The Korean Horse Racing Association! The year 2016 is expected to be an important watershed that will determine the future of Korean horse racing. In 2015, the Korean Horse Racing Association pushed for major changes and innovations to reverse the Korean horse racing, which shows signs of decline, but the negative image underlying the society has hardly improved. The establishment of a new Seocho and Mapo branch, which was promoted by the Korean Horse Racing Association, fell through, and the Yongsan branch, which started operation after many twists and turns, had to suffer from strong opposition from some local residents and civic groups. The Korean Horse Racing Association has been making continuous efforts to improve its negative image as it faces a crisis of a gradual decline in sales and a decrease in the number of horse racing people since its peak in the early 2000s. In particular, since the inauguration of Chairman Wise Kwan, the first businessman to serve as the head of the Korean Horse Racing

Hyun said in a statement, "The Korean Racing Authority, which boasts a 93-year history, has faced an unprecedented crisis due to regulatory pressure such as the expansion of over-the-counter sales offices and the full implementation of electronic cards at a time when customers have plummeted 42 percent over the past decade, and sales have turned on red flags." In addition, the Korea Racing Authority has conducted internal reforms over the past year to overcome this crisis, reducing employee welfare to a level that the public understands, introducing performance-based measures at the level of private companies such as top-down draft personnel to strengthen competition, and determining that "race innovation" is necessary due to desperate reflection on horse racing products that have been shunned after bone-cutting self-reflection."

Although the Board of Audit and Inspection is pushing for achievements, and the chairman said in January that he would apply it to all legal gambling industries without exception, he is double-faced in excluding lottery tickets by changing his words in just 15 days." Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan agrees with the call of the times and the purpose of the policy to consolidate the gambling industry. However, electronic cards are an unprecedented regulation that assumes all horse racing customers as potential gambling addicts. There are also many alternatives, such as limiting capacity and using the Internet. A thorough analysis of policy ripple effects should be preceded."

According to a survey conducted by the Board of Audit and Inspection, the amount of illegal gambling, which reached 53 trillion won in 2008, surged by 22 trillion won to 75 trillion won in four years due to excessive regulations on legal businesses, including the total sales system, restrictions on the number of businesses, adjustments to the upper limit of purchases, and bans on online sales. If electronic cards are fully introduced and regulations on legal business become stronger, the number of illegal gambling in 2018 is expected to increase out of control due to the balloon effect. In fact, according to the "Research Service on the Effect of Introducing Electronic Cards on Voting Rights" conducted by the Korea Institute of Public Administration in December 2013, 38.44 percent of respondents said they would use illegal gambling sites when introducing electronic cards among voting ticket customers.

There are also disputes over user human rights and consumer rights violations. "According to the implementation plan of the electronic card, sensitive biometric information called the user's designated vein (the vein at the tip of the finger) will be collected, which could lead to concerns over personal information exposure and users' avoidance of the electronic card recognized as fingerprinting," a related industry official said. "Although the government said it was striving to foster the underground economy, the illegal gambling market is increasing tremendously, and social problems such as tax revenue leakage and gambling addiction are getting serious," he said. "It is not right to regulate only legal matters while leaving illegal matters behind."

To this end, after consultation and coordination with related organizations, the final draft was completed in January 2015 with the goal of raising the ceiling on the purchase of imported horse racing, and implementing integrated racing restricted to the first and second tier teams. In order to come up with the final draft, the Racing Authority has had more than 30 consultations and coordination with the representatives of the horse racing association and the producers' association since August last year. In addition, there were several on-site briefing sessions and efforts to gather opinions. As a result, the total implementation of integrated racing has been limited to the upper tier (1st and 2nd tier teams), and the upper limit on the purchase of imported horse racing has been adjusted from the total opening to $50,000.

In recent years, a number of people have given up on face-to-face qualifications, and at this point when the application rate for face-to-face is decreasing, worries about "what is face-to-face" continue. Can Jung Young-sik, who has been reborn as the representative horse race leader, answer this question? Congratulations on winning the Horse Industry Grand Prize. Due to the sentiment of the Korean race, it is not easy for the horse race to gain such high popularity, and I think you will feel different. I am most happy with the fan vote result. Literally, it is not easy to publicize the existence of the Korean race because it is not well exposed to the media and there are many hidden parts. Nevertheless, I think the reason why you gave so much love is because the Korean language has produced good results and has been frequently mentioned in the media. I am so happy that I have made memorable words from my fans, and I think it is the homework left for me to return the love you gave me. In recent years,

I have been thinking a lot and talking with myself a lot and trying hard. Looking back on 2015, we cannot forget about the filial son 'Rock Band'. I received a lot of attention even before my debut because of the bloodbath. Since the typical horse was 'Indie Band', the expectation of the lineage was sufficient, and I had faith because he was larger and more handsome than my brother. I am grateful that his steps were as satisfactory as I thought and his grades met his expectations. What will happen to the 'Rock Band's future actions? Is it good to look forward to challenges in overseas markets? Since it is not entirely up to me, I am consulting with assistant teacher Kim Young-kwan and making plans. Since there is a rating in Korea, it seems that there is no way to avoid heavy burden. Personally, if you have a good horse, I think it is each other's mission to provide an opportunity for the horse to

Jeong Yeong-sik and Mazu were honored in the Best Magee category at the 18th Industrial Awards. As a result of the fan vote, Jung Young-sik and Mazu recorded the largest number of votes, realizing their high popularity. Jeong Yeong-sik and Mazu earned 1,354,755,000 won in total prize money this season due to the performances of his horses with 'Rock Band' and 'First-class Navigation'. Beyond visiting auction sites and choosing good racehorses, he is also challenging the breeding sector endlessly. Based on years of studying pedigree, he also works hard to find the best combination by introducing excellent seed horses and seed horses overseas. Jeong Yeong-sik and Ma-ji are not the only activities. At the end of 2015, Ma-ji donated 100 million won to the underprivileged at the retirement ceremony of Indie Band, which was considered the representative horse and filial son horse of 2013. He is practicing the Noblesse Oblige himself. Jeong Yeong-sik and Ma-ji, who proved that there is a real way for Ma-ji to go

Meanwhile, Kim Jeom-oh, the ninth president of the association, said, "I was able to come here for three years without any difficulties because of the encouragement and affectionate rebukes from everyone here. I would like to thank the new chairman Hong Dae-yu and the executive branch of the association, as well as the executive branch of the association under Chairman Park Bong-cheol for their hard work and dedication over the past three years. I felt reassured and happy to share the lonely period with them," and added, "I feel sorry to hand over the heavy burden to the incoming chairman Hong Dae-yu. However, I have no doubt that the association will develop further if it is Hong Dae-yu's drive and leadership." He also said, "Now is the important time to play the role of a rower who overcomes the wind direction and quickly moves toward the goal. It seems that the most important value is to be considerate, understanding each other without conflict, and wiping off the sweat of colleagues.

Without a start, nothing will be achieved. Korean racing is difficult. What needs to be done is done. It is possible when all related organizations work together in the same direction. There may be difficulties and conflicts to go in one direction, but I think today's inauguration ceremony is to join forces toward one goal of developing into a world-class horse racing. Let's work together from now on." Kang Seok-dae, president of the Seoul Horse Racing Association, said in a congratulatory speech, "Chairman Hong Dae-yu made a great contribution to the creation of today's Jockey Association, and while serving as vice chairman of the Korean Horse Racing Association, he has made great efforts for the rights and interests of the horse racing teachers. The remarkable growth of the Korean Horse Racing Association as it ranks seventh in the world in terms of sales is the result of all horse racing officials making the utmost efforts in their respective roles. Amid the global economic crisis,

"I will not refrain from doing anything that is not insufficient or insignificant. I ask for your continued support and reprimand." The 10th executive branch of the Seoul Racing Authority consists of Park Jong-gon, vice president of the association; Kim Dong-kyun, general affairs director; Lim Bong-chun, business director; 14; Lee Hee-young, auditor; Park Yoon-kyu, 4; Koo Ja-heung, 7; Seo Hong-soo, 24; Shin Sam-young, 41; Lee Kwan-ho, 42; Hwang Young-won, 47; and Park Jae-woo, 50; in a congratulatory speech, Hyun Myung-kwan, president of the Korea Racing Authority (KRA), said. "I thank Kim Jeom-oh for his hard work, and congratulate him on his inauguration. Kim studied a lot by telling me about the difficulties in the field one by one, sometimes bluntly and sometimes passionately. Thanks to him, many things have been improved. I think Hong has a lot to do," he said. "As Hong said, "The Korean Racing Authority is just beginning. Part 2 is just the beginning. Entering Part 2 is a sign that Korean horse racing

The inauguration ceremony of Hong Dae-yu, the new chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, was held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday at the Korea Racing Authority (KRA) auditorium to announce the official launch of the 10th executive branch of the Seoul Racing Authority. Hong Dae-yu, the new chairman of the association, said in his inaugural speech, "I would like to express my deep gratitude for the encouragement and support that I am lacking in standing here." He stood here with a heavy sense of responsibility for the demands of the times, such as change and development. He has a strong will to challenge the history of horse racing. It is still difficult to predict how Part 2, implementation of international racing, and exportation of racing conditions will affect Korean horse racing. However, it is clear that everyone should make efforts to make it positive. I propose that we start from this moment on. I will start again with myself and the association with the will. As the final producer of horse racing products,

Instead of collecting funds from executives, I think it is desirable for the budget to be officially subsidized and supported by the provincial government and the Central Association to receive verification, conduct competitions and businesses, and generate profits to provide self-funded assets. Only then will it be possible to execute the budget that can develop and help its members. Gyeonggi-do Province is particularly complicated with regard to the integration of the sports community between the association and the association. It would be a burden to take on both organizations (the council and the integration council), but in a way, it is the same thing. I think that the work of the council and the integration council should not go against each other, and that synergy will occur only when they work together. Not long ago, I attended the integration meeting of the Korea Horse Racing Association, but I was framed for something that was not even present. The Gyeonggi Horse Racing Association will form an

The registration and application for participation in the second week of February did not include such collusion, which led to the normal implementation of horse racing. The Korean Racing Authority will continue to communicate and consult with related organizations through the "Racing Industry Crisis Conference" involving all horse racing officials, with principle and patience until the day when the "Misaeng" innovation (proposal) is "complete." "The road that no one has gone, but someone has to go." The second leap forward in Korean racing that we all make together! I believe that everyone's courageous innovation now will bring about a bright future for Korean racing.

We want to discover related projects for provincial residents and members. For example, I would like to consult with local governments and provide institutional support to the people so that they can experience horseback riding tourism like Jeju Island. If the council takes responsibility for such projects and works hard, I think it will set an example for other local governments. As horses will be included in livestock quickly, we will proceed with the project in the form of a report on farming and fishing villages, and we will create a council that will also help our members. Future activities, such as the council's budget operation, will make efforts to lay the foundation for the horse industry in Gyeonggi-do. If councils are launched on their own, national organizations can also be expected. It is time for the horse industry to launch a large organization like the Pig and Dairy Association. When Gyeonggi-do lawmakers planned the budget, other associations came and lined up, but I remember saying,

I really want to find what I can do and what I can do. I always think if there is anything I can do to solve and help people who are facing difficulties together. There is a lot of work to do related to the operation of the council. I have a lot of work I am doing personally, and I am busy, but I want to organize and operate the council well. The first thing to do is the insurance problem. Korea has a wrong insurance system. Developed countries such as France and Germany have separate equestrian insurance and individual insurance. Since it is difficult in reality to change the insurance system immediately, the province, Dongbu Hwaje, and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation signed a business agreement to solve the problem. This is the process of adjusting specific matters such as insurance fees. On April 18, the first meeting of the council will be held, and I would like to deal with the equestrian insurance issue first as a major issue. With the launch of the council, I hope that organizations

On March 31, I met and interviewed Chairman Kim Ki-cheon at the Holsmate Equestrian Club. The chairman of the Integrated Sports Council and the head of the horse industry were elected as the new chairman of the Gyeonggi Horse Industry Development Council (hereinafter referred to as the council) only when the spirit of volunteering was revealed. He was in Japan because there was a Korean-Japanese Association for Human Riding. He contacted me the day before the general meeting and returned home late in the evening. I usually insisted on the necessity of the council, but I attended without thinking because it wasn't me that I couldn't do it, but I was elected suddenly. This position is different from the position of chairman of the sports community. As I was the chairman of the Gyeonggi Horse Riding Association, few people in the sports community were interested in the development of the horse industry. Now that the council has officially been established,

The full implementation of the electronic card by the Board of Audit and Inspection is a legal system that requires charging the amount of money to the card with personal information entered when using all legal gambling industries, including horse racing, bicycle racing, casinos, and lottery tickets for professional sports, as well as sports betting rights (Sports Toto). When electronic cards are introduced, users of the gambling industry are required to charge cash and bet on them after receiving the card, not the current cash purchase method, but are required to recognize fingers (designated veins) in the process of issuing the card. In particular, the recommendation being pursued by the Board of Audit and Inspection is that it will expand to 20% of the over-the-counter sales centers this year based on the full implementation of electronic cards in 2018, and reduce the cash bet to 30,000 won next year and lower the cash bet to 10,000 won in 2017.

He had a firm perception and philosophy about the overall horse industry, which is a rare figure in the equestrian world. He was ahead of his time and had a big picture and an eye for forests to find alternatives to the entire horse industry, not just horseback riding. He mentioned the limitations of the horse-riding club's independence structure, the conflict between related bills, and the pending issues of the horse-riding industry, such as insurance and safety. The self-help system, the necessity of a horse industry cooperative, and the transfer of business to the private sector, which this paper advocated, were also issues that he communicated with then-Chairman Kim Ki-cheon. That's how his relationship with Chairman Kim Ki-cheon began. For him, the perception of the current problem soon led to a solution and alternative search, and now the entire horse industry is publicized and unraveling the thread. And four years later, in the midst of that dream-like reality, he has been elected as the new chairman

On Wednesday, August 22, 2012, even before the heat dissipated, I visited the Holmate Equestrian Club located in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province. When I ran, I met then-Director Kim Ki-cheon at the place where he was said to be a hideout of the club and famous for his horseback riding lessons by former national team instructors. He was humble when he started horseback riding at the age of 45, and burned down the spectacular "late winds" such as the chairman of the Bucheon City Horse Racing Association, the Korean-Japanese National Sports Festival, the representative of Gyeonggi Province, and the chairman of the Gyeonggi Horse Racing Association. He welcomed the reporter and introduced the Holmate Equestrian Club, and he also drove a car and explained the driving course outside the Ttukbang in the neighborhood. What I remember in particular is that he told the reporter the reality of the horse riding industry. Although the bill is about to be revised beyond "publicized" now,
