Critics say that when the law on fostering and supporting the cruise industry, which allowed cruise ships on board, was reviewed by the National Assembly, it promised to strictly restrict access to Koreans, but reversed its stance in just three months after the law passed the National Assembly in February. There has already been a discord among government ministries over coordination. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which is in charge of approval rights, clarified that it has never considered allowing Koreans to use casinos on board. This is because the current law prohibits allowing casinos on board by Koreans. As the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries seeks to allow casinos on cruise ships to be used by Koreans, it is expected to have a significant impact on the legal enforcement industry in Korea.

First, Professor Park Geum-ran, dean of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is engaged in various activities related to rehabilitation riding. While serving as an academic director at the Korean Rehabilitation Horseback Riding Association, he will give lectures on creative theories and practical skills necessary for classes through overseas training related to rehabilitation horseback riding. Professor Choo Ho-geun is currently serving as a judge in the horseback riding world. He is still playing as a player. He teaches us the general elements related to horseback riding in class and allows us to experience it. Above all, he is a warm mentor. Professor Seung-joo Kwon is currently an assistant teacher at Let's Run Park Pukyong, and he gives us new news and information through lectures, so he gives us the lectures we want to continue listening to even after graduation.

Now that I am about to graduate, I feel a little awkward that I do not have a tight schedule and plan like I did when I was in school. I think I need constant self-development and study in the future. If I had special know-how in preparing for qualifications, I prepared to become familiar with the test and test site by preparing for writing and practical skills for all certificates related to horses. In addition, I went to the training center recommended by the professors every vacation and thought that I was the owner of the horse riding center by increasing my practical experience. It seems that I had more fun and memorable learning because I studied horse-related laws and horse health management. Above all, I would like to thank Professor Chu Ho-geun for his experience, Professor Geum-ran Park, Jeong-soo Ryu, and Seung-joo Kwon for their professional theories and experiences.

Before graduating from high school, I decided to get a job and attended an editorial design course for six months. After graduating from high school, I worked as an advertising company and freelancer for nearly two years in Seoul and Jeju Island. I wanted to know about horses that I first encountered in Jeju. So, I recklessly joined the racehorse production team at Sung Isidol Ranch and worked for about two months. Working at Jeju Airport, where working conditions were good, whenever I was off, I went to the horse rink to help me work and rode a horse to ride a rehabilitation horse, and I thought I wanted to study horses and rehabilitation horses properly. With the introduction of the horse-riding instructor I knew at the time, I met Professor Kwon Seung-joo. During the interview,

Minister Yoo Ki-joon stressed, "Since each cruise tourist spends about 1,000 dollars, it has the same added value as handling 10 containers." If 3 million people use the casino, it will generate economic inducement effect of more than 3 trillion won (3 billion U.S. dollars) annually. Moreover, if Koreans are allowed to enter the casino on board, the economic effect is estimated to exceed 4 trillion won (4 billion dollars). There are also strong voices of criticism over the ministry's push to use casinos on board by Koreans. The ministry has selected the development of cruise and marina industries as a core task of the ministry since 2013, and has been particularly obsessed with open casinos on board. However, it was buried under the surface of the Ferry Sewol last year, when the first anniversary of the Ferry Sewol passed a Cabinet meeting, along with the lifting decision and the enforcement ordinance of the Special Sewol Act, it was quickly brought up again.

The plan calls for allowing Koreans to use casinos on board on national cruise ships that will be launched in the first half of next year. The National Assembly is also taking an active stance in revising related laws. As Koreans' push to use casinos on board has been made public, opinions are mounting against or against the plan. According to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, the number of cruise passengers in Korea reached 1.05 million last year. Although there are no national cruises in Korea, the number of passengers is exploding. For this reason, large domestic shipping companies are drooling over national cruises. Moreover, if Koreans are allowed to enter on-board casinos, they will be able to board and use casinos in Incheon, Busan, and Jeju, which will be the home port of the cruise, so accessibility will be very good. Eventually, the national cruise business is expected to become a 'goose that lays golden eggs'.

We will also make efforts to reduce recidivism in connection with the gambling addiction healing center," said Heo Tae-kyun, a psychology professor at Korea University. "In order to prevent the spread of illegal gambling, we need to change our perception. The existing perception is that illegality and legality are viewed as a competitive structure, but it is necessary to recognize that illegality must be prevented unconditionally. "In order to prevent the inflow of illegal gambling from participants, other alternatives must be prepared and the competitiveness of the legal gambling industry must be enhanced," he said. "In Japan, illegal gambling is called gambling and the legal gambling industry is called Gamble," he said. "The legal gambling industry must be developed into healthy leisure, and illegal gambling must be prevented unconditionally regardless of the profits flowing into the legal gambling industry."

The reason I asked for an interview with the Horseback Industry Journal is that it is a media company that understands the situation in the horseback riding industry more than other media companies. I don't think I will do any more interviews at the athletes' council. The perception that horse riding is an aristocratic sport has declined a lot, but it is a pity that horse riding is considered bad and sold due to the Choi Soon-sil incident. Not only horseback riding but also all sports and the sports industry itself are on the back foot. It is hoped that not only young athletes who ride horses but also many others will have more opportunities to experience horseback riding. Woo Jung-ho, president of the National Federation of Horseback Riding Athletes, asked for an interview with the newspaper, pointing out that support is needed for athletes' protection and training,

Whatever the group, Samsung and Hanwha, paid 1.5 billion won, 1.6 billion won a year, applied for the association, or did, it helped the players. Horseback riding is an event without government support, so you can't compete without a company sponsoring it, and it's hard to participate in the Olympics.Until now, the chairman's office has been handled by the Korea Racing Authority, Hanwha, and Samsung. Because the company continued to support the money there, the association was able to run and host matches. You might say that 1.5 billion won is small, but if you pay for it every year, the company should be considerable. Although the Korea Racing Authority is said to be a company related to horses, the company's former chairman liked horseback riding, and applied. It would not be easy for Samsung and Hanwha to take over the chairman's office of the Horse Racing Authority in another company that has nothing to do with horses. We are athletes.

Most athletes start exercising with the ambition of winning medals in the Olympics and Asian Games. I don't think I'll just go to college while riding. Students who go to college and compete in the next Asian Games will participate in school classes and exercise with the dream of trying out for the next Asian Games. In preparation for the Olympics, he applied from various fields, starting with the off-season training. Because Samsung spent money and provided support for the development of horseback riding, we were able to participate in the Olympics and Asian Games and win a medal. After the Olympics, we can go out and guide other athletes and deliver their know-how, which is huge. All horseback riders know that Samsung has developed a lot in horseback riding. No matter how much sports you wear only panties and hold shoes, development is difficult without sponsors.

As a result, the International Symposium to Prevent the Spread of Illegal Gambling, which will be held for the first time in Korea at a timely time, will be a meaningful time, and we hope that this symposium, in which a large number of domestic and foreign experts participated, will serve as a venue for practical discussions on the management of illegal gambling in Korea. We will listen to the good opinions of experts presented through the international symposium and try to reflect them in the legislature," he said, announcing that as the illegal gambling industry flourishes, funds that will be returned to society through the HKJC are being used as funds for criminal organizations. The reasons for the popularity of the illegal market include high refund rates, rebates, and credit betting, competitiveness that is far from the institutional gambling industry, securing technology levels to avoid crackdowns, and aggressive marketing.

How good is it for us to ask the equestrian for an apology from the president? And I fully understand the news conference about the fact that they suffered damage due to Choi Soon-sil. Isn't it unfair from their point of view that executive director Park Won-oh came down and said something while the referee was watching? I hope that one person, Jeong Yu-ra, will not harm Amon's special athletes. Most of the students exercise since they were young and still take time out of school. All special athletes don't do it like Jeong Yu-ra. I have a friend who goes to college among the students I teach now. I go to Hanyang University, but I can't come today. Tomorrow, he takes classes, and he comes to exercise after 3 p.m. He takes classes, and he comes to exercise even if it's late in the afternoon. Most of them are like that. Few athletes quit school.

Park Sung-ki, secretary-general of the Gambling Industry Integrated Supervision Committee, emphasized the need for budget, organization, and cooperation to crack down on illegal gambling. "There are investigations that the regulation of legal gambling projects is not helping to eradicate illegal gambling at all," said a professor of criminology at Kwangwoon University in Jonghwa Lee, and Hong Deok-hwa, head of the Citizens' Coalition for Addiction Prevention, said, "If we block the illegal gambling market worth more than 100 trillion won, we can also solve the civil servants pension." "The number of online gambling games is on the rise recently," said Cheon Ki-hong, a prosecutor at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office. "The prosecution will continue to crack down on the underground economy, and will make efforts to prevent illegal gambling by recovering online profits to block the source of game manufacturers and suppliers."

This is the part that demanded the resignation of Samsung, the current chairman of the Horse Racing Association. The players are grateful for the fact that a large company called Samsung supports them as the chairman of the Horse Racing Association. Horse racing is an unpopular sport, but it has invested in and contributed to the development of Korean horse racing. If Samsung steps down from its chairman's position right now, how will the horse racing association operate right away and how will next year's competition be held? It is nonsense to just demand Samsung's resignation without any countermeasure. He did not think about our horse-riding athletes and horse-riding people. What they said at the press conference was not all of us horse-riding people, but as victims. They are not integrating the opinions of all horse-riding people.

Even at the Gold Coast I horse auction held in Australia earlier this year, more than half of the staff came out on behalf of the ranch. "It's a mystery to us that women think about doing horse work," said Baramool Stud's female manager, who was interviewed by this newspaper at the time. "Strong and not strong, it's not the difference between women and men, it's just the difference in personal ability." "Women in Australia are strong and have a mental strength that is second to men," he said. "I've been with horses since I was very young, and I started ranchers in earnest when I was a teenager, but I've never had much trouble." Finally, he stressed, "The important thing is my mindset of how well I know horses and how to treat them sincerely.

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, and the goal became deeper. On the other hand, in a country where the horse industry has become more common, horses are being raised as if we are raising pets such as dogs and cats. There is no way that there is a distance between horses and women. Australia, famous for its high women's rights, has mostly been friends with horses from a very young age, regardless of whether it is men or women. Rather, women often stand out in the horse management industry.

When asked why the horse industry is not well promoted to the public today because he was a former executive of the Korea Racing Authority and took the lead in innovating and promoting his image, Professor Cho Jung-ki said, "To succeed in the horse industry, the public and private sectors must cooperate. The government is leading the horse industry as part of its livestock policy, so it may be limited. I hope the government will listen to and listen to the horse industry workers widely." In particular, people who entered the industry informed that they have a goal to make money, and they said that it takes time and effort to improve their awareness. For the horse industry to develop, both the government and officials had to think a lot. Nevertheless, he stressed that "the horse industry will undoubtedly develop.

In May last year, he also introduced an episode in which the government, the Korean Horse Association, the Korea Forest Service, and Gangwon Land signed a business agreement to establish a mountain horse riding culture. Since last year, he said he has explored the area one by one to develop a horse-riding tracking course using the Untan Road, which carried coal, in order to revitalize mountain riding in winter.

Representative Kim Woo-nam, a co-host, said in his opening speech, "The tax revenue and funds of the legal enforcement industry over the past decade amounted to 19.9124 trillion won and 20.4598 trillion won, respectively. The side effects of the legal enforcement industry require close management and control by related agencies, the government, and the National Assembly, but the legal enforcement industry also contributes greatly to the national government. The problem is that as illegal gambling is becoming more popular, the positive effects of legal enforcement projects that contribute to the national finance are fading. The scale of the illegal enforcement industry announced by Korea University's industry-academic research team in 2012 was estimated to be 75.1474 trillion won, but illegal gambling has been voiced, so there is a limit to grasping the actual market size and its side effects.

Thank you for telling me a lot about the importance of hill states. In the future, I plan to introduce hill states in Pukyong as well. However, it takes time to make one. As far as I know, it was said in the past that a treadmill can produce a hill-based effect, but to achieve a similar effect to a hill-based one, how can you use a treadmill? On July 6, a question-and-answer session was held with massage officials, including assistant teachers and veterinarians. Many massage officials attended and asked questions that they had been curious about. This is both true and wrong. Strong horses never have small hearts. When strong horses' hearts were later determined, their hearts were all big. When the heart is large, it certainly has excellent cardiopulmonary function. A Thoroughbred heart weight usually accounts for 1% of its weight, weighing about 5 kg.

However, if you study the motor physiology of racehorses, you can shed some doubts and focus on making stronger horses because it can provide scientific grounds for why you are teaching these assistants. Cardiopulmonary functions improve when you work primarily on the hills. Children who are good at sports breathe quickly back to normal when they finish running, just like we do when we run competitions, but those who are not good at sports are very overwhelmed. The same is true of racehorses. Running uphill improves cardiopulmonary function, allowing you to breathe stably. Going up the back legs reduces the risk of injury. You can also correct your posture. When racehorses try to run with their heads up, they naturally lower their heads when they are teaching on a hillside.

If Martha understands the principles of exercise physiology of racehorses, it will be able to scientifically understand what changes will occur when conducting training on racehorses. The introduction of exercise physiology does not immediately improve racehorses, but it can provide a scientific basis for why the Martha herself is giving such training to racehorses. The exercise physiology of racehorses provides scientific arguments for their intuition. During this visit, Hiraga Ranch said, "The main use of hills improves cardiopulmonary function of racehorses, enables interval training and reduces the risk of injury." The Martha said they were able to learn specific and scientific training methods during the visit to the Hiraga Ranch.
