As a pledge in this election, he promised to implement policies that put the rights and interests of members first, such as raising realistic prize money to reduce the deficit and improving the system, and measures to prevent the loss of property by confronting them, and plans to carry out new initiatives such as a full reorganization of the new executive team as soon as possible to achieve practical results during his term in office. The past three years have been a time that laid the foundation for the development of the association. Based on the achievements of the past term, we will accelerate the improvement of horse racing infrastructure and create a stronger face-to-face association that leads to true advancement of horse racing. In addition to promoting projects for the development of the association, the government and the National Assembly,

Externally, it sought practical benefits based on communication by supplementing the policy direction of the past, which has not been effective by leaning toward confrontation. Although there is no shortage, it has produced remarkable results for strengthening the status of the opponent and developing horse racing, including the establishment of a 1,200-meter training course, improvement of the race track, implementation of break time for assistants, improvement of massage facilities, introduction of advanced horse racing professionals, and securing the authority to select face-to-face horse racing. I am proud that I have been striving to become a president who runs on my feet in order to substantially solve the current issues of horse racing, which have not been implemented for more than 20 years, one by one. In addition, various efforts have been made to create new values for the face-to-face culture,

We will unite the pioneering spirit and philosophy of the elderly faces, and the spirit and dynamism of the younger faces to sublimate them into the capacity of the development of the face-to-face association. In recent years, Korean horse racing has been in a lot of trouble, with the pain of horse racing innovation plans over the past few years and the government's manipulation of state affairs last year. In particular, it was a more painful and fierce time for the faces who are the largest investors in the horse racing industry and have to sustain the development of horse racing, with a significant increase in deficits amid stagnant horse racing sales and prize money. At that time, he ran for president with a sense of mission to restore the status and rights of the association, which was tarnished even in the face of the wrong horse racing innovation plan,

Just as there is a value that remains unchanged despite the new and old generational change, Korea's facing society has grown with the dedication and sacrifice of the elderly faces who have pioneered the barren horse racing environment, and in succession, the seniors and juniors have joined forces to support the horse racing industry.

Chairman Kang Seok-dae is expected to re-appoint as the new head of the Seoul Racing Authority, a key player in the Korean racing industry, and a new era of horse racing is expected to open. Chairman Kang Seok-dae, who has won a second term with much support from the members of the two sides, will take an inauguration ceremony on March 11 and begin his full-fledged move. The inauguration ceremony, which will be held together with the 26th Seoul Racing Association Presidential Cup, the stage for the strongest sprinters in Korea, and the commemorative ceremony of the 2018 Owners Day, the festival of the two sides, will be held to celebrate the new start of the Seoul Racing Authority under the slogan "New Era, New Leap."

Legal and institutional restrictions play a role in the recognition of horse racing as gambling. It is unfortunate that many horse racing fans are illegally leaving due to betting caps or access restrictions. I think it is a part that the entity should strive for. The mystery analysis competition has additional prize money that can be obtained as a result of good mystery analysis, as there are prize money in addition to the prize money earned from betting on horse racing. I hope there will be more competitions where horse racing reasoning skills are competed rather than the so-called 'money-for-money'. I also personally think that the prize money will become bigger like overseas and the participation of overseas horse racing fans will improve the perception. I have been developing for more than 10 years, and I have studied horse racing at home and abroad, starting with a simple idea,

Each country has different views when it comes to forecasting, but Part 1 countries such as Japan, Hong Kong and the United States take a closer look at basic specifications management and assistant training for both popular and non-popular horses. Since most of them aim to win, factors such as development and operation of riders and assistants play a major role in the outcome. In Korea, factors such as short-term assistants suitable for distance and organization and willingness to win play play a bigger role in the outcome of the race, which seems to be more important. In the first place, I tried not to participate. I had a horse racing analysis agency as a business operator and tried to participate as a test to analyze both overseas and domestic horse racing and update algorithms, but I came back to participate.

For example, if you buy an expensive foreign horse for $1 million, even if you compete in a horse race in Korea and win all of them, you will not be able to find the money, but there will be some people who will pay $1 million to buy them because of the competitive edge. There is no added value in prize money in Korea, so we will turn our attention to foreign countries, and if we achieve an excellent performance in international competitions, we can improve our national prestige. I think the level of domestic horse racing will also increase. The rating system is in effect right now, so we hope that you will increase the number of special races. There is also an advantage of rating through handicap racing, but there are also people and horses who suffer damage.

Those that are currently in mixed races from the fourth grade should be divided into domestic and foreign races. Only then can domestic and foreign racehorse producers live and improve the quality of Korean horses. It is necessary to classify domestic and foreign horses up to the first grade, and to create an integrated mountain race where domestic and foreign horses can compete together in the first grade. In fact, in domestic 4th-grade races, foreign horses are often pushed back when they compete with horses that have won the 5th and 6th-grade races. This is because even a foreign horse with good pedigree is no better than a domestic horse with experience in racing. In addition, foreign horses have to compete with horses that have won from the fourth grade, and if they train too hard to match the competition, they may break down quickly.

This is because there is opposition from within the Seoul Horse Racing Association. The Korea Horse Racing Association, the implementation of horse racing, has also tried to integrate it, and even among those who are familiar with horse racing in Seoul, they say that integration is necessary. However, stereotyped opponents believe that when integrated, Busan horses will take away all the prize money. We need to lift the price limit on horses and maintain that stance. Only then can the quality of Korean racing be improved. Some elders say that prices should be tied again, which is wrong. Then we go back to the old days. The reason why domestic horses cannot be used in foreign languages such as Japan and Singapore is because there are fewer good horses due to price restrictions.

Wouldn't it be better to have a horse run at two places than to have the other person buy a horse and run at one racetrack? A horse with less speed but better endurance than Seoul is more likely to succeed in Busan, while a horse with better endurance is more likely to succeed in Seoul than in Busan. It is a waste and waste if the other side only has one chance to buy a horse by investing a lot of money. Let a horse run in Seoul that is not allowed in Busan, and let a horse run in Busan that is not allowed in Seoul. Only by integrating, the deficit can be reduced. Don't think of it as taking away the prize money. Through integration, the other side can also win the race in Busan by putting the horse in Busan and leaving it to an assistant teacher who manages the horse, and the other side can also put the horse in Seoul to win the race in Seoul.

If Pukyong and Seoul are integrated, they will be able to help resolve the deficit to some extent and improve the competitiveness of Korean racers.In the years-long integrated Busan-Seoul race, horses from Let's Run Park Busan-Gyeongnam have been performing relatively well. The reason is largely due to this. Of course, there is an element of management system, but Busan has a longer straight line than Seoul, so endurance horses perform well, while speed horses perform well in Seoul. However, the integration can also be an opportunity for the opponents, as there are many options for the opponents who purchase and compete for the horses. Currently, except for the integrated race, the Seoul race allows their horses to compete in the Let's Run Park race, and the Busan race allows only the Let's Run Park Busan race.

Attention is focusing on how Chairman Kim's leadership and drive will lead to results, with pending issues such as improving the treatment of managers and the integration of the Seoul-Busan Face-to-face Association at the end of this year. We have included the inauguration interview in a question-and-answer format. The Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Racing Association is a corporation that the first chairman of the Jinyoung Kim made difficult in 2006. At that time, the Korean Horse Racing Authority felt somewhat uncomfortable about the establishment of the Face-to-face Association, but it was made difficult due to the constant efforts of the first chairman, which allowed me to come to the 7th chairman. Former presidents did well, but I think what I need to do in the future is to integrate the face-to-face association between Busan and Seoul.

My wife had no relationship with horses. I met her through an introduction, and as we went on a date and hang out together, my wife naturally became familiar with horses. I bought three horses and went on a lot of dates together, but that's what I've come to this far. I gave my children a ride on a horse date, and they were happy to see each other, and things like that continued. I am grateful to my wife.He hopes that the couple will work hard together and it will be of great help to vitalize youth horseback riding, and he also has a desire to become a role model for youth horseback riding clubs in Korea. Later on, he wants to open a chain store named after our horseback riding club. He will do so passionately as he is called a "young blood" in the horse industry. Choi Tae-hoon, CEO of Yongin Pony Club, expressed his aspiration to open a chain store named after his horseback riding club.

Our horse-riding course does not even receive student horse-riding support, but it is operating well. It is because I played hard. What I felt in the field is that it is an area that has enough potential if I work hard. I started the business with three horses at the beginning, but now it is 23, including medium-sized horses. It explains the process of growing from the beginning to the present. We really ran with our bodies. There were times when it was 50,000 won a day, and there were times when it rained and ruined it. He said he was happy at the same time, even though he burned a lot, 500,000 won was spent. The reason he started like that was because he is now recognized for his efforts, certified as a sixth industry, and helped by the government, it is becoming stable.

There are calls from schools for the disabled asking if they can ride rehabilitation horses, and inquiries about whether they can ride experience horseback riding at vocational schools. I also got a call from Seoul, which is more than 60 kilometers away, and although it was embarrassing because it was far away, I went out more in terms of social contribution than profit. Profit is important, but I think there is a great need for horse-riding companies to lower the wall of awareness of horse-riding and make efforts to reach the public. The most urgent priority is to popularize horse-riding. This is because if horse-riding is familiar to the public, many people will visit the horse-riding site, which is directly linked to the income of the horse-riding site. Structural changes are needed so that horse-riding can be easily spread.

It was 2014, and I think it was helpful as it coincided with the time when the pony opened. It seems that he has accumulated his eyes on horses, how to manage their specifications, and know-how to produce them. Thanks to my parents' involvement in the livestock field since childhood, it was very helpful to see and grow a lot, and I raised and sold horses myself. Soon after, they gave birth to babies. So far, he has 10 Ising babies. We produce more than three animals every year. Among them, there are wormbloods and Hallama breeding, and there are various kinds such as shutland ponies and miniatures. Pony produces and sells a lot like an experience farm. The one that was born by crossing Hallama and Warmblood is really good, so we don't sell it. I'm not willing to sell it because it's a very nice horse. Hallama is being sold a lot at the horse riding center.

He seems to communicate and communicate comfortably because he is a young businessman and close to his parents. While I was thinking about what to do before graduating from college, I thought about the 'children's horse riding business using pony'. Since I was young, my father has no qualms about raising animals because he runs a farm where livestock such as deer, pigs, and goats are raised, and the horseback riding I learned as an elective in college became a connection. The horse-riding instructor praised me when I saw that I learned horse-riding the same way, but I learned it faster than other friends. And at the time of the third season, the instructor even told me that he would like to help me work in the horse-riding field. While preparing for the university graduation presentation,

As we received a meaningful award, I will understand it with the sound of working harder, and I will work hard in my position to develop the horse industry. First of all, we receive a lot of educational inquiries from nearby kindergartens and schools. General customers who first visited our horse riding club felt great satisfaction with the program and spread a lot of word of mouth. When word of mouth went viral among parents, inquiries were made one after another, and when demands for horse riding programs were gathered at a certain scale, kindergartens or schools led to group inquiries. In addition, it played a role in promoting not only through word of mouth, but also through SNS and parenting communities. It seems that useful information related to childcare and education was indirectly promoted because there was a culture shared among parents.

The business feasibility of what industries will take place there was not close to the public except for the creation of a large reclaimed land called Saemangeum. No industry is guaranteed to succeed no matter what industry goes into it. The Saemangeum Development Administration says that it can be a land of opportunity for the horse industry and talks about the charm of Saemangeum. The world-famous developed horse racing countries have large grasslands and have excellent training conditions. No matter how good the horse is, development is impossible in the end unless the infrastructure is in place to foster and train it. Then, is there a place to do it on Korean soil? There is no place to do it on Jeju Island. In that sense, Saemangeum appears to be a land of potential. Saemangeum is a reclaimed land,

Even from the perspective of producers who actually produce racehorses, they are not satisfied with buying and using racehorses themselves. In order for Korea's horse industry to develop and create a horse industry that can satisfy workers in the horse racing industry, I think the most important thing is to produce good horses in the end. The racehorse production industry itself is lagging compared to foreign countries, and the quality of horse racing itself is falling compared to its external growth worldwide. At the moment when there was a demand from production farmers to overcome this, and what is needed to produce good horses, Seol Hoon, chairman of the Agriculture, Food, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Committee, and Kim Han-jung, a lawmaker, led the policy debate.

Members of the Korea Racing Authority have been producing racehorses for about 25 years so far. It has been produced really hard and it is the same now. I can't actually help you with racing, but we'll be faithful to that role because it produces and supplies good horses. Please pay attention to domestic horses, too. I don't have much hope, and I want to produce horses that win the presidential boat among domestic horse races. In the reality of domestic racehorses,

Until domestic horses become more competitive, the mixed race with foreign horses should be delayed. The mixed race was initially decided to introduce only the first and second groups and expand it based on market conditions, but there are cases where foreign horses run to win in the fifth group. That is really dangerous, though. And while the price restrictions on foreign horses have been lifted and expensive horses have come in to win the championship, too big a change in the prize money system is not possible. According to the current prize money system, 57% is given to the first place and the rest is rarely received. If this prize money system continues, domestic horses' competitiveness may decline sharply, causing real trouble. No matter how honorable they are,

In addition, if we cannot stabilize breeding fees, there is a problem in this regard that the breeding fees are running throughout the world on the seedling ranch. Since it is still difficult and immature to produce seedlings in Korea, the biggest problem is how to manage and operate seedlings. I hope the auction system will be improved. At horse auctions held abroad, the successful bidder is all responsible for the moment the successful bid is won. In Korea, however, there are still many areas where farmers are responsible for the three to four days after the successful bid. Buyers have to take a close look and purchase as well as sellers, but the structure is like this, so there is a difficult aspect. Various efforts are being made to reduce defects, such as pre-X-rays, but in an environment where the cancellation is too easy

Just as a new wind of upheaval is blowing in any industry worldwide, the trend facing horse racing is also changing. Like the saying that you see as much as you know, you must know and study horse racing. It's time for us to be able to respond to changes and increase our competitiveness. I think it will be more difficult to speak out than now if we continue to leave it to the assistant teacher and let him do it on his own. Paying attention to your ancestry, developing an eye for choosing your own horses, and checking the condition of the racehorse like your own child will certainly lead to your grades. You shouldn't be too greedy, but within the line of maintaining the dignity and authority of the other person, you should take care of both the honor and the practicality of the other person.
