Since then, social contribution projects for the local community have progressed positively.I believe that over the past decade, efforts have focused solely on controlling horse racing, which has hindered the development of the horse racing and equine industries and the contribution to government national tax revenue. I believe that the horse racing and equine industries can develop only by lifting regulations to create an environment where anyone can enjoy sports comfortably, and only then can the Korea Racing Authority’s founding purpose be fulfilled.

Despite these efforts by the horse racing community, various new regulations are being introduced that are not seen in other horse racing countries.This situation is concerning, as it undermines the racing community's efforts to modernize the sport.Moreover, the many stalled and regrettable aspects of the innovation plan for change and reform that the Korea Racing Authority has been ambitiously pursuing are also holding back the development of horse racing due to collective selfishness.In response,we urge the horse racing community to unite in addressing this issue,

Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to CEO Kim Moon-young of the Horse Racing Culture Newspaper, as well as all the staff and officials for their hard work.Currently, Korean horse racing is setting a direction to enter the ranks of advanced racing to make a new leap forward. Recently, the Pukyong racehorse "Triple Nine" achieved a remarkable feat by competing closely with top foreign racehorses in the Godolphin Mile at the Dubai World Cup, one of the world's premier races, while Mainstay secured victory in the Dubai World Cup preliminaries.

We ask many people involved in the horse industry to take interest and participate.I believe that if master's program experts are produced with the active support of the horse industry sector,it will greatly contribute to the development of the industry. We appreciate your interest and participation once again.Professor Kim Hak-shin of Sejong University’s Graduate School of Industry says that for the horse industry to develop,the number of experts in the field must increase.Professor Kim, who has a deep passion for horses,

Gathering entrepreneurs for programs and events is several times more effective than targeting the general public. If these individuals become passionate about equestrianism, they could contribute to its development through sponsorship. The grassroots equestrian competitions promoted by the Korea Racing Authority also have a good purpose, so if they attract businesspeople, sponsorships for corporate promotion could naturally follow.In addition, simply offering training, field trips, and programs for businesspeople at places like Korea Racing Authority’s

Each semester, I participate in a two-week riding experience at the Korea Racing Authority’s equestrian academy. The Korea Racing Authority also seems uninterested in bringing together CEOs and opinion leaders who could serve as pioneers in promoting equestrianism. That's something I really can't understand. Regardless of funding, even offering in-depth programs or special lectures to these individuals would attract many equestrian culture CEO alumni and produce significant results.

Just as business leaders contributed to the growth of golf, they must take the lead in revitalizing the culture of equestrian consumption. It is regrettable that the horse industry shows no interest in the fact that the participants of the equestrian culture CEO program are composed of such opinion leaders. It would be great if they could encourage and support one another for the advancement of the horse industry. Even the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries seems completely uninterested, repeatedly stating in external reports and plans that programs are needed and development

As mentioned earlier, don’t speak negatively of other riding centers; instead, find your own unique characteristics and give them a distinct identity. In the mobile era, simply saying we are the best riding center to consumers who choose everything in the palm of their hand is not enough. What matters more is how much service is provided with the consumer in mind. Since you can't do everything, you need to find something specialized. It is fine to utilize the natural environment of one's own region, or to incorporate tourism and cultural elements such as locally produced agricultural products.

Whether it’s hiring former athletes as instructors, prioritizing horses, or focusing on facilities and atmosphere, it is not consumer-centered. Other leisure sports, including golf, are already breaking away from those past images. Facilities are being developed with the customer in mind, and events, programs, and communication services are being implemented, but the equestrian industry remains stuck in the past.Professor Kim emphasized that entrepreneurs must take the lead in revitalizing the equestrian consumer culture. Just as entrepreneurs contributed to the growth of golf,

In the past,golf instructors would pressure their clients by boasting that they were former players while teaching. However,as golf became more popular and widespread,the market grew and competition intensified.In addition,as consumers’understanding of golf has improved,the industry has shifted from focusing on brands to a more customer-centric approach.The equestrian industry could do better by paying a little more attention and following suit, but they are not making such efforts.These are also the reasons I began studying the major of 'Horse Industry Management at the Graduate School of Industry.

For the equestrian industry to grow and develop, local riding centers must have their own grading system. And they must provide services and marketing that match that level. Relevant organizations should establish standards for industry standardization, and educational institutions such as schools should ensure that standardized services are provided to consumers through the development of active educational programs. Only then can the overall image of the horse industry improve and continue to develop.

Someone who has both skill and reputation. Since it is a graduate program, it would likely be for someone with a master's degree or higher. Some may question the absence of a curriculum. This may be a point of misunderstanding for some, but the basic curriculum of our graduate school is well established. It is well structured, segmented into marketing, services, distribution, facility management, events, and more. They are integrating the 'horse industry' to specialize in this. We will invite top experts in the equine industry as professors to deliver the best courses. For example, in the process of studying regulations,

Horses are the only animals that wear shoes. Shoes are not just a protective accessory; they directly affect health and race performance. At a time when job creation is the top priority, the horse groomer profession, indispensable to the horse industry, is capturing the attention of young people as a promising career.Once dismissed as a tough, dirty, and dangerous 3D job, Jangsa is now recognized as a special profession within the horse industry. More and more, especially among young people, there is a growing view of it as a 'promising career' that others have not chosen.

Endorsed by the village elders, Kim became the youngest female village head in the country and is now earning the community’s trust as a three-term village leader by giving back the profits of Jirisan Piagol Foods to the local area and creating added value.

Although the building was completed at a huge expense, the opening date has been postponed as public opinion among residents has worsened due to the complex interests of some civic groups and political circles, and the situation is being closely monitored.Through community service in the Yongsan area and opening cultural centers, the Korea Racing Authority is working to soothe residents’ public sentiment and improve the image of horse racing and off-track betting facilities.There are no legal defects before the Yongsan branch relocation. As already stated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, since the branch is already operating in the same area, there is no need to seek the consent of local residents for the relocation. Also, the distance from the school claimed by the opposing side is beyond the 200 meters set by law, so there is no major problem.
