Horse," a symbol of tough vitality and docility. They have been active in various fields and have walked the history of mankind for a long time. However, there was a time when they were regarded as symbols of men mainly because they were used for pulling, riding, or military purposes. In particular, after the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, an overly closed Confucian culture took hold in Korea, and the distance between women and horses increased. Furthermore, the rumor that "women in the year of the horse are strong" spread during the Japanese colonial era, and it was abused as a means to suppress the passport, deepening the valley. On the other hand, in a country where the horse industry has become more common, horses are being raised just like we have pets such as dogs and cats.

Regarding the pesticide egg scandal, which has become a social issue, we will strengthen the management and supervision authority of the Korea Food Safety and Management Certification Institute and emergency inspections of HACCP-certified farms by revising related laws to improve the overall business process so that safe livestock products can be distributed by canceling certification when harmful substances such as pesticides are detected. We will push for early exports of items that have been suspended due to the outbreak of diseases in Korea, support stable and continuous quarantine of items such as samgyetang, and improve the system for systematic management and support of export agricultural products from production to export,

In addition, for the development of the animal medicine industry, various communication channels were set up, including on-site meetings focused on public-private communication, workshops, and regular operation of visiting civil service counseling centers, and the euthanasia rate of abandoned animals was reduced by improving animal protection promotion and animal protection center operation system. As such, last year, the quarantine headquarters ran tirelessly to create a "healthy livestock environment for animals and the people" based on the efforts of all employees and to realize a "border quarantine that protects the agricultural and livestock industry foundation and agricultural environment.

Since the first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Gochang, North Jeolla Province on November 17, additional outbreaks have caused concern to livestock farmers and the people in Yeongam, South Jeolla Province, and Jeongeup, North Jeolla Province, but with a sense of mission to eradicate it as soon as possible, we have focused on preventing the further spread of the disease and ending it early through precise diagnosis and epidemiological investigations. And as foreign red fire ants were found through preliminary observation at the container yard at Gamman Pier in Busan Port on September 28, we have strengthened quarantine and observation at major ports by mobilizing all available personnel.

Despite various difficult conditions last year, the quarantine headquarters has produced excellent results based on the expertise and know-how accumulated so far. As a prime example, the development of the original technology for foot-and-mouth disease vaccines was accomplished one year earlier than originally planned, laying the foundation for the "vaccine sovereignty for foot-and-mouth disease." In addition, it contributed to the early end of foot-and-mouth disease by developing the world's first simple antigen diagnosis kit for three types of foot-and-mouth disease and applying it to the field. In August, through the reorganization of the quarantine organization,

You've been watching me run hard for 9 years, so he suggested if you had faith in me. At first, it is true that I hesitated with the same prejudice as others whether a woman could speak so quickly, or if my tone was raised with excitement, I might not hear anything I didn't want to hear. After receiving the proposal, I talked while watching a broadcast video of my seniors, and my heart was beating. "Oh, I want to try this." I think I've practiced hard since then. There are not many cases in other countries, so it was simply a battle with myself. It was easy to read because I've seen it while working for a long time. However, it was really difficult to describe and explain the situation in a non-stop and quick way.

In addition, I remember the series that was held under the title of on-site tour. I always feel it while working here, but the fans seem to be full of misunderstanding and distrust because they are betting on horse racing. At that time, it was so severe that I desperately wanted to show them the live scene. I hoped that the sweat, will, passion, and hardships of the officials I capture could dispel any misunderstanding from the fans. It was a 15-minute broadcast made with horses and characters as the main characters, and I think it was a time when I was able to grow up by running around a lot and meeting many people.

This year, the Winter Olympics, a festival of people from all over the world, will be held in Pyeongchang, Korea. In preparation for the Olympics, we will actively support it to be recorded as the most successful Olympics in which farmers and the people participate together, by more thoroughly preventing livestock diseases such as AI and strengthening on-site technical support to improve the livestock environment such as the smell of livestock.You will all remember that the birth of a world-renowned star named Kim Yu-na in winter sports, an unpopular field, made the whole nation happy. If there was Kim Yu-na in the Winter Olympics, we have you in our agriculture and rural areas.

I got off in front of the horse shower in front of the polling station, and the managers were taking a very comfortable shower. I also pretended not to see it as a group. (Laughs) It was a very natural scene at the time because it was an area without any women. Due to urgent news coverage, when I visited the stable on the morning of the horse racing day, a fairly old person shouted, "I'm unlucky if a woman comes." It was true that I didn't feel good, but on the other hand, I thought, "This is fun." It was because I thought that this culture could be eliminated carefully depending on my efforts. I think I've been covering it with my feet since then. As a result, there are times when scarcity of women can help.

We will expand the base for proper rice production and production of field crops through the development of technology for mechanizing field crops using rice paddies, and promote rice consumption by promoting processing industries such as the development of varieties and processed foods exclusively for rice flour. We will develop varieties and cultivation technologies that can adapt to climate change such as drought and heat waves at all times, introduce tropical and subtropical crops to foster them as new income crops, and strive to develop rapid control technologies against diseases and pests. We will protect the people's healthy table by establishing a safe food production and supply system

In particular, the unwavering support and support of the horse racing fans who have protected the Korean Horse Racing Authority so as not to lose the essence and identity of horse racing have been a great courage and strength for our horse racing owners to overcome despair and frustration and get back on their feet. Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the horse racing fans. Despite many difficulties over the past year, Korean Horse Racing Authority has been making ceaseless efforts to achieve a breakthrough in overcoming the crisis. Reflecting on the self-portrait of Korean horse racing, which sometimes lost the value of "win-win and competition," the essence of horse racing,

Despite the unpredictable darkness and chaos, all of our racers have not stopped their great journey to challenge and challenge without giving in to despair and crisis over the past year.Entering Part II, the Korean Horse Racing Association, which started anew as a member of the global horse racing industry, began small changes in the field to strengthen its competitiveness, including the Dubai World Cup away challenge last year, the introduction of advanced overseas personnel, changes in race horse training patterns and the implementation of the break time system, and the improvement of horse racing infrastructure, such as racers' long-cherished dream, began in earnest.

However, assistant teacher Lee Shin-young, who overcame such unfavorable factors to become the first female assistant teacher, Kim Hye-sun, who became the first female jockey to surpass the 100th victory mark, and Lee Geum-joo, who proudly won the invitation race for overseas female jockeys, have begun to break down prejudice little by little. They are proving with their bodies that they are only less exposed to horses due to environmental problems and can show enough competitiveness. In addition to horse racing officials who have accumulated splendid achievements from outside, women are standing as strong pillars in our horse industry, walking silently in their own paths. They are living as "combatants" who take advantage of the characteristics of being "women," not "as women."

Last year is remembered as a year that was truly eventful and difficult until the earthquake and fire disaster at the end of the year, in addition to the nation's anxiety caused by the national manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of the president, and the nuclear provocation of North Korea. As the horse racing industry experienced a series of deaths of horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and the rare occurrence of special labor supervision, I hope that the horse racing industry, including the horse racing business, is generally cold and exhausted. I hope that 2018 will be a year that has turned around with a new start like the sun of hope, as if we are exiting a dark tunnel.

So I kept practicing explaining the surrounding situation even when I was sitting still. Driving was the best practice time. Things on the road are actually no different from racing. "AXTE is going from first to second lane, and TX is trying to pull in from the outside." I aimed to get used to it so that I wouldn't panic or make a mistake in any emergency while practicing talking. It was true that it was a space for women, and the fans themselves had an overwhelming male ratio, so they tended to be boorish. From the perspective of the horseradish society, I was as cautious as that, and I fully sympathized with that point. When the fans fully agreed, I thought it was right to debut, and thankfully, more than 70% of the fans approved it. Rather, the vote became a weapon for me. It means that 70% of fans are on their backs to the broadcast.

Preferably, in order to reorganize the auction market centered on one-year-old horses like developed countries, various support measures and systems should be in place, such as the limited select auction horses and the regularization of special races. Inland breeding horses are using Let's Run Farm Jangsu's grasslands efficiently, and training has been possible regardless of weather conditions on the 400-meter indoor road of Let's Run Farm Jangsu, which was completed earlier this year, and in a special race for the Breeze-up auction horse held at Let's Run Park Seoul on August 20 this year, the inland horses' race power is being improved, with "Icheon Rice" and "Pulling Hands" ranked first and second.

If you come to the inland domestic horse auction held in May, July, and October 2018, under the support of Let's Run Farm Jangsu, you will be able to meet high-quality breeding horses produced and nurtured by producers and Let's Run Farm Jangsu at a foam-removed price, so please pay active attention and participate. With about 3 billion won in incentives for seed horse replacement from the Korean Horse Association, Gyeongju Horse producers spent 7.5 billion won to introduce a total of 179 overseas excellent seed horses in 2016 and 2017. In order to prevent the outflow of dollars for imported seed mares for breeding purposes, institutional devices are needed to induce natural circulation from racehorses to seed mares by expanding the organization of imported mares preferential races.

It is the first piece that I will never forget. Having grabbed 2,000 wins recently, Park Tae-jong became the first Korean horse racing athlete to have 100 wins in a season, and decided to create a special program, chasing after him for a month. He followed him from dawn to evening, putting all his efforts and passion into the program. Park still feels very embarrassed during interviews, but he was shy enough to shoot 100 times just to say a word back then. In the process, we became very close and later jockey Park Tae-jong even toyed with the camera. The process of getting to know one person through the medium of broadcasting made me learn and realize a lot.

The reason why I got to work in the broadcasting field was largely due to the broadcasting class that I accidentally entered when I was in middle school. At that time, I had a variety of experiences, including PD, announcer, and engineer, and I strongly thought that it was something I could do well because it was so fun and suited my aptitude. When I came to society, I saw an announcement that the Korean Racing Authority would hire a female announcer. It is true that at that time, I only knew vaguely about horse racing, but I had no idea about the reality. The thought of having to find a job anywhere led me to take a test, and that's how my relationship with horses began. There were not many female employees in the Racing Authority, but the Martha's Area would have died. There were no female riders at the time, and it was literally a golden girl's area. One day was a hot summer day, and I visited the Martha's Area in a broadcast car for coverage.

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.
