The Racing Authority, which is in a hurry to reform the racing system, confirmed the introduction of a full-scale rating system next year. First of all, the Racing Authority will first test-introduce handicap racing based on the rating racing system to the first team from October before introducing a full-scale rating system. The introduction of the racing system is part of the international standardization of the Korean horse racing system that the Racing Authority is pushing for. It was a common system in foreign countries, but in Korea, quarterly, half-year, and annual racing horse ratings were only announced. With the introduction of this system, the ratings of racehorses will be announced every week, and the results of the race will be immediately reflected after the race of the racehorse, reflecting the trend of changes in the racing ability of the racehorses in real time.

It was built on a 60,000-pyeong school ranch with a floor space of 30,000 pyeong. Currently, it has 52 horse parlors and is working on various facilities to consider horses. As a luxury horse riding stadium facility, it will play a big role in holding various horse riding competitions in Jeju. We will also introduce facilities using experience data centers and sculptures to create a surrounding environment, a precious horse riding ground where anyone can visit, and a landmark of Jeju Island.

Unlike the usual rigid atmosphere, the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony was due to the expectation that he was the first horse leader appointed by the Moon Jae In government, applause or loud answers were poured out to Chairman Kim Nak-soon's questions. Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who seemed to recognize the situation in which his inauguration speech had no choice but to be "dignified," shook hands and talked with all employees in front of the lobby of the main building after the inauguration ceremony. After the inauguration ceremony, an official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "It is true that there were concerns that he was a parachute or a non-professional at the time of the cabinet government, but listening to today's inauguration speech seems to give us strength to overcome our internal distrust and exert positive influence externally.

I will not tolerate any resistance or pressure on this path," he said, as if he understood the mistake of internal factional issues that have led to complaints against the chairman of the Korean Horse Association and submission to the outside world, including the National Assembly and the media. "I will put my everything on the line to prevent it." On the other hand, he said, "I will fully repay the employees who work hard, are creative, faithfully respond to the call of the state, and contribute to the people's interests on behalf of the state," and added, "Please support and support me generously when I meet your expectations." He also said, "The chairman protects the institution and organization, and the members of the organization trust and protect the chairman.

Although not confirmed, the plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean horse racing that the Korean Horse Racing Association is envisioning includes the introduction of excellent horses and the establishment of an industrial reflux system for horse racing sales. First of all, the Horse Racing Association plans to completely abolish the purchase cap to expand the conditions for introducing excellent horses. The purchase cap for male and female horses, which had been set at $30,000, will be abolished, while restrictions on the trading market will also be abolished. In addition, in the case of mares, it is planned to allow the introduction of foreign race horses. It is planned to allow the introduction of male and female horses around 2018. Meanwhile, the Korean Horse Association plans to allow only 25% of all racehorses to introduce foreign horses in order to solve the difficulties of domestic horse production farmers due to the abolition of the upper limit of the introduction of foreign horses.

The second task is to establish a foundation for the rural horse riding industry centered on cooperatives. The detailed task was to establish a comprehensive support center for the horse industry in Jeju and to foster key union personnel and leading union members through education. The central association is striving to create a hub for the horse industry of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, and the cooperative has differentiated the roles of each institution by dividing it into operating rural horse riding facilities and supporting the production of horses for its members.The plan is to enable profit generation throughout the entire process, including production and supply, consulting, training consignment, and sales, such as setting up horse riding facilities for farming and fishing villages in local livestock cooperatives.

Emphasizing that the best path and the goal of the Korean Racing Authority is to return to an institution that is faithful to its founding purpose, he said, "The path is a responsibility given to us by the state and the true form of the Korean Racing Authority that the people expect." He also said that generating profits through horseback riding is not an end, but a means. Instead of maximizing profit generation, publicity and sharing should now come first, and he said, "Our community will strive to become a healthy institution that expects the highest productivity in the best condition." 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 horseback riding industry needs to grow together to complete the development of the horse industry in a true sense.

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." He also said, "We should be ashamed of ourselves for not being brave enough to tell the wrong part,

According to the Horse Industry Promotion Act, it is the special zone promotion team that inspects, preoccupies, and evaluates what needs to be done in Jeju Island, which has been designated as a special zone this year. It plays a role in evaluating and deciding whether projects related to the special zone are proceeding smoothly according to the plan. In particular, I am a person in the academic world and am in charge of examining and evaluating the expansion of educational infrastructure and its necessity. The first members of the promotion team, which will be active until December this year, need a promotion team because they need to evaluate the ongoing project within this year. Focusing on consulting policies and visiting and evaluating the site, we are working to ensure that Jeju Island, the first special industrial zone at the end of the year, can become a model for the special zone.

The weight of horse racing will also be improved. In order to enhance international universality, the divisional unit will be subdivided, and the standard weight applied by horse racing will be switched from general racing in lower groups to horse racing. The divisional unit will be divided into semi-annual division on a monthly basis, and the division will be divided into single/medium/long-distance division from those without distinction of distance, and the weight of horse racing will be given. The race will also be reorganized to select the best horse racing by distance, age, and gender, and the race will be strengthened from now on. All Grade races that select the best horse by condition will be held as open races (16 races in 2015), and mixed open races will be open to foreign horses.

As I rode alone and rode in a comfortable position, my posture became solid. It was difficult because it took a long time to fix my firm posture. I injured the ligament of my big toe three weeks before the first practical examination of the certificate. I was diagnosed with a five-week rest by the doctor. I lost my composure and was anxious because the test was just around the corner. I only went home and hospital for three weeks The day before I took the test, I went to school and practiced only once with my classmates. And I passed. I think I was lucky. When I took the practical test, I could take the test in Jama, so I took the school horse and rode it. It would have been difficult if I had been assigned a new horse, but it was a horse that I used to ride all the time at school,

Students come to the school every Wednesday to take rehabilitation riding classes, and they applied for volunteers at the beginning of the semester and gained a lot of experience by volunteering next to them. In the second semester of the first year, I prepared a demonstration test for the second class of rehabilitation horseback riding. At that time, Professor Park Geum-ran and Instructor Song Yeon-hee kindly explained and demonstrated next to me, helping me to teach myself. As such, the intimacy of the students receiving rehabilitation horseback riding was increased and the burden of the class decreased, and the worry and tension about the test decreased. Riding a horse was the most difficult. My classmates are improving, but I came from riding a horse in high school, so I have my own posture.

We have resolved the conflict over the agricultural industry. The issue of refunding preferential rice payments made in 2016 could be resolved smoothly by constantly talking with farmers' organizations. The issue of over-the-counter sales centers in Yongsan and Daejeon, which had been in sharp conflict with the local community for a long time, was also decided to relocate through social compromise. There was also a crisis situation. When red fire ants were found, emergency quarantine measures were taken to resolve the situation early. When an insecticide egg incident occurred, all farms were banned from being shipped immediately after detection, and all nonconforming eggs were discarded by conducting a full inspection. Along with this, we pushed for system improvement to prevent recurrence.

First of all, we considered stabilizing rice prices as the first step in restoring trust in the agricultural government, and through close communication with farmers' organizations and relevant ministries, we decided on measures to isolate 720,000 tons of rice from the market, the largest volume in history. Thanks to this, rice prices, which remained at the level of 20 years ago, exceeded 150,000 won right after the announcement of the measures, and are continuously on the rise so far. The purchase price of public reserve rice and market quarantine grains from 2017 has also increased by 19% year-on-year, and the purchase price of 52,570 won per 40 kg bag of rice has been completed by the end of the last year. In addition, we have completed the domestic procedures for joining the Food Aid Agreement and will provide 50,000 tons of Korean rice to developing countries from this year.

The Myeonji Market is also expected to open. Gumi, where horse racing occurred naturally, is widely opening the Myeonji Market, and Asia is also expanding its Myeonji Market. In the case of Hong Kong, face-to-face registration is possible without restricting nationality, and Japan is also operating the Myeonji Market with certain qualifications. In the early stages of opening the Myeonji Market, the Korean Horse Association plans to set the opening rate in stages through performance analysis after piloting about 15 people, or 2% of the current Myeonji operation scale. It plans to allow individual horse racing, corporate horse racing, and union racing to foreigners living in Korea, but only individual horse racing to non-resident foreigners in Korea. It is also seeking ways to increase the demand for domestic horse racing by setting a comparison between domestic horse and foreign horse holding in order to open the Myeonji Market and increase the demand for domestic horse racing.
