Secretary-General Kim, who dreams of a "better tomorrow with horses," is expressing his ambition that the Let's Run Foundation will play a big role in expanding practical social contribution projects to provide practical help to the socially vulnerable, rather than donations based on various tangible and intangible assets of the Korean Horse Association while faithfully keeping the purpose of the Let's Run Foundation, which marks its second anniversary, and also meets with Secretary-General Kim Hak-shin, who dreams of a "better tomorrow with horses."

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.

But in reality, besides horse management, there are many tasks to do such as pasture management, facility management, and government support, so there are many difficulties. At present, I am receiving help from my father and others around me who have extensive experience in horses.Because I am young, I have the advantage of being able to work with enthusiasm. I can work for my own words without fussing over this and that. I’m still far from enough, so I’m trying to gain as many diverse experiences as possible.

Mayon Eohos is continuously evolving now, and in the future, it will also play a role in popularizing horseback riding. I am also confident about this. However, I don’t know how long it will take. The Mayon Eohos that the Daemyung Group hopes to realize is to be developed up to CSI5, creating an environment where foreign athletes can bring their horses directly to Korea, interact with the horses already present, and participate in regular equestrian competitions—that is the ultimate goal. In addition,

Over the past five years, a horse industry project was launched as a government policy. As far as I know, it first began between 2011 and 2012, and if the first five years were spent creating 500 equestrian venues and training specialized equestrian personnel as part of the initial project, it seems that the five-year plan for the future development of equestrianism is currently at a standstill.Therefore, I think we need to transform the drifting project into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the sales market.

Last year it was held on the lawn course, and this year it took place at the Sonopellice Equestrian Club. We also wanted to introduce and show Sono Felice Riding Club to the public, and it is true that last year, due to inconveniences with the practice arena and other facilities, we were unable to provide the horses with the best possible environment. This year, we played in a dedicated field so that the horses could compete in their best condition. Although it lacked the beauty and style of a grass field,

Compared to baseball,which has risen to become one of Korea’s representative sports, the popularization of equestrianism may sound like a distant prospect.However, during the second edition,the audience’s enthusiastic response and attention witnessed on site convinced us that the popularization of equestrianism was not far off, and it became the driving force behind organizing May On Eohos 2017.Going forward,Daemyung Group intends to lead efforts to popularize equestrianism by combining the diverse cultures loved by the public with equestrianism.

Only those who have ridden it can truly understand that kind of speed, so while there are things I miss, I’m currently riding a Seorabad and Warmblood at Halla University, so the longing has faded considerably.I sometimes remember the days when I rode a Seorabad to practice riding, but now I’m content with Jeju horse racing, riding Jeju horses and Halla horses.The class uniform color is rather dull.I used my personal favorite color, black, as the base, and made the band around the chest red.

Compared to other cohorts, I’m not particularly overweight, so I don’t do separate weight management. I eat well and exercise consistently. I go to the gym and do strength-focused workouts. Also, to maintain a stable posture on the horse during races, I often ride a jockey’s bike.Thanks to fencing since I was young, it has been a great help to horse racing. Because fencing requires a lot of lower-body strength and explosiveness, I did a lot of lower-body exercise.

During the process of training to ride a colt, it fell together with the horse and got run over by it, getting injured. Since then,I developed aftereffects from my ankle.Even now, I can’t run at full speed.There is currently no major impact on Gyeongju,but at the time it did. My ankle was swollen from a ligament tear and fracture, but because I wanted to keep riding for the race, I said I had a sprain.Limping,I tried to ride even one more horse.At that time, a full recovery was not properly achieved,

While pursuing the four strategic goals, it is transforming into a social contribution company that creates a better world as a citizen of a company that forms a country and society by breaking away from the business of giving benefits. It also launched a representative center for social contribution using the core materials of the company called horses. Here, there are horse riding healing centers and pro bono centers. Another important thing is that it has started to solve youth problems that reflect the situation of the times. There were job creation for 140 people as a youth overseas job search project, and 17 "Let's Run Dream Centers" were opened through collaboration with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and local governments, winning the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Award for out-of-school youth programs.

Most people think of horse racing as gambling.However, in everyday life, quite a large number of people enjoy horse racing as a leisure activity. If the environment and culture of horse racing are improved so that horse racing can be enjoyed as a leisure activity, and the horse racing industry is revitalized through this, the horse industry will also become more active. I believe that revitalizing the horse industry can also provide great benefits to our society.First of all, I think it would be wonderful if the next government

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. Recruitment and promotion of journalists for Racing Media is a step in line with the expansion of its business ahead of the online news partnership between Naver and Kakao, following the signing of an agreement with KBSN in February on horse industry broadcast planning. 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.

Even in Japan, it becomes 75.1%, and in Hong Kong, 78.1%. In countries like the United Kingdom or Australia, it reaches as high as 89%. Our country takes too many taxes off people. On top of that, there are many horse racing taxes, including a 100% increase in entrance fees, double taxation at more than 100 times the rate, and refunds exceeding 2 million won. So the content is that horse racing taxes should be reduced. It also contained the content that online betting must be conducted.

Horse racing is a sport that can be fully enjoyed as a leisure activity.The reason for organizing this gathering today is to improve the negative image of horse racing,which is perceived by people as gambling despite being fully enjoyable as a leisure activity.In addition,it is to create a public forum to discuss tax issues unfavorable to us horse racing fans and the reintroduction of online betting ticket sales.I stopped online betting ticket sales around 2009,and I thought that such a public discussion platform might be necessary to bring online sales back into practice.

Just because it’s called a riding horse doesn’t mean you expect it to be at the level of what equestrian athletes ride; it’s meant to be comfortable to ride. Six months is enough. Six months can be long, or it can be short. I think if you focus on the process, it could be done in three or four months.In the case of Hallama, it is currently 4 to 500 million won per bird. After three to four months of training, the price rises to as high as 8 to 9 million won. It is the value of a trained horse. As long as the training system works properly, it doesn’t suffer any loss.

Build part of the horse there so that Jeju horses can enter, be trained, receive training on the main course, and then come.For farms that lack well-equipped facilities, the Jeju Horse Producers Association has independently secured a certain amount of provincial funds to operate the Seongeup Breeding Center. We are renovating the facilities. Although a mid- to long-term roadmap has been established, infrastructure is necessary for the hiring criteria based on the process to be implemented.

Although it was in the early stages, it was persuaded of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and eventually reached the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, but the special zone funds were not sufficiently provided. Through another route, we secured 400 million won in national funds and 400 million won in provincial funds, but as the project progressed,

In a real circular stud farm, it should be a completely enclosed circle, which would allow horses to concentrate well during the initial acclimation stage, but most farms do not have a closed circular stud farm like the Korea Racing Authority. Also, most farm households have many people working alone. There are 20 to 30 horses, but since I’m doing it alone, I’m often busy. I cannot invest much time. When you train alone, you may not even know what is wrong with it. The four pilot farms meet once a month, taking turns to receive training together,
