Even considering global trends, Chairman Kim Nak-soon stated that generating profits through horse racing is in a difficult future, and he mentioned the risk of closing off-track betting centers.As the top professional manager in the horse industry, Chairman Kim Nak-soon, who is well aware of the concerns and worries expressed by some, stated that he has spent his entire life in the political field and, as a professional manager and a scholar who has lectured and conducted research on culture and the arts at a university,

What is most welcome is the emphasis on the change from the perception that the Korea Racing Authority is neither an intelligence agency nor an organization that requires special security to the statement that we will ensure that all operations across all possible fields can be conducted transparently.He also said that was exactly the short cut to restoring public trust. It is analyzed that this statement takes into account the issue of the Korea Racing Authority and the horse industry’s damaged image,

Looking closely at Chairman Kim Nak-soon’s inaugural speech, it is noticeable that before taking office as chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, he had thoroughly studied current issues such as the horse racing industry and the organization of the Korea Racing Authority. He also said that he would hurry to begin assessing the work of each department immediately upon taking office. It is known that he actually received departmental work reports on the day of his inauguration, last weekend, and up until the 24th.

In particular, since building infrastructure to revitalize equestrian activities is also an important value, he said, “I believe that not only horse racing but also the equestrian industry must grow together to truly complete the development of the horse industry in the fullest sense.”He said that before restoring public trust, the priority should be creating an organizational culture of mutual trust, and that the most important value in putting this into practice is personnel fairness as the chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, so he made this promise.

Returning the frozen, cold heart within it with a warm gaze is truly a difficult challenge, but he emphasized that, combined with the outstanding ability and passion of the Korea Racing Authority’s executives and staff, as well as Chairman Kim Nak-soon’s conviction, they will surely restore public trust. Emphasizing that the best path and the Korea Racing Authority’s central goal is to return to being an organization faithful to its founding purpose,he said,That path is the responsibility entrusted to us by the state and the true image of the Korea Racing Authority that the public expects.

He emphasized that the only way to apologize and ask for forgiveness is to be reborn anew, and said he wants the day of his inauguration to be remembered as “the start of a new chapter in history, where we promise and declare before the people that we will be reborn as the people’s Korea Racing Authority.”Above all, he emphasized that he would love the Korea Racing Authority organization and trust it infinitely,adding,Depending on what we do, we can earn the full love of the people.

Chairman Kim Nak-soon said that he was first “called” to serve as the 36th chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, and that personally it was a position of honor. As is typical of most inaugural speeches, he mentioned the weather and said, “What is truly cold is not the weather, but the public’s gaze toward the Korea Racing Authority today,” adding, “With a heavy sense of responsibility, I am deeply afraid of the public’s stern command to be reborn anew.

Before delivering his inaugural address, President Kim Nak-soon said that he had never greeted people with a prepared speech in advance until now, and that, at the strong request of the secretariat, he had devoted great care and effort to prepare the speech formally over the course of three nights and four days.The inaugural address is about 25 manuscript pages long and contains roughly 3,500 words, offering a glimpse into how important the pressing issues facing the Korea Racing Authority are.

Next year, just like this year, we plan to focus on establishing the pedigree and move forward in earnest. We are currently preparing to open a call for operators of a horse training hub center within the Jeju Livestock Promotion Institute, and if we can secure one, it is expected to accelerate the establishment of Hallama’s pedigree. We have already secured two trainers, and we plan to prepare thoroughly in accordance with the recruitment guidelines.In addition, a nationwide equestrian competition featuring Hanlima will also be held.

Even when holding a competition, there can be differences in thinking among people, and in that process, misunderstandings can arise. The second round of the competition was the result of applying to the Korea Racing Authority’s call for additional selections for recipients of the horse industry development support project held last November. It will be held under the same rules and format as the first tournament. I plan to put even more effort into promotion during the remaining period.

Only Hallama can participate. As stated in the regulations, all horses participating in the competition are Halla horses registered with the Halla Horse Breeders Association or the Korea Racing Authority.That’s right. It is already well known that Hallama has participated in various endurance competitions and won several times. There is already a consensus on Halla’s excellence within the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Korea Racing Authority, and the entire horse industry.

If I had been assigned a new word, it would have been difficult, but since it was a word I had been riding every day at school, I was familiar with it and comfortable using it, which reduced my anxiety about the test and gave me confidence. For this reason, I also did well on the practical exam score.I cannot choose the one word that left the strongest impression. This phrase is good, and that phrase is good too. Learn this from this person, learn that from the other,

Rehabilitation horseback riding was an area I was interested in when I enrolled. Every Wednesday, students come to school for therapeutic horseback riding lessons, and at the beginning of the semester I signed up for volunteers and gained a lot of experience assisting them from the side. I prepared for the demonstration test of the second rehabilitation riding lesson in the second semester of the first year. At that time, Professor Park Geum-ran and Instructor Song Yeon-hee kindly explained things to me and demonstrated them,

In his opening remarks, Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan said, “To contribute, even if only a little, to the development of world horse racing, Korean horse racing, which was promoted one step up from Part 3 to Part 2 this year, will prepare for the inaugural Korea Cup international race by inviting outstanding horses and jockeys from seven countries around the world.” He added, “We will do our utmost to enter Part 1 in 2020, the 100th anniversary of Korean horse racing.” He explained the purpose of the roundtable, saying, “We ask not only questions about the Korea Cup but also good suggestions for the development of Korean horse racing.”In horse racing, if you don’t compete, you can’t tell what position you’re in or how far behind you are compared to the world’s races.

Since I learned practical skills in my first year, I didn’t feel burdened by the fact that the two certificates were different. I learned regular horseback riding and racehorse riding in advance at school, so I was able to prepare for the certification more easily. For the Level 2 Recreational Sports Instructor exam, there was an obstacle course in the practical test section, so before the exam, I stayed up early in the morning or late at night and practiced obstacle courses with Professor Chu Hoo-geun.

If you do not ride accurately, you cannot place. Youth equestrianism must be based on education in order to develop into an advanced equestrian nation in the long run. If we focus on results, we might shine briefly, but it’s no different from equestrianism in our generation.It is a book documenting episodes involving the 'classic girl.” The content includes not only episodes but also technical aspects. As I was writing the manuscript, it started to feel like it was about my relationship with the “classic girl” and our married life. Pushing and pulling at each other, fighting, sulking, and going on a nerve-wracking back-and-forth, only to regret it when one of us gets hurt. Though it may only be a short period, it already feels as if I have lived a life.

FTA revision negotiations,in line with the government’s position that further opening in the agricultural sector is not possible.We select young entrepreneurial farmers who will lead the future of our agriculture and provide comprehensive support—including farmland,funding, and education—through the entry,settlement,and growth stages.We will provide up to 1 million won per month in farming settlement support funds to 1,200 young startup farmers with income at or below a certain level.

However, it is true that our country has not yet reached that level. Horse racing has a poor image among the public. So our horse racing should also become a sophisticated, wholesome sport. We need to create an atmosphere where people can enjoy it up close with their families.Second, when we consider the direction the horse racing industry will take globally in the future, it is questionable whether it can grow solely on the horse racing industry. The horse racing industry should also be integrated and converged with other service businesses, forming a complementary relationship.Third, I want Jeju Island Race Park to be developed into a Jeju tourist attraction themed around horses.

In some cases, the determination to do it is so strong that it almost feels like a “classic girl” sneering, “Is this all you’ve got?”Actually, I was thinking about retiring this year. After undergoing surgery for colic two years ago, I had two major boils of cellulitis in August last year. I thought I should now retire and live peacefully. Around April, I planned to retire it and send it to Jangsu, then breed it with “Rico” so it could have offspring, but because “Classic Girl” took up too much space, it never came to fruition. They say that because of her old age, the chances of giving birth to a foal are not very high. I plan to take the students to Masterhalls in the future.

By implementing the Support Project for Non-Rice Crop Cultivation,we will reduce the rice cultivation area by 50,000 hectares this year. We will prepare focusing on forage crops and regionally specialized crops to minimize the impact on the supply and demand of substitute crops.In addition, we will work to enhance the industry’s competitiveness and contribute to supply and demand stability by upgrading rice quality through expanding the distribution of high-quality varieties and improving grading standards.

The people are demanding fundamental improvements in the safety of agricultural and food products, livestock diseases, and the livestock environment. As the tariff reduction effects of the FTAs concluded so far take full effect, competition with imported agricultural and livestock products in the domestic market is also intensifying.We have now reached a critical juncture where we must overcome this reality, restore the fundamental principles of agricultural policy, and our agriculture must move forward into the future.
