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 Let's Run Foundation, a representative social contribution foundation of the Korean Horse Association, celebrated its second anniversary on March 18.

The Let's Run Foundation, which celebrated its second anniversary on March 18, recruited Kim Hak-shin, former head of the Seoul Regional Headquarters, as the general secretary through a public offering at the end of February. Kim Hak-shin, a 59-year-old native of Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, graduated from the Department of Public Administration at Seoul City University and joined the Korean Horse Association in 1986. Since then, he has served as the head of major departments of the Korean Horse Association, including the head of the public relations team, the head of the horse racing cooperation team, the head of the Jeju business department, the head of the planning and coordination team, the head of the Busan and Gyeongnam regional headquarters, and the head of the Seoul regional headquarters, and retired at the retirement age in February this year. Secretary-General Kim was evaluated as an administrative expert with excellent practical experience and administrative ability when he was in office.

What needs to happen is the work of an uncivilized nation. We are campaigning against it in advance because we can see what the education and housing conditions will be like. If you are a leading country, you should look back on the gambling industry in general.I think the issue of Korea's gambling industry, such as bullfighting and lotto, lies in the fact that the state directly promoted it without discussing it with the public. I hope that the government will implement policies by predicting problems that will harm many people, not the tax revenues that will come in immediately. I think President Moon Jae In is aware of this.

However, we have to think about whether raising funds through horse racing will ultimately benefit the horserace community. It costs money to encourage the horse industry, so many people criticize it, and I think that raising taxes even if people die and become addicted to gambling will ultimately lead to the horse society. In implementing the policy, I hope that the government will implement a policy that considers the principles of a public company, not the money coming in immediately. If the government continues to confront the residents and the image of the horse society deteriorates, it will not be good for the employees,

Recently, older horses in the Mabang are doing well, but they are choosing to take enough rest when they take a break, which seems to lead to good results. Thank you for always helping me, and I will do my best to repay you with a victory. Hwang In-sung, who majored in law, expressed interest in the conflict of related bills, which is a sharp issue in the horse industry today. Hwang In-sung, a reporter, said, "I want to find out the issues that are holding back the development of the horse industry and highlight them. I will help the government and the Korean horse society policy meet the needs of the field."

During the temporary opening, there was a physical fight, so the vice principal was taken to an ambulance and the children were injured, and the hospital continued treatment. At that time, I didn't know how to deal with this problem, and I just suffered from it. The society is still on trial because it has filed a complaint for injury. Nothing has changed since the new leader came. There has been no fundamental change or dialogue. Sometimes, I just came and greeted the employees. Since it is a public enterprise, if a new agricultural minister is appointed, it will be affected by the change of the horse leader.

During the 2014 Gyeonggi Province Governor's Cup, I dressed up in special clothes and won, so I dressed up in purple again this time to cheer for Pinot Noir. This horse is named after my favorite wine, and I should go for a cup of Pinot Noir with the people who cheered for me today. I didn't expect much, but I think I got a good result because I had consistently experienced racing. The Dong-A Ilbo had a short distance, so I was worried that I might be catching up. I saw that this race has strength because it is a long distance of 2,000M, and I even expected to win the championship. I am happy to win for two consecutive games, and I hope it has brought a little joy to the horse racing fans. Due to the slow initial flow, I decided that the jockey might be able to take the lead and displayed a moving development.

You may have seen it in person since 2013. Opponents brought us "pro-North Korea" and "Red" banners. I told the police that it was defamation, but I was angry at the uncommon sense of saying such words to people like us who I have never seen before. Protecting the living environment and the educational environment is not a matter of progressive and conservative parties. There are pastors, priests, nuns, and principals from Yongsan who are participating in the movement, but they are very conservative. I discussed it with the horseradish society staff on a TV show, and they asked, "Ask anyone on the street,

We are also contemplating the deregulation of the Farmland Act, the incompatibility of qualification certifications under the Posture Act and the Horse Industry Promotion Act, and the standardization of each unit.The most important part is the development of the equestrian population. Through the evaluation system, we will promote the production of good horses and host grassroots horse races centered on self-sustaining clubs and local units, and hold many youth horse-riding competitions so that students can participate. The second comprehensive plan will also include programs for safe riding, such as the riding ability system. Regarding the horse-riding industry,

First of all, horseback riding competitions are not fun. We are preparing to come up with ideas such as competitions related to festivals and new themed competitions so that it can be fun and open to the public. In order to make horses more friendly to the public, we have also held a number of auctions to disclose the exact price of the horse. Regarding improving the image, the horse industry is providing opportunities for the public to experience horses, and horse racing is consulting with the horse society to take sound measures to break away from the image of gambling. Although we continue to supplement it, our main focus is to improve the quality of life of the people,

At the time of enactment of the law, there was a difference between the horse industry and other industries. Since the part of horseback riding as a sport has been passed over before, it must be integrated with the livestock and agricultural sectors, and the horse industry must contribute to the development of agriculture. In order to do that, there must be sufficient connection with the existing Ministry of Agriculture and Food or other ministries, but there is a part that has not been done. Due to this lack of connection, there are many problems in implementing it, but I think it is a point to supplement.

Currently, an important part of the horse industry is the use and training issue. There are parts that can be used as horseback riding, and the Gyeongju Retired Horse, which has 1,200 heads per year, needs to be trained well, but there have been few training systems. In a way, there are parts that have not been systematically developed because they think it is difficult to train. Gyeongju Retired Horse, which can be trained, is actively promoting the project by establishing a systematic education system and boldly diversifying the difficult parts. If this part is strengthened, dangerous and unsafe horses will be removed from the field. It is still in its infancy,

Basically, the livestock industry aims to provide stable supply of safe livestock food to the people. On the other hand, the horse industry aims to improve the quality of life of the people by training and using horses well. The law is different. As a result, this problem itself became Gye-reuk. Even in our livestock bureau, there was little concept of animal use, and it was unfamiliar because it was a special part of the horse industry. As the Horse Industry Promotion Act cannot solve this problem, we are looking for ways to cooperate with the horse industry by creating a livestock use industry in the parent corporation's livestock industry.

The government should allow legal online, which can also regulate the policy direction of the gambling industry, while easing offline sales regulations to increase competitiveness with illegality by giving it an opportunity to transform into a complex cultural space." As the Internet expands its influence in all areas of life, it is impossible to clearly manage the legal and illegal areas. "The gambling industry should be managed in a more sound direction, and we should continue to race for win-win efforts for joint development through shared growth among gambling industries while preventing indiscriminate spread." Director Kim, who is deeply interested in sports and cultural welfare policy studies, said, "We intend to continue to appeal the position of the horse racing industry to the academic world with various papers to the effect that horse racing sales should be maintained stably for the development of the horse industry, and that should be accompanied by fair regulation by the audit committee."

The reason for regulating the gambling industry started from the logic that it should be regulated because the gambling addiction rate is higher than that of foreign countries, but it is not reasonable to apply the gambling prevalence rate as a standard for setting the total sales volume by industry due to conflicting opinions among Korean scholars," Kim said in the conclusion. "The disproportionate policy to increase the prevalence rate in the total sales policy is asymmetric, so the excessive regulation should be eased in terms of equity." In this research paper, Kim advised that the horse industry should seek self-rescue measures as the gambling industry market is being reorganized into Toto and Lottery due to excessive regulations by the audit committee, and that legal gambling industries should seek a win-win plan toward a common goal of expanding the legal market against illegal markets.

Regarding the installation of equestrian facilities, the problems of whether or not to install large-scale equestrian facilities in the agricultural promotion zone and the inability to build large-scale equestrian facilities in the green belt have not been solved yet. There is also a problem that worsens the management of the equestrian industry due to the inability to use electricity for agriculture. I think this is a problem that arose due to the fundamental problem of whether the equestrian facility itself is an agricultural facility or a livestock facility. There are some parts that have not been resolved due to the lack of legal stability.

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.

It is intended to revive the spirit that participation in horse racing betting is for donations. When categorizing the types of social contribution projects, there are three stages: one stage where donations are limited, two stages where volunteering is made along with donations, and three stages: donation and volunteer participation and social value creation. Our Let's Run Foundation is currently in the process of transitioning to the third stage. Based on the Korean Horse Association and related organizations, the Let's Run Foundation will continue its active social contribution program using horses and through talent donation by horse officials. A "better tomorrow with horses" is never a dream. The Let's Run Foundation thinks that a world where words make all people happy is tomorrow. Personally, I think I am extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work as the secretary-general.

We will still have to wait to see the Boram. Rather than rewarding, there is no clear solution to the chronic problems, such as difficulty in accessing horse riding facilities, expensive experiencing horse riding fees, and problems such as falling out and safety when using.We have created a public riding ground near the city, improved the insurance system, promoted stabilization of horse riding management, and launched personal riding insurance late last year and are continuing this year. I thought about whether to use government-funded personal riding insurance, but it was canceled at the last stage, which is a pity.

The development of the horse industry begins with the horse racing industry, which is a lifeline. In order for the horse industry to become a new growth engine in the rural economy, it is obvious that a huge amount of financial resources must be raised, and for this purpose, the revitalization of the horse racing industry is the driving force. Real innovation begins with communication and sharing. In order to cope with the current horse racing crisis, this identity of horse racing must be established, and I hope that racing media, a traditional horse racing media, will play a role as a channel for communication and sharing of the horse racing industry.
