Shim Ho-geun and Lee Yong-joon were promoted to deputy directors and deputy directors, respectively. Shim Ho-geun, who is also a reporter in charge of entering the Korea Racing Authority, is in charge of strengthening content in the horse racing industry, while Lee Yong-joon is in charge of the overall horse racing industry, including horseback riding and related industries, focusing more on communication with the field and finding articles.

Racing Media, the only professional total media organization in the Korean horse industry, comprehensively deals with the Korean horse industry, including the internationalization of the horse racing industry and the popularization of the horse racing industry.

During the 2014 Gyeonggi Province Governor's Cup, I dressed up in special clothes and won, so I dressed up in purple again this time to cheer for Pinot Noir. This horse is named after my favorite wine, and I should go for a cup of Pinot Noir with the people who cheered for me today. I didn't expect much, but I think I got a good result because I had consistently experienced racing. The Dong-A Ilbo had a short distance, so I was worried that I might be catching up. I saw that this race has strength because it is a long distance of 2,000M, and I even expected to win the championship. I am happy to win for two consecutive games, and I hope it has brought a little joy to the horse racing fans. Due to the slow initial flow, I decided that the jockey might be able to take the lead and displayed a moving development.

Although I’ve been more busy with business activities lately and have neglected horse breeding compared to before, I am still producing and preparing to debut fine horses, so you will soon be able to meet wonderful horses like those of the past. Please don't forget me and remember me.Diplomat Jeong Yeong-sik said that the prize money he earned through his words was a blessing from God. He emphasized that it was too great a fortune to have it all, and that sharing with neighbors was only natural.

Looking back, we must honestly admit that we are not confident whether we have fulfilled our roles and activities. We are only just beginning to see the seeds of social contribution activities, so expecting a change in public perception from that level of effort is premature. As social contribution activities become a part of everyday life, they should be carried out so that results will naturally follow as they accumulate. We have played no part in blaming those around us.He received more love from his fans than he deserved.

Even now, I feel rewarded when I see so many fans coming to take photos with 'Dangdae Bulpae.'I can't give a clear answer, but I think the members need to lead by example and continue activities that show a good image to fans and the public. It is not right to expect a change in awareness without taking such measures. Since we are not the socially vulnerable, I think it will be completed by looking around and sharing with one another. If we keep this up, Korea’s palm industry could be reborn as a model of a developed nation’s industry.

Dang Dae-bulpae retired and switched to studmills, but he failed due to physiological problems. The indie band also switched to breeding mares and has given birth to their first foals this year. I think they'll debut around the second half of next year, so I'm hoping people might be very surprised. The horses born this year were born with well-proportioned builds. I think 'Indie Band' will also stand out as a stallion in the future. The 'rock band,' the younger sibling of the 'indie band,' also debuted this year as a stallion after retirement and has bred several times.

The existence of the Let's Run Foundation itself is possible because of customers of horse racing. I thought that horse racing customers should come to the forefront in all fields. The Let's Run Foundation also wants to make it clear that the donation agent is the horse racing customer. Korean horse racing has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time in terms of culture, and is still changing to a positive aspect. As the customer level has been upgraded, it is now necessary to inform horse racing customers as the subject who provides financial resources for social contribution projects, not gamblers. Since the Korean Horse Association, which is the parent company, is a public enterprise, the Let's Run Foundation's policy is set by the national government and the mission of the Korean Horse Association. However, the first horse racing in Korea was born to raise funds to encourage horse racing, and participants participated in horse racing to donate.

Just as horses have spirit, when a fine steed is born, it produces unstoppable records. The artist whose anticipation is building is Ryanrok, 3 years old this year, based in Seoul. As a member of 'Triple Nine,' he shares the same paternal and maternal lineage. I’m currently taking a short break, but I’m hopeful that I will stand out significantly starting in the second half of this year. 'Black Sapphire,' who is competing in the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Governor's Cup, shares the same lineage as 'Triple Nine' and 'Lion Rock.

It is intended to revive the spirit that participation in horse racing betting is for donations. When categorizing the types of social contribution projects, there are three stages: one stage where donations are limited, two stages where volunteering is made along with donations, and three stages: donation and volunteer participation and social value creation. Our Let's Run Foundation is currently in the process of transitioning to the third stage. Based on the Korean Horse Association and related organizations, the Let's Run Foundation will continue its active social contribution program using horses and through talent donation by horse officials. A "better tomorrow with horses" is never a dream. The Let's Run Foundation thinks that a world where words make all people happy is tomorrow. Personally, I think I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work as the secretary-general.

Corporate management consists of shareholders as investors, a CEO as the manager, and the organization that makes it up. The same goes for a horse handler: the handler is the investor shareholder, and the CEO is the trainer. Because he is in charge of directing the overall production and leading the team of officials. Whether Ma-joo merely plays the role of an investor or participates in management may depend on his style. I believe one should faithfully fulfill the role of an investor, but some investors even try to intervene in management.

Various factors may have had an impact. It is important to acknowledge that they were unable to establish a stable foundation for their lives, and there is a shared responsibility to work together to ensure that such misfortunes do not happen again. Since Majoo does not directly employ therapists, there will be limitations in terms of roles, but I believe that by recognizing areas where therapists may not be aware, we can indirectly derive improvement plans and help resolve difficulties.Facing each other is also a business. I believe the concept is the same in both corporate management

From the perspective of horse racing betting fans, they may also think that their act of purchasing betting tickets is not merely spending money but donating a portion of it to a good cause in society. Therefore, the perception of horse racing itself does not turn negative. In our country, because these activities are state-led and most of the proceeds are returned to the national treasury, social welfare activities are not directly visible to the general public. Even those who buy betting tickets perceive that the Korea Racing Authority takes all the profits from horse racing.

The Let's Run Foundation, which celebrated its second anniversary on March 18, recruited Kim Hak-shin, former head of the Seoul Regional Headquarters, as the general secretary through a public offering at the end of February. Kim Hak-shin, a 59-year-old native of Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, graduated from the Department of Public Administration at Seoul City University and joined the Korean Horse Association in 1986. Since then, he has served as the head of major departments of the Korean Horse Association, including the head of the public relations team, the head of the horse racing cooperation team, the head of the Jeju business department, the head of the planning and coordination team, the head of the Busan and Gyeongnam regional headquarters, and the head of the Seoul regional headquarters, and retired at the retirement age in February this year.

Macau horse racing is smaller in scale than ours, but has a deep history. It is one of the countries where horse racing is quite advanced. Systematically, there is little difference from Korean horse racing. However, Macau shows a different culture. Macau's face-to-face culture doesn't seem to be about making a living by earning prize money. More than that, the social purpose through the formation of a community is greater. In addition, a culture of leisure has taken root where people invite acquaintances to enjoy horse racing together and socialize on race days.

Kim Jong-kook, head of the Korea Racing Authority, graduated from the University of Seoul Department of Public Administration, received a master's degree from the University of Seoul Business School, and is currently studying for a doctorate in sports and cultural welfare policy at the Seoul National University of Science and Technology. Thanks to Pinnoir, I'm on the podium again, and I feel happy and excited every time. I was very worried that I would catch up because I hit the middle of the race. It is true that he was turning six this year. The Dong-A Ilbo thought the race was over in an advantageous way in terms of experience because of bad weather, but I am very happy that he ran so well today. I plan to manage the horse as much as possible and think about the next race.

Since my donation activities were publicized through various media outlets, I feel that I have been seen as a representative of Korea.Rather than insisting that donations must be made in horse names, I think it is more appropriate to share with the world those who are already somewhat financially stable and have a certain level of income. Famous philanthropists such as the American steel magnate Carnegie and the world-renowned investor Warren Buffett actively donate. They said they believed the wealth they had gained was a blessing from God.

Thank you for always helping me, and I will do my best to repay you with a victory. Hwang In-sung, who majored in law, expressed interest in the conflict of related bills, which is a sharp issue in the horse industry today. Hwang In-sung, a reporter, said, "I want to find out the issues that are holding back the development of the horse industry and highlight them.

While engaging in these activities, I achieved great success and earned substantial prize money, which led me to feel that I should do something meaningful on the same level as my existing public service work, so I actively participated in donations.Although the horses are said to be owned by the owner, I believe the owner's role is not significant in the actual process of earning the prize money. Of course, selecting and investing in horses is important, but I feel that the complex outcome is actually the result of the contributions made by trainers,

It is not merely a matter of a few donations, but through more than a decade of sustained giving, it is also contributing to establishing the right attitude of humility and practicing the spirit of 'noblesse oblige.'
