While interviewing Jinyoung Kim, the founding president of the Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Owners Association, the word that came to mind was 'veteran.' He was not just an ordinary elder, but a true elder. He has 45 years of experience in horseback riding alone. Since the story had gone back to the days of Ttukseom Racecourse, I’ve said all I needed to say. In addition to his titles as CEO of Pungjin Livestock Co., Ltd. and inaugural president of the Busan-Gyeongnam Owners’ Association,

Personally, this is my fourth time competing in the Asian Games, but unfortunately, there is no gold medal. At this Asian Games, I want to stay focused in the posture of the Geumseokwi dog, minimize mistakes, and hang the gold medal around my neck.First of all, I think teamwork is the most important. There are also athletes making their first appearance on the international stage as national representatives, and I will encourage the entire team to focus as much as possible on the competition and support them as a senior.

There is also controversy over alleged violations of users’ human rights and consumer rights.An industry insider pointed out, “According to the electronic card implementation plan, it would collect sensitive biometric information such as users’ finger vein patterns, which could raise concerns about personal information exposure and lead users to avoid it, perceiving it as a fingerprint or seal.” He also lamented, “Although the government has said it is working to legitimize the underground economy, illegal gambling markets are growing tremendously, and the resulting social problems such as tax revenue outflow and gambling addiction are becoming serious,” adding, “It is not right to leave illegal activities unchecked while regulating only the legal ones.”

However, electronic cards are an unprecedented regulation that assumes all horse racing customers are potential gambling addicts. There are also many alternatives, such as limiting the number of people in the garden and using the internet. He said, “A thorough analysis of the policy’s ripple effects must come first.”As the Supervisory Committee pushes for the full adoption of electronic cards, criticism is growing that the legal gambling industry is being killed while illegal gambling is being encouraged.According to the committee’s investigation, the scale of illegal gambling, which had reached 53 trillion won in 2008, surged to 75 trillion won over four years, increasing by a staggering 22 trillion won, due to excessive regulations on legal businesses such as the total sales cap system, limits on the number of business locations, adjustments to purchase limits, and bans on online sales.

Jeju Special Self-Governing Province was designated as a horse industry special zone in January 2014, establishing a forward base for fostering the horse industry, and this year it will continue to receive a budget of 3 billion won while planning to designate one additional site.In the field of training specialized personnel, eight institutions (Korea Racing Authority, Jeonju Kijeon University, Sangju Yongun High School, Namwon Horse Racing and Livestock High School, Seogwipo Industrial High School, Seorabeol University, Seongdeok University, Jeju Halla University) have been designated up to last year to train specialized personnel related to the horse industry, and two more institutions will be designated this year. For specialized personnel trained through qualification exams, competitiveness will be enhanced through continuing education for technical improvement and training in advanced technologies, and a database of specialized personnel will be established for systematic management.

However, on the other hand, it can also come across as a significant burden for the players. The obstacle team is aiming to win a medal in the team event, and we also want to make up for the shortcomings we showed four years ago in the individual event. I’ll cut down on one more mistake, work hard, and achieve the best results.Because Korea has such strong mental toughness in sports, on the international stage each player will focus as much as possible on the match.

At frontline equestrian facilities,people who love horses and come to learn must be approached with the mindset of customers,and more courteous and safe training services should be provided.The harder the times,the more we must stay united and not scatter.Nam Yoon-oh, head of Sangok Farm,who drove his horse from Busan for a 7-hour trip to attend the 6th Training and Workhorse Conversion Course for Retired Racehorses, at the Korea Racing Authority indoor riding facility in Gwacheon,

Sometimes there are times when the horse doesn’t follow what I want,even just once.I think it will be fully compensated for through the remaining training.From the perspective of running an equestrian center,it is impossible not to take cost factors into account at all.Actually,I’m studying because of that kind of merit. Horses live for 30 years,whereas racehorses are usually retired at two or three years old.It is regrettable in every respect that people have a long life ahead of them but cannot make use of it.

The loss of existing users could also accelerate the expansion of the illegal market. Therefore, voices are growing that, rather than applying the electronic card system uniformly, autonomous measures to promote soundness should be encouraged while taking into account its particular characteristics.Korean horse racing, boasting a 93-year history, faced an unprecedented crisis amid unprecedented regulatory pressure, with customer numbers plunging 42% over the past decade and sales turning red, yet no expansion of off-track betting facilities and no full implementation of electronic cards.To overcome this crisis, the Korea Racing Authority carried out internal reforms over the past year.

If electronic cards are fully introduced as is and regulations on legal businesses become even stricter, the resulting balloon effect is expected to cause the scale of illegal gambling in 2018 to increase uncontrollably. In fact, according to a study titled “Effectiveness of Introducing Electronic Voting Cards,” conducted by the Korea Institute of Public Administration in December 2013, as high as 38.44% of customers who used voting rights said they would use illegal gambling sites if electronic cards were introduced.In this situation, once again the student affairs committee’s proposal to fully implement electronic cards is not only an excessive overlapping regulation on legal businesses, but can also become a serious factor that encourages the expansion of the illegal gambling market.

By chance,I heard about a reinfection training program for retired racehorses,and I decided to participate last year.After receiving the training last year,I became convinced that if retired racehorses can be successfully reinfection,they can be put to good use as safe riding horses,so I joined the training again this year.I don't think so.Gyeongju retired horses are sufficient for use as riding horses.People who don’t know much about horses might wonder why a retired horse is used as a riding horse,

In the area of expanding equestrian facilities, 16.6 billion won will be provided for the installation and renovation of 15 new riding centers, taking into account regional equestrian demand, and one key riding horse training facility will also be established.The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs plans to continue providing practical support, such as fostering specialized riding horse breeders and consulting on the establishment of riding stables, to enhance the competitiveness of horse-breeding farms and improve the management conditions of equestrian centers.In the field of specialized riding horses, 120 specialized riding horses were introduced by last year and supplied to 45 farms. This year, an additional 80 horses will be introduced and supplied to about 30 production farms, with plans to increase the supply ratio of specialized riding horses to 25% by 2017 through natural breeding or artificial insemination.

Meanwhile, Assistant Trainer Ha Jae-heung published a master’s thesis titled A Study on the Development Direction of the Horse Racing Industry at the Graduate School of Global Jeju Studies,Jeju International University, in August last year, and, ahead of his retirement in June,sent a handwritten letter to his juniors titled Assistant Trainer,This is Ha Jae-heung.It has been published.Trainer Ha Jae-heung was selected as the first-ever honorary trainer among trainers.

From the moment I started as a trainer,I believed that the true owners of horse racing are the horse racing fans and each race,and that belief remains unchanged to this day.He stated,I have worked with the mindset that I must serve my masters well.At the award ceremony,Assistant Instructor Ha Jae-heung said,It was not easy to be selected because the criteria for becoming an honored assistant instructor are very strict. I consider it an honor.Since there are many outstanding juniors,

Over 35 years, he appeared 10,535 times and won 937 times. As a result, he became the first trainer to pass the honorary trainer selection criteria, which comprehensively evaluate factors such as more than 15 years of experience, over 5,000 appearances, more than 800 wins, and disciplinary actions.Assistant teacher Ha Jae-heung, known as a loving wordsmith and a diligent learner, expressed his feelings about leaving the stable,

Kim Jong-guk, head of the Korea Racing Authority’s Racing Headquarters, and Ahn Byung-gi, publicity director of the Seoul Trainers Association, attended and congratulated them by presenting pure gold commemorative rings, trophies, and bouquets.Trainer Ha Jae-heung is nothing less than a living witness to Korean horse racing. Trainer Ha entered the horse racing world in 1972 as a jockey, and made his debut as a trainer in 1983 when he opened the 35th stable.

Every university vacation, I attended speech academies whenever I had time and participated in related activities such as the university student press corps and as a reporter.He also had the unusual achievement of winning KBS’s Korean quiz show Korean Language Contest this January.It did not have a large academy that many aspiring announcers choose.Instead,he developed his planning skills as a university student reporter and as the editor-in-chief of the school newspaper.

However,behind the glamorous image of announcers lie several practical problems,he said,and aside from terrestrial broadcasters,full-time positions are extremely rare, and in particular,the career longevity of female announcers is short.She also said,These days, announcers live in an era where personal charm is important.The horse racing announcer said,Compared to star power, I tend to focus more on the horse racing broadcast itself, so I feel recognized for my expertise,

Since it also handles the Korea Racing Authority’s administrative tasks while conducting events such as award ceremonies, it requires not only broadcasting skills but also a wide range of expertise.Announcer Kim said,The greatest appeal of a horse racing announcer is the sense of accomplishment.Horse racing broadcasting feels like creating my own work, and by handling a variety of tasks, I can continue to grow.It was said that the fact that I could demonstrate my capabilities in many areas felt even more appealing.

He added,The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will continue to support and nurture outstanding rural convergence industry enterprises that link rural resources with secondary and tertiary industries to increase farmers’ income and revitalize rural regional economies.The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs selected CEO Kang Soon-ok of Sunchang Jangbonga Farming Cooperative Corporation in Sunchang County, Jeollabuk-do, as this month’s Rural Convergence Industry Person of the Month.

They are working to pass down Sunchang jang’s excellent production techniques to the next generation and to continue its tradition, such as linking it with local attractions and offering visitors demonstrations of making traditional gochujang.In particular, they donate sauces, pickled vegetables, and other items every year to the “Iksan Happiness Sharing Market,” a permanent free market that provides daily necessities to low-income and crisis-affected households.
