Following the presentation of the topic, a debate involving experts from all walks of life was held, and various opinions were presented to prevent the spread of illegal gambling in Korea. Park Sung-ki, the secretary-general of the Commission on Integrated Surveillance of the Gambling Industry, who was the first debater, briefly introduced the background, definition, and role of the inspection committee, and said, "The inspection committee was created to eradicate illegal gambling games at the time of its launch, but since the right to crack down was not recognized in the process, the focus was on withdrawing from illegal gambling and institutional regulation on the legal part." He also stressed, "We are grateful for the fact that the National Assembly has created this place, with a crackdown team on illegal gambling scheduled to be formed soon within the audit committee. Budget, organization and cooperation are needed for the crackdown on illegal gambling in the future."

I think it was a very long year, rather than a sad one, spending 2017, so I hope that the new year will come soon, so I won't be the only one celebrating the new year of the 2018 Martial Arts 戊戌. Those who are especially involved in the horse industry have greater expectations for the new year than anyone else, so why don't they wish for a miraculous year beyond the frustration and despair of 2017? 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 the Korean horse industry,

Australia's Victoria state has recently signed an MOU with state police agencies to block illegal betting, suggesting that South Korea should also strengthen its control over illegal markets through close cooperation between government agencies and implementers. Kang Seok-gu, a researcher at the Korea Institute for Criminal Policy Studies, expressed concern about the policy direction of the Commission on Integrated Surveillance of the Enforcement Industry, which was launched in the wake of the so-called "Sea Story" incident in 2006. He pointed out that the Audit Committee, which expected to carry out management and supervision of the remnants of the gambling industry along with the legal and illegal markets, has been focusing only on the control of the legal gambling industry. The new illegal market analyzed that illegal horse racing and illegal sports betting through mobile and the Internet have rapidly spread.

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 Training Association to explore the direction for the horse trainers.

Hong Kong's soccer betting, which raised sales by more than 56 percent by lowering the margin rate from 17.9 percent to 15.7 percent, and horse racing and sports betting, which developed various types of betting, were examples of strengthening competitiveness, and the police, the Ministry of Home Affairs, as well as the media, NGOs, financial institutions and portal site operators are making all-out efforts to crack down on illegal betting. Meanwhile, he introduced cases in which illegal organizations that have established a strong online user environment operate servers overseas targeting Korea, warning that if Korea fails to lay the foundation for systematic management of illegal gambling problems, it could be out of touch. In particular, Malaysia announced that the government's control is at a level that does not function properly, with illegal organizations mobilizing gangsters to terrorize employees belonging to the horse racing organization.

Perhaps there has not been a year as eventful as this. Currently, horseback riding is in an endless fog, and horse racing is overcast with dark clouds. The media and broadcast reports of bad events related to the horse industry played a part in this. It is time to think a lot about how to overcome this crisis in the horse industry. Horse racing is a youth horse racing, and horse racing is putting a lot of effort into finding a way out as 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.

We will try to listen to the good opinions of experts presented through international symposiums and reflect them in legislation," he said, announcing that as the illegal gambling industry flourishes, funds that will be returned to society through HKJC are being used as a source of funds for criminal organizations. The reasons for the popularity of the illegal market include high refund rates, rebates, and credit betting, competitiveness that is different from the institutional gambling industry in terms of user convenience, securing technology levels to avoid crackdowns, and aggressive marketing.The HKJC explained the situation in Hong Kong that it is strengthening the competitiveness of the legal market while managing the illegal market not to encroach on the legal market through government-wide crackdown efforts.

In the end, the committee shortened the pilot operation period by one month until the end of September to minimize conflicts with local residents that are currently occurring in connection with the test opening. In October last year, the evaluation committee said that the operation of the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan did not negatively affect the community. The evaluation committee said that the observation results showed 4.10 points (on a nine-point scale, the higher the score, the higher the hazard), which is more positive than the negative impact from the operation of the over-the-counter sales office in Yongsan. However, the committee decided to push for the resumption of dialogue to resolve the concerns and conflicts of the opposition rather than the hasty opening, and the Yongsan over-the-counter sales office has remained closed.

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 to the establishment of policies and investment that can develop co-prosperity. We sincerely thank the horse racing fans who always give us a lot of love for domestic racehorses, and with your interest and support, we will do our best to produce faster and stronger racehorses through improvements such as replacing excellent seed horses.

In response, Park Sung-ki, the secretary general, said, "If the law is abolished, there will be confusion among the public. The second sea story situation can be reproduced," and added, "In the long run, the commission needs special jurisdiction over illegal gambling." Currently, as an alternative, the commission is afraid of investigating illegal gambling online. We agree that the commission needs to ease regulations on the legal enforcement industry. "I think it is a groundbreaking idea to integrate legal and illegal scale into the total sales system, but in reality, it will be difficult because the scale of illegality varies from one investigation office to another." The horse community has made various efforts to prove the feasibility of an innovative model for over-the-counter sales that coexists with the local community and to restore the trust of residents by actively solving the deadlocked issue of over-the-counter sales.

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.

Given that not only citizens but also many foreigners showed interest and reaction to the Eurasian Altai Cultural Exchange Exhibition, which was held in Gwanghwamun Square in 2017 with the Seoul Horse Culture Festival of the Korean Federation of Korean Horse Industries, 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, I have no doubt that Korea's horse industry will expand to various parts of the world. The direction of the industry policy at the end of 2018 should be to improve the quality of life of the people and revitalize the economy of farming and fishing villages through fostering the horse industry.

There is an investigation that the regulation of legal gambling projects is not helping to eradicate illegal gambling at all," said Jonghwa Lee, a professor of criminology at Kwangwoon University, while Hong Deok-hwa, head of the Citizens' Coalition for Addiction Prevention, claimed, "If we block the illegal gambling market worth more than 100 trillion won, we can also solve the civil servants pension." "The number of online gambling games has been on the rise recently," said Cheon Ki-hong, a prosecutor at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office. "The prosecution will continue to crack down on the underground economy, and will try to prevent illegal gambling by recovering online profits to block game manufacturers and suppliers."

A lot of efforts have been made to break down the existing misconception that only a few people can enjoy horseback riding. In order to popularize horse-riding sports and expand the base, large and small events were planned and held every year, and we approached citizens with various cultural festivals, enjoyed, and joined them. The Korean Federation of Horse Industry, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korean Horse Association, which are the central pillars of the horse industry policy, always strives to make the government's horse industry policy a hope for the people.

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.

Perhaps that's why there were heated candlelight vigils and major changes in the country. Unfortunately, the horse industry, among others, was at the center of the news and delivered bad images of horse riding every day. An incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, which forced many people, including myself, to overcome very difficult times. The first comprehensive horse industry plan came as an unexpected moment for the Korean horse industry, which was growing rapidly, but in some ways, I think it provided an opportunity to publicize the unfamiliar area of the 'horse riding' to the public. Of course,
