As the evils of illegal gambling have recently emerged as social issues, government agencies are racing to come up with measures to eradicate illegal gambling, and there are growing calls for the re-establishment of the status of the audit committee, which has been preoccupied with regulating the legal gambling industry. Although the audit committee continues to regulate the legal gambling industry excessively with the effect of locomotives, it is evident that the audit committee's policy eventually increased illegal gambling, which strongly calls for changes in the committee's policy and the government's legal gambling industry.

It is also necessary to revive the tradition of horse culture. We will support the actors who lead the horse industry in the field, such as horseback riding and farmhouses, universities, horse racing society, and related media, so that they can go in the direction they want according to their needs. As a legal professional, I am interested in reorganizing laws and systems of the horse industry, suggesting alternatives, and supporting them. It is not easy. I'm not doing this out of personal greed. We will make sure that horse industry officials can coexist by sacrificing and making efforts to each other.
