During his tenure as the head of the Rural Development Administration, he promoted projects such as smart farm technology development, establishment of sixth industrialization of agriculture, expansion of exports, and mechanization of field farming, stressing that "it is an achievement that could not have been achieved without understanding the difficulties of the field." Therefore, he said, "If you don't have customers, there are no companies, so you have to always look at everything with sincerity from the customer's point of view." He also introduced his experience working in the planning department, such as the planning and budget officer, the agricultural policy director, and the head of the planning department, which began in 1983, and disclosed an anecdote that he set up comprehensive measures for the development of farming and fishing villages between 1989 and 1990.

In particular, "Mayon-a-horse" learned the advanced trends of Europe, the home of horseback riding, and tried to make a competition comparable to that, and as a result, it has established itself as the current "Mayon-a-horse." A special stadium was set up on natural grass and cultural contents that the public was interested in were incorporated into it. Compared to baseball, which has risen as a representative sport in Korea, the popularization of horseback riding may sound a little distant. However, the audience's response and gaze from the scene during the last two competitions were convinced that the popularization of horseback riding was not far away,

You need to know what you are saying and continue training with breathing. In training, not only running, but also warming up and finishing together. The biggest factor that made me the best rider is that I have been injured every year so far, but I did not in 2016. I was seriously injured in 2015. I was in a fall accident while playing, and I fractured my toe, pelvis, and waist bone. Fortunately, I was discharged from the hospital after wearing a cast without major surgery. I took a month off and went to the racetrack again without any bones sticking to it. Until now, there have been many injuries that have been cracked in my bones, but there have been no major surgeries except for surgery due to broken ligaments in my fingers.

Chairman Lee Yang-ho expressed his position on the chairman's appointment, management principles, 30 years of public life retrospectives, work philosophy, and matters to be pursued during his term in office. Chairman Lee Yang-ho said, "It is a great personal honor to be inaugurated as the chairman, but despite various efforts, the public's thoughts and image of the Korean Racing Authority are not bright," adding, "I think we should make the Korean Racing Authority a company loved by the people." In response to a question on how to reflect 30 years of public service life and experience working for agricultural promotion in management principles, he revealed the principle of "promoting work centered on high school, county, and government" during his tenure as the head of the Rural Development Administration.

Busan horses have much better abilities than Seoul. The training pattern itself is 100 to 150 meters longer in straight lines than Seoul, so Busan horses have much stronger endurance than Seoul horses. Seoul tends to save horses and use them for a long time, but Busan immediately sends them on vacation or replaces them when they think the horse is strange. For this reason, Busan seems to perform better than Seoul. My parents were interested in horses because they rode horses, and I had ridden them once or twice when I was young. Then, naturally, I learned about a racetrack. Originally, I was a boxer until high school. As a boxer, I also performed well. At that time, he represented Gyeonggi Province and won the runner-up prize in the light flyweight class.

It is urgent to establish such a system as soon as possible. Therefore, the Japanese government plans to expand exchanges by signing an MOU with the Japan Association of Funeralists this year. About 20 members of the association are scheduled to participate in the Japanese Jangje Festival in June, and they will also sign an MOU with the Japan Association of Funeralists. Japan is also said to be excited to hear that about 20 Japanese will come from Korea. Based on this, junior artists participated in the festival at home and abroad to win prizes. The association's ultimate goal is to make its name known so that domestic funeral services can be scouted in foreign countries. I think it will be possible because Korean people have good hand skills worldwide.

The British-style funeral system operates in an apprenticeship class and an education class. The existing funeral service recommends new applicants to a funeral service school that provides theoretical education. The funeral service provides six weeks of theoretical education. Then, it is a system that learns apprenticeship by returning to the recommended funeral service provider and following them around. When it comes to the next step, I go to school, learn theories, and come back, and do this for four years. I plan to create and operate such a training center. And I plan to revitalize exchanges with overseas funeral service associations. You should not stay like a frog in a well only in Korea. You should actively go overseas training.

Representative Yoon So-ha held a public hearing on the law on September 21 last year and listened to the opinions of agricultural, livestock and fisheries producers. At that time, representatives of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, the Korean Beef Association, ginseng association, and oyster abalone participated to discuss specific government support measures, and urged the government to provide separate support measures. Representative Yoon So-ha said, "I fully agree with the purpose of the anti-graft law and acknowledge the necessity, but concerns that damage will occur to farmers and fishermen who grow Korean beef, ginseng, fruits, and oyster beef have finally become a reality even before the anti-graft law takes effect. We have proposed this law to minimize the damage that the agricultural, livestock and fisheries sectors will unintentionally suffer while keeping the purpose of the anti-graft law alive."

Although funeral services are important for the development of the horse industry, other organizations in the horse industry have no connection with our association. The field of funeral services should be included in academic conferences, and schools should also take qualified professional funeral services to provide practical education. Funeral services should be included in education related to the horse industry, but not in it. Front-line school teachers come and receive a brief funeral service, and then go back to educate, but in this way, it is bound to have no depth. Funeral services must also be included in anything related to horses. Funeral services make no sense to raise and tame horses without their knowledge of the funeral service

Currently, almost all of the funeral services in our association have qualified, and new friends who came to learn the funeral service are planning to get them this year. I know that all of the existing funeral services in the horse society took exams last year. After our association takes the exam this year, all of them will be finished. And young people who want to learn the real funeral service will be able to qualify sequentially. The pyramid-style qualification structure is the best for the oldest funeral service that has been held for more than 30 years, but it is currently reversed. This is because young friends have one-time certificates, and seniors have four to five-time certificates.

It seems that it was the beginning before and after the industrial fair at the end of last year. The 4th Mal Industry Fair was held at KINTEX in Ilsan, and 20 million won was supported for funeral-related events. Until then, the atmosphere between the two organizations was very good. However, the Jangje Association within the Horse Association bought a booth within KINTEX from our association and asked us to run a booth with the Jangje Association within the Horse Association. I decided that it was a good idea, so I tried to do so, but the operator said that it was not possible to use a gas container or fireplace indoors. Then, there was a horse riding competition in Gyeonggi-do, and a request was made to set up a funeral booth next to the venue

Until last year, the association did not request assistance, but this year, for the first time, it requested assistance from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. When I entered the Ministry of Agriculture with plans such as funeral education, funeral association, and funeral training, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry responded that there were not one or two associations under its jurisdiction, and that all associations could not provide the support they wanted. It is a matter of course and true. Still, when I asked if there was any way to provide even a part of the support, the association said that it was difficult because there was no legal basis for immediate support, and he said it would be difficult to share subsidies in the funeral sector among the budget of the Horse Association.

He didn't miss out on the effects and functions of horseback riding. "The best exercise for one's mental and physical health is horseback riding," he said, stressing that many people consider it only a high-end sport, but it should be popularized. When I visited Italy, I saw a private horse riding center and horse-riding facilities, and the members said it was impressive that they rode horses for their own sport. You have to give attention and love to horses. In fact, raising horses is more fun than riding horses. If you give them love, they are closer than friends. Horses are the closest pets to people. At one point, I used to wake them up by playing music in the morning when I had a horse.

I had a good year meeting the three-way horse, "Power Blade." I'm also grateful to Maizu and his assistant for creating such a good opportunity. Even if I always work hard, there will be times when I look good or bad to horse racing fans. However, I want you to know that all jockeys always work hard for horse racing fans. None of them try hard. There are days when everyone smiles and days when they are sad, but I hope everyone will cheer for them and make a big hit. The Act on the Prohibition of Unfair Solicitation and Receiving Money (hereinafter referred to as the Solicitation Prohibition Act), which was enacted and enforced on September 28, 2016, is positive for the purpose of fair and honest performance of public officials, but due to the enforcement of the law, the demand for agricultural and fishery products such as flowers, Korean beef, fruit trees, ginseng, dried corvina and abalone has decreased, and the income of restaurants and farmers and fishermen is decreasing.

An external riding course in Namgang-myeon will also be established, and it will be used for a sunflower festival where 300,000 tourists visit in July, and an endurance competition will be possible. Whenever he visits Haman County Horseback Riding Park, he brings not only carrots for his horses but also snacks for his employees. This is to express gratitude to the employees here for their hard work for the county residents. Asked what is another advantage of Haman-gun Horse Racing Park, he summed it up with "no sick words." Some of the horses that were supported are not suitable for beginners

One of my horses called "Triple Five" participated in the competition, but the horse's performance was not good since then. He had a two-month vacation due to poor racing performance in October and November. Perhaps because of such experience, he was not happy to participate in international competitions overseas, and he instantly became reluctant to participate. So when I asked what horses would participate in Korea, he said that they would include "Power Blade," "Main Stay," "Department Demention," and "Seoul Bullitt." "Triple Nine" is a Korean representative horse that has been selected as a representative horse for two consecutive years,

Japan has no direct support for the horseback riding industry at all. Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry or the horse society is investing a lot for the development of horseback riding, but I think that could be counterproductive. The market should leave it to the market. Honestly, it is difficult to run a horse riding course. However, amid such difficulties, the market must research, develop and develop it. This means that front-line horse riding courses should not be obsessed with supporting. If you give me support, I will have a hard time teaching each member of the horse riding to make money, and I will try to go comfortably with the government's support. What can I do if I say that I will stop supporting you right away?

Its main purpose is to transform a Thoroughbred designed for running into a horseback riding. It is to learn how to train horses so that people can run comfortably and safely. High-class training will be conducted from next year, the fourth year of the race. In order for the Thoroughbred, which was used as a racehorse, to be converted into a dressage horse, I also learned dressage from Serimachi. Instructor Serimachi is also the coach for the Japanese national team and a very famous person in Japan. The hurdle is also taught by athletes who compete in the Rio Olympics. In Korea, students bring their money and learn from experts who are qualified to learn.

I had a hard time getting used to it in the first two weeks because I couldn't get used to it. But I'm okay now because I'm used to it. I think I have more strengths than weaknesses. If you earn less than Busan and don't see your family often, your weakness is that you don't have enough mental burden. I am satisfied with my life in Seoul now. Most of them were achieved last year. Before riding horses in Group 19, I had hardly won a horse race, but I think I achieved many things as a jockey by riding good horses through my relationship with assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan. It is not common for a jockey to win nine horse races in a year, and most of what I want to achieve has been achieved. If I have a dream, I want to win the Grand Prix and the Presidential Cup. Of course, it will not be easy. My future dream is to run for a long time as a jockey, of course. I don't have the intention to become an assistant teacher, and I want to run for a long time without getting hurt.
