When I came and saw, equestrianism was said to be a so-called sport only for them, so it was the object of envy and envy among ordinary people. Horse racing, rather than being enjoyed for its own sake, has been reinforced with a negative image among the public as a gambling industry and as a symbol of gambling addiction. It is an issue I keep pondering, but there are considerable difficulties in creating an equestrian industry that the entire nation can enjoy together as a healthy horse racing industry

Recently, I even ended up taking on traditional bullfighting duties.As of last year, the first five-year comprehensive plan for the development of the horse industry came to an end. This year brings many complex and multifaceted matters, but it is time to analyze the first plan and announce the second plan. However, there are still various changes in domestic conditions, such as the issue of state affairs manipulation and the need to present a new vision after the new government takes office, so the content is being supplemented.

First, in addition to establishing and supporting a comprehensive plan for fostering the horse industry, there is also a role in guiding and supervising the Korea Racing Authority. In particular, we are also promoting matters related to the sound and healthy development of the horse racing industry, such as the issue of off-track betting facilities, which has recently come to the forefront. I also work with the Korea Racing Authority to discuss the management of special reserve funds in accordance with the Authority’s regulations.

On June 16, we met at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in Sejong Special Self-Governing City and interviewed about the present and future of Korea’s language industry.I met Woo Man-soo, Secretary of the Livestock Policy Division at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, at the Ministry’s third-floor office in Sejong City. Now in his third year in office, he said that although he has so far taken a field-oriented approach, he still feels regret over not being able to resolve many pressing issues, and that he will strive to address them.

A former national equestrian athlete turned businessman, he made a spectacular comeback to the equestrian world after 30 years, becoming a legend in the equestrian world. A businessman who opened the high-end equestrian luxury brand “Vallios Saddle & Style” in the heart of downtown Seoul and is scheduled to open the Vallios Equestrian Club in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province around May next year, is leading various business ventures. At a time when the driving force needed to lead change in Korea’s equestrian world, it was a great fortune to have the opportunity to interview Chairman Bae Chang-hwan, who is like the divine chariot of Achilles in ancient Greco-Roman mythology, Balios.In fact, shameless people still exist who completely change their behavior before and after any article or advertisement covering certain equestrian products or riding clubs.

The fact that what was prepared in 2002, the Year of the Black Horse, could be accomplished 12 years later was also praised for playing a strong promotional role for the Horse Industry Journal.Kim Byung-chun, the leader, has made a meaningful contribution by dedicating his entire life to bringing to light the most fundamental missing piece of Korea’s horse industry—the restoration of fragmented horse culture and the management of its heritage. In addition, while writing a thesis on saddle horses in the master’s program of the Department of Ancient Art Appraisal at the Graduate School of Arts at Kyonggi University, I am also striving to introduce our horse culture and resources to the world.Lee Seung-ryong, CEO of The GL·Gallery All That Horseshoe, has been walking for 20 years a path no one in the horse industry has taken, a difficult path no one has acknowledged.

Meanwhile, regarding the Korea Racing Authority’s listing possibility, the majority of insiders view the likelihood as low. There is a prevailing view that, given the Korea Racing Authority’s monopoly as a major source of tax revenue without government investment, listing it would be practically impossible until it is privatized, due to concerns over the various side effects that could arise from doing so.While most companies’ management strategy meetings are centered around executives, the Korea Racing Authority has, since Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan’s inauguration, opened its management strategy meetings to all employees, inspired by Chairman Hyun’s management philosophy that “all employees must share a philosophy of management.”

The financial authorities announced plans to list high-quality public enterprises starting with the preparation of measures to revitalize the capital market in November.The Financial Services Commission has already prepared a list of public enterprises that can be listed first and has been consulting with relevant ministries, but it is known that there is no possibility of immediate measures being announced at this stage, though continuous discussions are planned to continue in the future.The biggest reason the Financial Services Commission is pushing for the listing of high-quality public enterprises is that the core of the announced capital market revitalization measures was to increase the proportion of stock investments by institutional investors such as pension funds, but given the ultra-low interest rate environment, the stocks available to pension funds are limited, analysts say, making it inevitable to turn to public enterprises in order to implement the revitalization measures.

Ahead of the full-scale promotion of horse racing innovation in 2015, the Korea Racing Authority completed its regular personnel reshuffle for 478 employees on November 30, alongside an internal organizational restructuring. However, in this personnel reshuffle, only assignments and transfers were announced, and not a single promotion was revealed, leaving people curious.Upon verification, it is known that the Korea Racing Authority has decided to postpone promotion appointments for one year.They intend to make promotions based on an evaluation of the progress of work carried out over the year following the organizational restructuring.This year’s regular personnel appointments at the Korea Racing Authority are analyzed to reflect the racing industry’s sense of crisis and Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan’s determination to drive the Korea Racing Authority’s creative innovation.

In fact, most journalists dislike interviews with people. Because the people who make it into interview articles are so used to arrogant abuse of power that they treat reporters—more powerful than the president—with contempt, and there are many details they need to pay attention to while covering specialized content.The person who broke that prejudice was none other than Noh Seon-hwan, CEO of Green Disinfection. Recalling the nationwide uproar over the foot-and-mouth disease issue, I met him when I was curious about how animal diseases and quarantine issues are being managed. His always gentle smile and wholehearted approach to meeting people, treating a reporter much younger than himself like an uncle, and above all doing his best in what he calls his ‘calling.’

It was intended to strive for the technological advancement of Korea’s language industry through nurturing future talent, sharing advanced technology, and continuing education. Like the Western proverb “No hoof, no horse,” he is regarded as a figure who will make a major mark on the development of Korea’s jangje industry.When you meet many sources, there are times when you can tell who is who, but even after seeing their faces, you can’t remember their names. I'm utterly at a loss. I first met Kim Sang-pil, chairman of the Korea-China Horse Industry Exchange Association, at the 2013 Jeju District Equestrian Competition, but there was something about him that personally drew me in. As a side note, because he looked similar to the reporter’s father, and for someone who had served as president of the association, he seemed like a genuinely down-to-earth and humble person with sincere sincerity.

I used to lament the persistent practices of the equestrian world, watching people whose words didn’t add up as they appointed officials who, after causing a self-proclaimed horse industry expert who published a book and took credit, and a mismanagement-related fall that damaged the entire image of the riding club, still managed to change the narrative.However, meeting Chairman Bae Chang-hwan, an elite equestrian athlete who can simultaneously address the problems in the equestrian world and suggest a direction for the equestrian industry, helped me regain my resolve. Chairman Bae Chang-hwan, who has now transformed from a businessman into a man of equestrianism, is regarded as a figure who can promote the development of the entire equestrian community and elevate the stature of our country. Chairman Bae Chang-hwan pours all his passion into his work every day, determined to fulfill his lifelong aspiration for the advancement of equestrian

Kim Dong-su, president of the Korea Horse Hoof Technicians Association, was the person I met most often at the reporting site. Chairman Kim Dong-su, who first met at the 2012 Horse Industry Expo, can be seen at equestrian clubs and at symposium events. That is proof that Chairman Kim Dong-soo works hands-on, going out to the field himself while still in office.In fact, the people who are well aware of the bleak history of the equestrian industry, as well as various corruptions and backdoor dealings, are these jangjesa and horseshoe technicians. But they cannot speak easily. A funeral worker once lamented, “If you say the wrong thing even once, the work is cut off.”For the horseshoe technicians who do the most dangerous work at the very bottom, Chairman Kim Dong-su had long dreamed of establishing a related association, and earlier this year, after receiving government approval to establish a nonprofit corporation, the Korea Horseshoe Technicians Association was officially launched.

During the 12-hour management strategy meeting that day, Chairman Hyun also reaffirmed, together with the executives and employees, the management philosophy he had been consistently emphasizing over the past year since taking office, and shared the management strategy for change and innovation in each division for 2015.At the second-half management strategy meeting, Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said, “A company without change is bound to be left behind. He reflected, “The past year was a hectic one, racing toward innovation to impress customers, and it was a year in which all employees worked hard and saw hope for the Korea Racing Authority’s second founding.” He added, “There are still many hurdles to overcome, such as the Yongsan issue, innovation in horse racing, communication with stakeholders in the horse industry, personnel and salary reforms, online betting, and revisions to the scope of the Korea Racing Authority Act,” calling for continuous change and innovation from all employees.
