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."

Seven years have passed since the world's only horse industry promotion law was enacted and implemented, but the most important agricultural law revision in the riding sector has not been made. In order to install a rural horse-riding facility, it is necessary to change the existing farmland to sports land, but the excessive burden of farmland conversion is a big burden. In order to improve the reality that many rural horse-riding facilities are currently operating without permission and without permission, it must be resolved during the second horse-industry plan. Only then will the demand for the production of horseback riding be activated, and it can lead to the generation of profits for members of professional horse-riding producers.

The inspection committee has only the authority to file a complaint with an investigative agency or request an investigation into the contents of the report. In 2009, a bill was submitted to the National Assembly to grant special judicial police rights to government officials who monitor illegal gambling, but it was not processed. "Illegal gambling is carried out by organized crime groups that operate as branch organizations and manage membership with borrowed-name accounts." He stressed that the establishment of a pan-governmental crackdown body is essential to crack down on them effectively. It also proposed a thorough recovery of profits from illegal gambling organizations. In other words, tens of millions of won in fines are too light for these organizations that earn hundreds of billions of won.

The government's opaque horse industry policy is shrinking the horse industry's economic outlook and foundation, and the impact of our funeral industry is significant, and the funeral industry businesses and workers are also worried about the future industry's prospects. In order to dispel the concerns of farmers and horse industry-related workers, continuous support for the horse industry promotion policy, which has already been firmly established as the government's agricultural policy, is more urgent than ever. In 2018, we look forward to realizing a more active horse industry promotion policy so that the domestic horse industry base and rural horse industry conditions can be improved and actual income growth can be achieved for horse industry workers.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced in September 2017 that the government has been losing trust in the government and disappointing farmers and horse industry workers to delay the establishment of the second five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is stipulated by the law, without providing clear reasons for policy changes. In the absence of the announcement of the second five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Korean Horse Association's Horse Industry Promotion Headquarters announced in September 2017 that it has divided the period into three stages every five years

However, the Horse Industry Promotion Act was enacted in 2011 by the government as an alternative to increasing rural income at the expense of the agricultural sector to strengthen the export competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. It is part of the government's long-term agricultural policy, not a temporary one.The government's "First Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry" from 2012 to 2016 has already expanded the base of the horse industry in the agricultural sector, and as of 2016, the base of the industry has been formed, including 2,278 horse industry businesses, 479 horse racing grounds, and 16,662 horse industry workers.

Last year, Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye, and the election of President Moon Jae In led to a major crisis that will remain in our constitutional history. In addition, North Korea's successive nuclear tests and the launch of missiles such as ICBMs led to international security crises, including the U.S. and Japan, and economic crises caused by China's retaliation against THAAD, and it was a series of national challenges that could not be relieved internally and externally. Perhaps because of such domestic and international circumstances, the comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is the central plan of the Korean horse industry,

Volunteers who participate directly in the classes focus on helping the rider by leading the horse or walking next to the horse. It is said that rehabilitation horseback riding will be expanded and distributed mainly in public horse riding sites in the new year. How about sharing warm hearts and exercising through volunteering? The Industrial Promotion Act was implemented at the end of 2011, and the second five-year plan will be announced soon. I think it will be a timely prescription for the horse industry in difficult situations. Horses start walking and running as soon as they are born, but humans do not show their exact motor functions until well over 10 years later.

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.

At an international symposium to prevent the spread of illegal gambling held for the first time in Korea, experts from all walks of life at home and abroad voiced the need to strengthen the competitiveness of the legal gambling industry to prevent the spread of illegal gambling. From 2 p.m. on the 22nd, the International Symposium on the Prevention of the Proliferation of Illegal Gambling for the Cultivation of the Underground Economy was successful, hosted by Kim Woo-nam, a lawmaker of the New Politics Alliance for Democracy, and member of the Saenuri Party, Kyung Dae-soo, and co-hosted by the Korea Institute for Criminal Policy (KIC) and the JoongAng Ilbo. The symposium was successful with about 600 participants, including members of the National Assembly's Agricultural and Marine Committee, CEO of the Hong Kong Zaki Club (HKJC), Scott Thomas Matthew, former Malaysian Horse Racing Re-decision committee.

However, the task force opposed to the trial opening of the Yongsan branch said, "The trial opening of the Yongsan branch was decided by surprise theft without residents' knowledge," and continued by arguing that the opening of a gambling center that produces garbage, traffic paralysis, drunken people, gambling addiction, family breakdown and violent crimes should never be allowed. Eventually, as the Let's Run CCC Yongsan issue emerged as a social issue, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs held a meeting on over-the-counter sales centers in Yongsan in August last year under the direction of Prime Minister Chung Hong-won. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs instructed the Korean Horse Association to shorten the pilot operation period of the Yongsan over-the-counter sales center by one month and form an evaluation committee consisting of neutral and objective personnel to devise and implement a plan to operate transparently and fairly.

In addition, rehabilitation horseback riding for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder has been shown to have a great effect on alleviating ADHD symptoms. It was easy to see the increase in the expression of opinions of ADHD children, active and pleasant, and social behaviors on the spot, and it was judged that rehabilitation horseback riding could be a new therapeutic method that could be combined with existing treatments in the treatment of ADHD. These achievements have been scientifically verified by contributing to international academic journals. Other researchers in Korea are also applying the rehabilitation horse riding program to various disorders such as ADHD,

This is because the thorny path of the horse industry, which began when a horse was at the center of last year's historical event, seems to have continued this year. It is very sad to think about disabled children who sit on horses and smile happily on them that I met at the scene of rehabilitation riding. Korea's rehabilitation horse began as a social and public interest project at Samsung Electronics Hiking Troupe in 2001. I participated in the operation of the rehabilitation horse riding program with a light heart that allows children with brain lesions to have a different experience as an event, but the rehabilitation effect for children with disabilities was more than expected.

Whether voluntarily or not, racing, where people are dying, should stop. It is human nature that a good racehorse can come out only when people are peaceful, safe, and happy. Fortunately, the "Measures to Improve the Employment Structure of Horse Management" signed last year by the participation of the two major labor unions, the Korea Racing Authority, the Euljiro Committee, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs decided to hold a working-level meeting of the horse racing committee and a joint workshop for horse racing to discuss issues related to horse racing and practical affairs. It is hoped that communication between the horse racing society and horse racing-related organizations will be facilitated and the voices

Seoul Racecourse has improved the working conditions that senior managers and senior workers have been in poor condition over the past 100 years. It's not that I'm not going to work or doing less, but that I'm going to work while keeping the laws, regulations, and systems. It means that the employment, survival rights, and safety of horse managers' workers should be premised, and the Pukyong Racing Authority should also come within the boundaries. Anyway, another year has begun. This year, I really hope that the monster of "horse racing innovation" will be calmed down. Innovation created unilaterally by the horse racing society should be completely nullified, and new innovation measures that presuppose concerns and empathy with the parties concerned should be created.

We will also make efforts to reduce recidivism in connection with the gambling addiction healing center," said Heo Tae-kyun, a psychology professor at Korea University. "In order to prevent the spread of illegal gambling, we need to change our perception. The existing perception is that illegality and legality are viewed as a competitive structure, but it is necessary to recognize that illegality must be prevented unconditionally. "In order to prevent the inflow of illegal gambling from participants, other alternatives must be prepared and the competitiveness of the legal gambling industry must be enhanced," he said. "In Japan, illegal gambling is called gambling and the legal gambling industry is called Gamble," he said. "The legal gambling industry must be developed into healthy leisure, and illegal gambling must be prevented unconditionally regardless of the profits flowing into the legal gambling industry."

Unfortunately, public opinion was formed and discussions were held that the employment insecurity, excessive competition systems, and poor working conditions of horse racing workers triggered by the death of two horse racing managers in Pukyong, should be improved. In the process, the managers of Seoul were driven by the dichotomy logic that because employment is stable and competitiveness is low, they work less and take more salaries. The history of Seoul and Pukyong is different, and the working experience and average age of horse racing workers are not discussed at all, and the media reported the logic of the horse racing society that Seoul is high cost, low efficiency, and Pukyong is low cost and high efficiency, and thanks to this,

Efforts to revive the horse industry, which has yet to materialize the second five-year plan for industrial development, are more important than ever. In May 2015, the company held the inaugural general meeting of the Horse Industry National Forum, a private cooperation organization that encompasses all walks of life, saying that the industry should develop into the 6th industry in a balanced way along with the horse racing industry. However, as this has drifted amid the indifference of related organizations, I hope that the inauguration of the new horse society will be an opportunity to open a new horizon for the horse industry.

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.

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.
