In particular, since the establishment of infrastructure to revitalize horseback riding is also an important value, he said, "We believe that not only horse racing but also the horse riding industry must grow together to complete the development of the horse industry in a true sense."Before restoring trust to the public, he said, "The first priority is to create an organizational culture that trusts each other," and he promised to do so because the most important value to implement this is fairness in personnel management as the head of the Korean Racing Authority. "We will protect the trust of the organization through fair personnel management and deploy personnel at the right place according to our capabilities," Chairman Kim Nak-soon said. "Fair personnel management will be the trademark of Kim Nak-soon. Please keep an eye on her."

Three regions in Gyeonggi Province and five in North Gyeongsang Province formed a consortium to apply for the designation of the special zone, and the Gyeongbuk region, which scored the first place, was designated as the second special zone for horse industry, and the Gyeonggi region, which scored the second place, was designated as the third special zone. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Gyeongbuk region is considered to have favorable conditions for revitalizing the horse industry by introducing and distributing breeding horses led by local governments through its own horse industry promotion project. In particular, Gumi City, Yeongcheon City, Sangju City, Gunwi County, and Uiseong County (4,582㎢), designated as the second special zone, are well-established areas with infrastructure to foster the horse industry by attracting horse racing parks and securing a number of professional manpower training institutions.

It was a time when I studied normally and prepared for college entrance without knowing the job of jockey. I came across a horse racing official who was a university professor at the time, and he recommended me to be a jockey. Since then, I have been interested and got information and prepared for it. In May 2005, I joined the Seoul management company. I had dreamed of becoming a jockey before, but seeing him drive horses around Gyeongju-ro while working as a manager made my dream all the more desperate. I'm so happy to be on the stage of my dream. My acquaintance suggested that I try it because he has a job as a jockey because he is smaller than my age. That was when I was in middle school, so I had a dream a little early on. Watching me preparing, my parents also cheered me on for walking this path.

Above all, he emphasized that he would love and trust the Korean Horse Association organization indefinitely, and said, "We can be loved enough depending on how we do it."The two tasks of the Korean Horse Association that 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, passion, and beliefs of the executives and employees of the Korean Horse Association. He emphasized that the best path and the focus of the Korean Horse Association is to return to an institution that is faithful to its purpose of establishment, he said,

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 corporation subject to public distrust, criticism, and deep-rooted evil, he said he would not hold people accountable for any reason. It was not the problem of the entire Korean Racing Authority, but the problem was the manager who claimed to be a puppet and some of his followers who used it as a tool for his standing. However, not everyone should be proud.

Looking at the unprecedented situation, such as the postponement of the CSAT due to last year's Pohang earthquake, the horse industry has not had a strong production base and is designed to withstand the thought that it could collapse in a moment. We look back on Korea's horse industry policy once again, and we hope that the completion of Part II and the era of natural Part I will come with the production of domestic horses that surpasses foreign horses thanks to the establishment of policies and investment that can develop co-prosperity. We sincerely thank the horse racing fans who always give us a lot of love for domestic horse racing, and we will do our best to produce faster and stronger horse racing horses through improvements such as replacing excellent seed horses thanks to your interest and support.

The Year of the Golden Dog in the Martial Arts 2018 has emerged vigorously. I wish you all good health and blessings in the wake of the strong spirit of the rising year. Last year is remembered as a very eventful and difficult year, from the earthquake and the end of the year to the 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. As the horse racing industry experienced a series of deaths from horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and the rare occurrence of special labor supervision, the horse racing industry as a whole seems to be cold and exhausted. I hope that 2018 will be a year when all these things are spent in the oil refining year and turned around with a new beginning like a new sun of hope,

Hwaseong City applied to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs for 2,504 square meters of eco-farmland, which will be built in the Hwagong intersection of Mado-myeon and Sinseo-myeon, as a candidate site for the Mal Industry Special Zone. However, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs excluded Hwaseong City from the candidate site because it is unclear whether the project will proceed even if the special Mal Industry Zone is designated because Eco Farmland has not been in progress for nearly 10 years.Sangju, Gumi, Gunwi, Uiseong, and Yeongcheon in Gyeongsangbuk-do, where five basic local governments formed a consortium from the application, had their own basic business plans or designation requirements for the designation of a special Mal industry zone, but were eliminated from the candidate site because sales were expected to be small after the designation of a special Mal industry zone.

Since then, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has immediately started applying for re-designation, and it was widely expected that it would be difficult for each local government to meet the demand level.At that time, the three local governments, which had applied for the designation of the Mal Industry Special Zone since late 2014, complained that the standards of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs were too high as the evaluation results were low despite the application requirements presented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. At that time, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs concluded that all candidate sites were not suitable for the designation of the Mal Industry Special Zone after conducting business plans, on-site inspections, and presentation review of the applicants.

Specifically, the government should focus on expanding demand for the horse industry and creating a foundation for the horse industry, as well as creating a horse industry complex to strengthen the competitiveness of the horse industry and revitalizing the horse industry special zone. In addition, the government should strengthen its capabilities not only to create a foundation for the production and distribution of horse meat, but also to cultivate professional manpower in the horse industry and to promote horse racing. Words are a symbol of wealth, power, and happiness. I ask that you all be with me in making a happy Korea with horses. Finally, I hope that 2018 will be a year of martial arts full of health, happiness and peace for all the people of Korea, the Horse Industry Journal and the Korea Horse Industry Association.

Although Korea now has about 30,000 horses, if you look at the history of Goryeo, you can see the record of having 1 million horses during the Goryeo Dynasty. This tells us that Korea was a horse powerhouse in Central Asia and around the world. Horse experts also evaluate that Korean guahamas, or Jeju horses, are much stronger than Mongolian horses. Given that not only citizens but also many foreigners showed interest and reaction to the Eurasian Altai Cultural Exchange Exhibition, which was held at Gwanghwamun Square in 2017 with the Seoul Horse Industry Association's "Seoul Horse Culture Festival," I am confident that the horse industry can become a major policy of Korea like K-POP. Like many Korean stars who have shone in the Republic of Korea, such as Kim Yu-na, I have no doubt that Korea's horse industry will spread all over the world.

When I become a candidate, I take a lot of tests in the early days, not tests. There are a lot of hard workouts, but one day I was so stressed that I thought about running away with my friend, who is now a Pukyong jockey. I think I was able to stand on the race track like this because I didn't go out then. Same here. The occasional evaluation of the standing test and horse riding skills was literally conducted from time to time, but I think I endured it with the determination that I really had to survive. If you don't meet the criteria in this evaluation, you will be discharged, but so many friends went out. Seeing the backs of my friends made me feel sad and heartbroken.

I am learning a lot from Teacher Shin Sam-young's Mabang. The best thing about our Mabang is that our family members are so close. When I enter the Mabang, I feel that they are taking good care of me, who is still unfamiliar with everything, so I feel warm in my heart. My uncle was a jockey, so I came to the racetrack and watched horse racing since I was very young. Although I was young, I was fascinated by the horses and riders I saw at the time, and I think I naturally dreamed of becoming a jockey. Originally, I spent eight years in Myanmar with my brother. I studied English while attending an international school, but when my brother left for the United States, I came back to Korea. In Korea, I entered Masago and dreamed of becoming a jockey. Riding a horse was so fun and attractive.

They have made great efforts to overcome the existing misconception that only a few people can enjoy horse-riding. In order to popularize horse-riding sports and expand the base, events large and small were planned and held every year, and they approached citizens with various cultural festivals to enjoy themselves and share themselves. The Korea Federation of Horse Industry, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korean Horse Association, which are the central pillars of horse-riding policies, always strives to ensure that the government's horse-riding policies can become hope for the people. Korea is the first nation in the world to achieve economic and political miracles in 70 years. Do you know that Genghis Khan was originally a descendant of the Korean people?

After about four months of implementation, various opinions are emerging on the rating system and mountainous integrated racing. The racing system transformation TF said it has announced the above policy after analyzing the results during the above period and determining that domestic horses are still somewhat lacking in competitiveness compared to foreign horses. Initially, it was decided to readjust in accordance with the purpose of improving the quality of horse racing by strengthening the competitiveness of domestic horses. The adjusted rating will be applied from the first week of July. Attention is focusing on the results of the integrated race between domestic and foreign horses following the rating adjustment.

I hope you achieve everything you wish, and I wish everyone in the horse industry a busy and exciting year, especially as the sound of horse hooves shaking the earth and earth vibrates again. Looking back, the past year has been a very difficult and difficult year. The hard work that has been done for many years has collapsed overnight, and in particular, the image of the horse industry, including horseback riding, has been greatly undermined, the number of citizens visiting the horse racing course has decreased, and people have been criticized for not doing anything wrong. It is said that risks and opportunities coexist in crises. Taking lessons from the fact that we must join forces to show unity in times of difficulty, we gathered together to form the National Horse Racing Authority, a corporation, and made a strong start.

This is an industrial activity that helps livestock farmers generate income and a movement to convey health to the public. 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.

Perhaps that's why there were heated candlelight vigils and major changes in the country. Unfortunately, at the center of the news, the horse industry, among others, appeared to be carrying bad images of horse riding every day. An incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, which forced many people, including myself, who ran the actual horse racing course, to overcome very difficult times. The first comprehensive plan for the horse industry has come a time of unforeseen trials for the Korean horse industry, which was growing rapidly, but in some ways, I think it has provided an opportunity to publicize the unfamiliar area of 'horse riding' to the public. Of course, it has created a very bad image to be successful through noise marketing, so it will take great effort and time to recover.

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, the development and production of excellent Korean-style horseback riding will take place naturally, and the livestock farmers' FTA alternative livestock policies originally intended by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will succeed.

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.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced in September 2017 that the government has been losing trust in the government and disappointing farmers and horse industry workers to delay the establishment of the second five-year comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is stipulated by the law, without providing clear reasons for policy changes. 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 200,000 horse-riding populations.

However, the Horse Industry Promotion Act was enacted in 2011 by the government as an alternative to increasing rural income at the expense of the agricultural sector to strengthen the export competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. It is part of the government's long-term agricultural policy, not a temporary one.The government's "First Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry" from 2012 to 2016 has already expanded the base of the horse industry in the agricultural sector, and as of 2016, the base of the industry has been formed, including 2,278 horse industry businesses, 479 horse racing grounds, and 16,662 horse industry workers. The growth of the horse industry was driven by the government's policy to foster the horse industry,

I would like to thank the horse owners for their support, the riders for riding well, and the Mabang family for their hard work. Above all, I would like to thank the horse most for running well. Since there were so many experienced and powerful opponents, we discussed a lot with the Mabang family to find a way to make up for their weaknesses. In particular, I asked the rider Song Jae-cheol to endure until the middle and push hard at the end, but he ran the race so calmly like an old man, and there was a good result. We plan to prepare for the future course after sufficient preparation according to the horse's health.

Last year, Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye, and the election of President Moon Jae In led to a major crisis that will remain in our constitutional history. 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. Perhaps because of such domestic and international circumstances, the comprehensive plan to foster the horse industry, which is the central plan of the Korean horse industry, has not yet been finalized for various reasons,
