrettable that the reality of labeling the horse racing industry—which contributes a significant portion to the national budget by paying tax revenue amounting to 1.4 trillion won annually—as gambling is nothing short of unfortunate.The horse industry and horse racing industry say that instead of opposing only for the sake of opposition, they should seek development into a healthy leisure activity and openly discuss with each other to set the best course for one another.

With Gyeryong Construction relocating to a new headquarters in February, the Korea Racing Authority plans to purchase the shared Gyeryong Construction building and improve customer service by remodeling it into an optimized facility. When residents began opposing the expansion of the Daejeon branch, the Korea Racing Authority stated that it would maintain the current policy of one person, one seat, assigned seating system and the current number of entrants.The importance of off-track betting facilities in the horse racing industry is by no means small.To implement horse racing, enormous financial resources are required to equip basic facilities such as racecourses, stands, and auxiliary facilities, and due to difficulties in securing land to build racetracks, it is a reality in countries that have implemented horse racing that they operate off-track betting facilities far outnumbering the number of racetracks.

Despite the complexity, the Bukyung staff made an effort to learn by asking many questions to introduce the new teaching method. I poured out questions I had always wondered about, such as how and how much rest I should take after intense training.If massage professionals understand the principles of equine exercise physiology, they can scientifically determine what changes occur during training of racehorses. Introducing exercise physiology does not immediately improve a racehorse's ability,

In particular, the two main roads are blocking access to the nearest school, Seongsim Girls’ Middle and High School, so it was found that only 0.27 students per day actually attend school in front of the new Yongsan branch, revealing how absurd the opposing side’s claims were.Nevertheless, the opposing side is shouting only opposition unconditionally.In their press statement, the Residents’ Committee demanded opposition to the expansion of the Yongsan branch office outside the building, desperate resistance if the branch office is forced to open inside, and strong action from the Yongsan District Mayor, the district council, and National Assembly member Jin Young.In particular, they have repeatedly insisted that opening the new Yongsan branch is absolutely impossible, and that if the opening is pursued, there would be no need for consultation.

Having already begun the hunt for a new record as the fastest to reach 100 wins,Moon Se young continued to become the record holder.Last year, he also reached 1,200 wins about five years ahead of jockey Park Tae jong,and it took only about nine months to add 100 more wins to reach 1,300,further shortening the time needed to accumulate victories.Jockey Moon Se young,who continues her unstoppable winning streak,has recorded 74 wins as of the end of June. Although it is still a numbers game,he is likely to reach 100 wins this year,
