Park then wrote an autograph on Cho Tae-hyun's uniform with the phrase "National team, you can do it," creating a friendly atmosphere.The interview is about Cho Tae-hyun, who is pursuing his dream every day to participate in the Olympics, and Park Sang-young, a fencing player who supports his dream. Holt School students who came to the scene to cheer for Cho Tae-hyun are creating emotional communication and stability among students through the healing horse riding program. If I saw it meaninglessly, I could have thought that it was just catching fire, but the moment I ran with the torch, I got goosebumps all over my body. I felt like I was really starting the Olympics, and I also felt the excitement I felt two years ago. I also felt the pressure of the athletes who are practicing to participate in the Olympics and I felt the complicated emotions.

In the fourth race of the Sunday race on January 12, the No. 4 "Dixibani" and the No. 6 "Clay Shot" ranked first and second in popularity in the race, but after a fierce preceding race from the beginning, they ranked sixth and ninth. The referee of the Horse Association judged that it was an "unnecessary preceding competition" after deliberating on the situation and imposed suspensions on Kim Hye-sun and Kim Tae-hoon on the 4th and 2nd, respectively. The judges of the Horse Association said that as a result of a comprehensive analysis of the race screen and the statements of the athletes, the results of the race were not good due to the exhaustion of the physical strength of the two horses from the start to the middle of the race while Kim Hye-sun and Kim Tae-hoon competed with each other for good deeds, and that Kim Hye-sun was disposed of on the 4th and Kim Tae-hoon was disposed of on the 2nd, considering that he was a trainee who lacked experience.

Among them, Cho Tae-hyun, who dreams of becoming a national equestrian athlete on behalf of the horseback riding world, drew attention as a runner. Cho Tae-hyun, who played as a torchbearer on the day, was running with Park Sang-young, a gold medalist in fencing in the Rio Olympics, and was seen chanting "I can do it." Students and parents from the same school came out to the scene of the Seonghwa Bongsong to cheer for them. It was like enjoying a festival of people around the world, waving banners and cheering sticks. Choi Myung-an, a teacher at Holt School who teaches Cho Tae-hyun, said, "It is an honor for my teaching student to participate in an international event, and I hope he will be a great friend based on today's feeling even after graduation.

The new opening of over-the-counter sales centers in Wonju, Gangwon Province, in 2007 and Suncheon, Jeollanam-do in 2011 was canceled due to residents' opposition. The Seocho branch in Seoul, which was pursuing the relocation, went to court, but it was finally canceled in 2012. The Mapo branch in Seoul was operated until 2009 as it was included in the purification zone after the School Health Act was revised in 2007 and was closed. The Seongdong branch in Seoul, which was operated until 2011, was eventually closed due to problems with the building owner during the relocation process. In addition, the relocation and remodeling plans of the Yongsan branch and the Daejeon branch are still struggling, and the promotion of the Malmunhwa Complex Leisure Center in Suanbo, Chungju is also having difficulties.

Unlike the usual rigid atmosphere, the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony was due to the expectation that he was the first horse leader appointed by the Moon Jae In government, and there were applause during the inauguration speech or loud answers to Chairman Kim Nak-soon's questions. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who seemed to have recognized the situation in which his inauguration speech had no choice but to be "dignified," shook hands and talked with all employees in front of the lobby of the main building after the inauguration ceremony. "It is true that there were concerns that he was a parachute and a non-professional at the time of the inauguration, but listening to his inauguration speech today, he seems to be gaining strength to overcome our internal distrust

Since August 16, the Korea Racing Authority and the KRA have negotiated a total of 15 main and working-level negotiations on 110 union requirements and 78 KRA requirements, but failed to narrow their differences, and negotiations were held through mediation by the National Labor Relations Commission on December 15, but negotiations broke down as they failed to reach an agreement, and the KRA eventually reported a strike on the 20th.The ticketing union demanded that the average weekly working hours be recognized as more than 15 hours (transition to employment types) reflecting actual working hours. This is a job in which ticket sales workers, who are part-time racers, only go to work on the day of the horse race to issue tickets and guide them, and they are ultra-short-time workers who currently work less than 15 hours per week because they work two days a week.

On the other hand, he said, "I will fully repay the employees who work hard, are creative, faithfully respond to the call of the state, and contribute to the people's interests on behalf of the state," and added, "Please support and support me generously when I meet your expectations." He also said, "The chairman protects the institution and organization, and the members of the organization trust and protect the chairman. That is what the Korean Horse Association promises to prosper the community." Finally, Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said, "The Korean Horse Association will be different and should be different," said, "Let's all become the leaders of creating a new history of the Korean Horse Association with a confident attitude.

The second task can be concentrated as a response to the standardization of the horse racing industry. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who said that even with global trends, generating profits through horse racing is difficult for the future, mentioned the crisis of closing the over-the-counter sales office. "As a top professional manager of the horse industry, I know that there are some concerns and voices of concern," said Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who revealed his career as a professional manager and a scholar of lectures and research on culture and arts at universities and said, "The CEO realized that the ability to present the right direction and solve problems is the first virtue." In particular, based on his experience as an aide to the first union leader of the National Assembly when the Standing Committee of the Labor Relations Commission

The horseracing union held a strike on the day of the horse racing, demanding a change in wages and employment forms, but there was no major confusion in the horse racing business. The Korean Horse Racing Association's horse racing ticket sales union went on strike after collective negotiations with the horse racing society broke down, and on the 22nd, about 300 ticket sales workers refused to go to work. As more than 50% of the ticket salesmen refused to go to work at some out-of-the-box stores, free admission was implemented at Seoul Horse Racing Park and each out-of-the-box stores to avoid confusion, and all horse racing staff were encouraged to wait at the ticket window and use self-selling machines on race broadcasts. Horse racing fans who visited horse racing parks and out-of-the-box branches ahead of the end of the year and the closure of Seoul Horse Racing Park were found to have performed normally without much fuss, despite a slight increase from the previous week.

As soon as he took office, he said he would quickly begin to investigate each department's work. In fact, he reportedly received reports on each department's work on the day of his inauguration, last weekend, and until July 24. Most welcome news was that he stressed that he would "make sure that all possible areas of work are carried out in a transparent manner," recognizing that "the Korean Horse Association is neither an intelligence agency nor an institution that requires special security." He also said that this is the "shortcut to restoring trust to the public." Analysts say that the remarks were made with the problem of deteriorating the image of the Korean horse racing society and the horse industry, which was triggered by former chairmen cutting off or avoiding some media at the "advice" of some followers.

He also said that generating profits through horse racing is not an end, but a means. Instead of maximizing profit generation, publicity and shareability should now be prioritized, and "our community will strive to become a healthy institution that expects the highest productivity in its best condition." In particular, since the establishment of infrastructure to revitalize horse racing is also an important value, he said, "We believe that not only horse racing but also the horse racing industry needs to grow together to complete the development of the horse industry in a true sense."Prior to restoring public trust, he said that the first priority was to create an organizational culture that trusted each other, and that he promised to do so because the most important value in practicing this is fairness in personnel management as the head of the Korean Racing Authority.

Emphasizing that the only way to apologize and ask for forgiveness is to be reborn, he said he wants to make the day of his inauguration be remembered as "the starting date of a new history that promises and declares to the people that it is a place to be reborn as a horse society of the people." Above all, he emphasized that he would love and trust the Korean horse society organization indefinitely, and said, "We can be loved enough depending on how we do it."The two tasks of the Korean Horse Association, which Chairman Kim Nak-soon revealed, were the restoration of public trust and the handling of difficulties in the declining of the horse racing industry. It is a very difficult challenge to return the frozen heart to a warm gaze, but he stressed that he will surely achieve the restoration of public trust by adding the outstanding abilities,

Chairman Kim Nak-soon was first called as the 36th chairman of the Korea Racing Authority and said it was a personal honor. As with most inaugurations, he mentioned the weather and said, "The cold start is not so much the public's view of the current Korean Racing Authority as the weather," adding, "I am truly afraid of the public's strict order to be reborn with a great sense of responsibility." Although he was branded as the head of a state-run company subject to public distrust, criticism, and deep-rooted evils, he said he would not hold people accountable for any reason. The problem was not that of the entire Korean Racing Authority, but that of the managers who claimed to be puppets and some of their followers who used it as tools of their standing. However, not everyone should be proud.

While the horse industry is rapidly emerging as a new growth engine for the rural economy and national economy, which have become difficult in the year of the horse race, the horse industry is concerned as another red flag comes into the horse race industry, which will be the cornerstone of fostering the horse industry.Opposition parties are again raising their voices against the plan to expand the branch to improve customer service, while civic groups are protesting the plan. In October last year, the organization planned to expand the Yongsan branch of the organization at 40-590 Han River-ro 3-ga to 16-48 Han River-ro 3-ga. However, although the building was completed at a huge cost, the opening date has been postponed as the public opinion of some civic groups and politicians deteriorated.

Last year is remembered as a very eventful and difficult year until the earthquake and the end of the year fire disaster, 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. In the horse racing industry, the horse racing industry, including the horse racing business, has experienced a series of deaths of horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and rare cases of special work supervision. I hope that 2018 will be a year that has turned around with a new start like a new sun of hope, as if we are exiting a dark tunnel. Although the goal of integrating Korean horse racing and entering Part II has been achieved, there is still insufficient support for the improvement

The KRA Korea Horse Association, designated as a specialized human resources training institution for the horse industry at the end of 2012, was designated as a "human resources training institution for the horse industry" in October 2013, and is accelerating projects to train human resources specializing in the horse industry, which was already being promoted. The signing of this MOU is also the result of various overseas training programs that have been pursued so far. In particular, in 2013, it operated advanced education technology for horse training for three months at the Paul Schauquemuller Ranch in Germany, the world's top training center for the production and development of horseback riding, and training programs to learn advanced horse racing education systems at French national and private horse riding schools for three months, respectively.

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. In the process, we systematized children's education to increase future consumption demand,

The over-the-counter sales office of the ticket office has adversely affected the environment of residents and students as it is located in residential areas and near schools, as well as the unhealthy operating structure that produces gambling addicts," said Park Beom-gye, a lawmaker who proposed the revision. "As it is installed in the middle of the city and threatens the residents' right to live, education, and the right to live in a pleasant environment, the over-the-counter sales office should be moved to the outskirts." "We are calling for the relocation of the over-the-counter sales office in solidarity with the residents of Yongsan, Seoul, who are suffering from the issue of over-the-counter sales office," Park said. "We plan to actively cooperate for the passage of the bill with the Saenuri Party whose constituency is Yongsan and seek various ways of solidarity to solve fundamental problems.

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 passenger horse sector has not been made. In order to install rural horse riding facilities, existing farmland must be converted into sports land, but excessive charges for farmland conversion are 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 professional horse producers. If the producer association is activated,

Historically, the year of martial arts is a year when eventful events are completed and combined. It is called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is a auspicious year because it is the year when soil and soil meet and mix with big soil like Musan and liquor. I hope that the Year of the Golden Dog Martial Arts will be a year of hope and development for everyone related to the horse industry. 2018 is also the year when the second five-year plan for the horse industry begins. The message from the Korea Horse Manufacturers Association to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is that if the first horse industry plan was quantitative growth, the second horse industry plan is hoped to develop in the direction of qualitative growth.

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.

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 by 2030 to grow horse industry-related projects and set a budget of 3 billion won to create

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.
