That's why I started literature. Originally, I wrote poetry in middle school. At that time, there was a magazine called 'academy', and it was the only magazine during the Korean War. Poets were published through 'academy', and they were elected in one or two places. Hwang Dong-gyu and Ma Jong-ki, who are poets, are alumni who were active through 'academy'. As I did this and that for my life, novels became my main focus. But now, people don't read novels, so I don't write them well. People don't read books, so they don't sell and the publishing industry is in recession. When I was young, I used to write with passion and willpower, but the problem is that books are not sold, so they are not helpful to life at all.

Novel manuscript fees are poor, so manuscript fees alone cannot make a living. For such reasons, not only me but also many writers have side jobs, such as attending school to give lectures or serving as an editor of a publishing company. I wrote novels, did this and that, and worked in the movie industry. As I loved movies so much, I started collecting videos, but as it became known, a media company asked me for a "movie column." I had to write a story about what I saw in the movie, but it was much easier than writing a novel. After writing a novel like that, I wrote a movie column for 2-3 years.

October, when autumn leaves start to turn red, is the most emotional time of the year. A collection of poems can be found on the empty side behind the colorful fall scenery. In October, the month of culture, we prepared a project to listen to stories of artists dealing with culture and art works based on horses. First of all, we met Lee Je-ha, a veteran novelist, poet, painter and singer. Unlike other works, he often uses horses, but he uses static words rather than words. I tried to shed new light on the words that he viewed through his creative activities in all areas, including literature and art.

The Korea Cup international invitational race scheduled for the 11th of this month will be held over two races. The Korea Cup, which will take place over 1800 meters, has a total prize fund of 1 billion won, while the Korea Cup Sprint, which will cover 1200 meters, has a total prize fund of 700 million won.Given that next year’s horse racing prize money is not expected to vary significantly from this year, the Korea Cup and the Korea Cup Sprint international invitational races, with prize money reaching 1 billion won and 700 million won respectively, are expected to establish themselves as the country’s premier horse racing events.The Korea Racing Authority’s push to hold an international invited race for the Korea Cup is part of the ongoing efforts to internationalize the sport and is already included in the horse racing innovation measures announced in 2007.

Horse Association by communicating with the media and the public while promoting the human resources development team, the head of the cultural empathy center, and the new business project. When he served as the head of the human resources development team in 2008, he introduced the transparent and dynamic public enterprise awards of the Korean Horse Association to the public through interviews with employment-related media, and when he served as the head of the Siheung Cultural Sympathy Center in 2011, he played a first-generation role in actively promoting the social contribution project of the "market sales office" through media interviews such as local newspapers and magazines.

The implementation of the Korea Cup international invitation race, newly established in 2016, is expected to greatly contribute to improving the horse racing industry’s image from a negative one to a more positive one, thanks to visits from foreign racehorses and officials, as well as mutual competition.Meanwhile, next year the 2-seater series and the Sprinter series will be added, further increasing interest. To increase interest in two-year-old horses, the newly established Two-Year-Old Horse Series will add one new special race and one new special race, in addition to the existing special races for two-year-old horses. Accordingly, the prize money will increase by 600 million won, and an incentive of 100 million won will also be paid for the best-horse. The Sprint Series includes the Busan Ilbo Cup, newly established at Pukyong Racecourse Park, as well as the Korea-Japan Racehorse Exchange Race and the Korea Sprint.

When asked at this year's parliamentary inspection whether he intends to serve all three years of his term, he replied, "If his term is guaranteed, I will do my best within my term." However, after the parliamentary inspection, Chairman Lee Yang-ho, who was classified as a "gujeonggwon" figure as the government started to reshuffle the heads of public institutions, expressed his resignation, and a public offering for the head of the Korean Horse Association began. For the past year or so, the young CEO and communication king who has practiced the vision of the new government as a personnel in the district office and as a personnel in the district office is said to have broadened a new horizon in the Korean horse industry.

In addition, Chairman Lee Yang-ho suggested the future direction for the Korean horse industry in a short period of time, including reconsideration of research climate at the Horse Industry Research Institute, hard work to eradicate illegal racing, diversification of social contributions and group support, and support and cooperation that extended to agricultural and rural areas. Of course, there was also "shade." The horse industry expressed concerns over the decision to close the Yongsan Cultural Empathy Center, and it was embarrassing because successive suicides of managers and executives were not directly related.

Chairman Lee Yang-ho, who emphasized internal and external cooperation with the slogan "Let's help unconditionally, let's help infinitely, let's help what we can't help, let's help before calling" at the inauguration ceremony, has been on the site since his inauguration. Ahead of the Lunar New Year's Day, he appeared in person at nearby traditional markets and children's centers for social contribution events for the vulnerable in the region, which continued steadily during his term. With the motto of "Let's take a step ahead, let's look far and do our best" as a work philosophy, he launched the Future Development Strategy Establishment TF to check large-scale investment projects and improve organizational and manpower operations.

They all agreed that it was a time to reflect on and discuss the common ground of Korean horse racing together.A Korea Racing Authority official said, “The invited countries include Japan, Singapore, and Dubai, for whom quarantine agreements have already been established, and we are also keeping Hong Kong, the United States, and European countries in mind.” The number of invitations will be limited to eight or fewer, and there are no plans to impose any special qualification restrictions. It was announced that a “Racehorse Selection Committee” will be formed to select entry targets not only for foreign racehorses but also for domestic racehorses.The Korea Racing Authority’s push to hold an international invited race for the Korea Cup is part of the ongoing efforts to internationalize the sport and is already included in the horse racing innovation measures announced in 2007.

All employees from 10 headquarters across three regions—Seoul, Busan-Gyeongnam, and Jeju—attended the first-half management strategy meeting. At that time, the 10 headquarters presented their first-half business performance and progress status by headquarters, and held a meeting to share second-half strategies and detailed tasks. In particular, at this meeting, the Korea Racing Authority’s major tasks, such as continuous management innovation and the globalization of horse racing, were discussed.At this second-half management strategy meeting, division heads and department heads from each division took the stage as presenters to review the core tasks targeted for 2015, announce whether they would pursue them, and share the major vision for 2016.

The existing Best Older Female Horse Series appears likely to continue as it has this year, but the 3-year-old horse series is reportedly subject to change. This is because the Livestock Development Fund, which funds the 3-Year-Old Horse Series, is gradually being depleted. The Korea Racing Authority is also considering reducing the number of horses eligible for incentives, but since the funding was originally established based on two male and two female horses, there is concern that if the number of eligible horses is reduced, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs may further lower the amount.In 2016, the number of race days will increase to 98, while the number of races will be slightly reduced, and night racing will be reinstated on Fridays and Saturdays in July and August, the summer months. In addition, the Korea Cup International Ultra-Ground Race, a full-fledged international race, will be newly established.

At the time, the goal was to promote holding an international race in three phases through 2015–2016. In addition, the Korea Racing Authority’s first horse racing innovation plan, which was pursued this year, included hosting the 2016 Korea Cup in its mid-term innovation goals. The Korea Racing Authority has already held the Asia Challenge Cup this year, which was an international race with Japan and Singapore participating.If this year’s Asia Challenge Cup was a half-hearted international race limited to Asian countries such as Japan (with horses from Oi Racecourse) and Singapore, then the newly established Korea Cup next year is expected to become a fully-fledged international race.With quarantine agreements between the two countries now finalized, Japan, Singapore, and Dubai are expected to allow participation, as Korean racehorses have also been able to compete in overseas races.

The current first-grade rating range, which was 101 and above, will be lowered by 20 points to 81 and above, and the rating gap between lower grades will be compressed from the current 20 points to 15 points. The reason for initiating rating adjustments is to narrow the ability gap within each class, making promotions and demotions smoother, enabling the appropriate number of races per class to be managed properly, and implementing races appropriate to each class. However, when adjusting the rating ranges by grade, only the horse’s rating within the current grade will be adjusted, without any artificial promotion or demotion.Starting next year, racing within finely segmented rating brackets will be expanded, and even within the same class, the reduced rating brackets are expected to create races with good excitement, so they plan to increase the number of races within these segmented brackets to further enhance race excitement.

Lee Yang-ho, a native of Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, who was inaugurated as the 35th head of the Korea Racing Authority on December 19 last year, entered public service with the 26th administrative notice and served as the 25th head of the Rural Development Administration, including the head of planning and coordination office at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. After taking the post of chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, which is the head of the horse industry, he drew attention by dispelling concerns about "falling mountains.

Both the assistant teacher and the horse manager may have complaints, but I hope they will make concessions to each other and make efforts to improve them step by step over time. Ryu Joo-young, who wants to be remembered as a good example of facing each other, hopes something good will happen next year, the sixth year after his debut. When we first encountered each other, he said he was in a position to learn rather than make a profit for five years. As he said, he learned a lot by paying expensive tuition for two to three years when he was not familiar with horses, and now he has his own know-how.

Although it has made rapid progress compared to the past, the domestic horse racing industry is still at the level of underdeveloped countries. There are areas that need to be gradually improved over time, and the improvement of the environment of the horse race is one of them. I hope that the horse race society will also make efforts to improve the environment for the horse race. The horse race will make efforts to change on its own, but it may change faster if the Korean Horse Racing Association, the implementation of the horse race, provides factors to change the environment for the horse race. I don't know if it is still doing it, but it shows many horses directly to many horses.

Younghee's Generation" and "Gyeongju's Durebak." I look forward to seeing good results in these words. It may be a matter of solidarity, but I want to be remembered as an exemplary case for those who face each other. Although I paid very expensive tuition for a few years since my debut in 2012, I have spent the first five years that I thought about, and now that I'm getting good grades starting this year, I'm getting greedy. And now that we've met each other, I want to become a top-class man who achieves the highest score.

Rather, it will be not the development of horse racing, but the regression of stepping back. Rather than direct employment, I think efforts are needed to make up for the shortcomings by referring to the institutional system currently implemented in Let's Run Park Seoul. They say that their minds should change first rather than roles. Although they have invested, there are many faces who want to make a profit right away by watching over a certain period of time. Those thoughts are wrong. A lot of improvement is needed. Horse racing development means that the horse society will eventually grow with the national growth, and the Korean horse racing will go to the G1 and G2 advanced horse racing.

Whether it is an assistant teacher or a horse manager, we should gather and come up with the best plan to make it hard to understand why we are going on strike. Everyone did not sincerely engage in negotiations for their own benefit. It is not just anyone who is to blame, but all of them are to blame. The horse society, assistant teachers, and horse managers are all to blame. There should never be a strike. For the development of horse racing, everyone has to make little concessions and come up with good plans to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Excessive interference can create a situation where they touch each other's pride, and mutual trust does not build at all. That's why I tend not to interfere at all. However, there is one thing that can be regarded as interference, and this is the part where horses are fed. I always talk about that when I go to a bar room, I believe that whether it's good or bad, you have to eat well to run well. I leave everything else to the assistant teachers freely. It is up to the assistant teachers to decide who to pick up the rider and how to train them. I don't know exactly why the strike was decided, but I think the strike itself is wrong.
