They focused on normalizing the abnormal by cutting employee welfare to a level acceptable to the public, and by introducing a performance-based system at a private-sector level, such as top-down draft personnel changes to strengthen competition. In this way, after painful self-reflection, a desperate reconsideration of the horse racing product, which has been shunned, is needed for “horse racing innovation.” It was a judgment.If I were to sum up horse racing innovation in one phrase, it would be "openness, competition, and market expansion." It is to raise the quality and value of horse racing products and turn the current crisis into an opportunity for rebirth. To this end, after consultations and coordination with related organizations, in January 2015, we completed the final draft centered on the rating system, raising the purchase price cap on imported horses, and implementing integrated racing limited to Group 1 and 2.

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.

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.

Currently, jobs in the domestic horse industry are too limited and too monotonous. There is a need to expand into various fields, from public officials related to the horse industry to teachers, saddle designers, and more.After I became principal last year, I went to a Meister high school principals’ meeting, and a section chief from the Ministry of Personnel Management came out and introduced the civil service exam. I heard Meister high school principals were pushing back, but I think differently.

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.

When we held a selection test during the last educational dispatch to France, even the students’ attitudes were different. The students studied voluntarily until late at night, worked hard on creating projects, and preparing for presentations. There was a lack of opportunities and motivation to stimulate students’ desire for achievement, so these events will serve as a good catalyst for the students. I think it will be the second leap forward for the Horse Racing Livestock High School.

Since it would be difficult to frequently bring in Principal Jacobs, we gladly accepted the offer from WRFM to send a coach trained by him, and after going through legal procedures, Coach Sabrina will be responsible for teaching alongside our students at our school for 12 weeks.The training period is from September 1 to November 23, during which participants are scheduled to take part in comprehensive equestrian lessons. Coach Sabrina says that, judging by her riding skills alone,

Our school teachers are individuals with long experience and know-how; some have worked at our school for 13 to 14 years and laid the foundation for education in the horse industry. Through various educational support programs, we have brought in people who have learned advanced technologies from leading horse industry countries such as France and Germany, and we take pride in being among the best educators in the horse industry field.Mr. Woo Cheong-hwa, head of the Meister Department,

Korea Racing and Livestock High School is the only Meister high school in Korea in the horse industry field, located in the northwest foothills of Jirisan Mountain. It opened in 1970 as Unbong Livestock High School, and has tried various changes in step with the flow of changing times. In 2003, it changed its name to Korea Racing and Livestock High School and has since played a leading role in nurturing talent in the field of horse and mule management. After the Horse Industry Promotion Act came into effect at the end of September 2011,

Starting with exports to the United States in 2014, this year they have led the globalization of Korea’s traditional sauces by exporting 14 million won worth of fermented and pickled sauces to Australia and the United States.CEO Kang Soon-ok is also dedicated to preserving the jang of Sunchang. 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.

By purchasing about 100 tons of agricultural products through contract farming with local farms, they secure high-quality raw materials and contribute to stabilizing farmers’ incomes.They also offer differentiated products based on numerous patents, including Cheonggukjang manufacturing using mulberry leaf extract, and Cheongdoenjang manufacturing, which preserves the taste of both cheonggukjang and doenjang while reducing its distinctive odor,

After retiring at age four, it should have been brought into the country to be used as a stallion in breeding, but after arriving here, it was never even able to prove its worth as a stallion because it was not verified. If a horse has been sent abroad for racing, the Korea Racing Authority should not only retire it but also provide additional management and include it in free breeding, among other institutional improvements. If a good offspring comes out, isn’t that the production of a truly native horse.

Foreign languages train before 4 a.m. They also prevent us from training together at the state farm, citing quarantine concerns. Foreign horses stay in a well-equipped quarantine stable. Our horses can only run after the foreign horses have finished training at 6 o’clock. If it’s an international race, we should train together, but since the track is already a complete mess, can we really train properly if we start late. Even if you send a caretaker and spend a lot of money on an expedition, the stable doesn’t even have CCTV.

If professionals from institutions specializing in training experts for the horse industry handle horse industry-related tasks, the pace of development of the domestic horse industry would also be doubled.Our school is not a school that only does horseback riding. It is a school that deals with the overall horse industry and provides various forms of education. Although it may be unfamiliar to parents during the annual college entrance exam season, it is already well known in the horse industry and is fully recognized for its capabilities.

That must be proof of how deeply they love and take pride in horses. It would be great if they could merge, but some senior members are opposed because they won’t give up their vested interests. There are 45 horse racing events a year, with 31 in Seoul and 14 in Busan. Compared with the original 3:4 ratio, the proportions do not match. Moreover, Seoul will have a bi-open race, while Busan will hold all races as open races. I think we should open everything up and head to the open racecourse.

Even now, I wake up at 4 a.m. and climb Baekdu Mountain in Gimhae. It is a steep mountain about 350 meters above sea level, and as we climb up and down here, we strengthen our body and mind, and at the summit we pray for the safety and health of our horses. And go straight to the magic room. It makes me uncomfortable if you don’t look at our words, even for just one day.Since I practically leave for work every morning at 6,there are six stable rooms

My grandfather used to ride horses, and there was a stable in Gangseo-gu, Busan. I also often hiked outside from the Nakdong River riverside park. Since the time of Ttukseom Racecourse, horses have been bid on and procured. When trying to attract the Busan Racecourse, I met with the mayor of Gangseo District, persuaded him, and made an effort. At the time, Gangseo District's financial independence rate was only 11%. The residents were so active that they said, “We absolutely welcome the racetrack, but oppose the briquette industrial complex.

Chairman Jinyoung Kim, as a senior figure, is also taking a hands-on approach to social contribution. Saying that people do what they do because they enjoy it, and wondering whether good grades come from doing good deeds in their own way, and emphasizing that “if you give, good things will happen”—it was through this that I could see the true character of an adultFirst of all, this Korea Sprint competition was really disappointing in many ways. I took good care of it, and it was in great condition,

But just like the saying, “Even if you hate sin, you must not hate people,” even when you know it’s hard, if you keep pushing through and hanging out together, they will understand your true feelings. It is something I do because I enjoy it myself. When you share your heart and affection, my heart becomes better too. When I go there, people even ask me, "Did anything good happen?" Could it be that my words are good in grades because I am doing my own good deeds. If you give, good things will happen.
