TEST008

Just as I was about to enter society, I saw a job posting from the Korea Racing Authority hiring a female announcer. At the time, it was true that I only had a vague understanding of horse racing and had no knowledge whatsoever of what it was really like. I decided to take the test because I felt I had to find a job anywhere, and that’s how my connection with horses began.There were only a few female employees at the Korea Racing Authority, so you can imagine how bad it must have been at the massage parlor. There were no female riders at the time either, and it was literally a forbidden zone for women. One day was a hot summer day, and I once drove a broadcast vehicle to a massage parlor for reporting.

When I burned a lot, I even earned 500,000 won, and yet I said I was happy. What started that way has now been recognized for its effort, receiving certification as a sixth-sector industry, and with government support, it is becoming more stable.My wife had no connection to words. We met through an introduction, and by going on dates and hanging out together, my wife naturally became familiar with the language as well. I bought three horses, and the two of us went out together and went on a lot of dates, and that’s how it ended up coming to this point.

I ran around with the camera director, literally creating a broadcast from A to Z, and it was so much fun that I think I never even considered moving elsewhere because of it. Even now, the excitement and passion from that time remain just the same.Even I had never thought about the idea of a woman broadcasting horse racing. A few horse racing fans posted in the Horse Racing Love Room jokingly asking, “What if a woman did the commentary?” and at the time, Team Leader Kim Yong-cheol noticed it. Team Leader Kim Yong-chul is the person who, together with us, created the very foundation of horse racing broadcast content. Because they had watched me diligently running around for nine years, they must have believed me, so they made a proposal.

On the same day, Moon Dae-rim, a preliminary candidate for governor of Jeju Province, also released a statement regarding Father McGrinchie’s death, saying,Father McGrinchie is a true saint who worked for Jeju his entire life He also said,Although his body has left us, Father McGrinchie’s affection and love for Jeju will continue to touch the hearts of Jeju people like a warm spring rain,adding,In honor of Father McGrinchie’s wishes, we will devote ourselves fully to building a warm economy,

Believing that one cannot approach God unless one is free from poverty,Father McGlinchey led Jeju toward modernization by establishing a livestock industry base and social welfare facilities in Jeju, which had been struggling in poverty due to the Jeju 4·3 Incident and the Korean War.Meanwhile, in a condolence message sent by President Moon Jae In mourning Father McGrinchie’s passing, he said,He came to Jeju, devastated by the April 3rd Incident and the Korean War, as a ray of hope.

At first, I hesitated, holding onto the same prejudices as everyone else—whether a woman could speak so fluently, or whether, when excited and her tone rose, she might say things I wouldn’t want to hear. After receiving the proposal, I watched a broadcast video that seniors had done and tried saying the lines, and my heart started pounding. The feeling of “Ah, I want to try this at least once” stirred within me. I think I practiced hard from then on. Since there were hardly any cases in other countries either, it was truly a battle fought alone. Since I had seen the flow of Gyeongju over many years of working there, I was able to read it easily. However, the really difficult part was having to describe and explain the situation quickly and without pause.

Father McGlinchey’s funeral hall was set up until April 26 at the Korean branch of the Congregation of Saint Columban of Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, on the first floor of the church, and at Hallim Church in the Diocese of Jeju. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on April 27 at the Trinity Cathedral of the St. Isidore Community in Geumak-ri, Jeju, and on the afternoon of the 30th, a memorial Mass will be held by the Korean branch of the Congregation of Saint Columban of the Foreign Missions, after which he will be laid to rest at the cemetery of Sister Clara of the St. Isidore parish.

Jockey Park Tae-jong is still very shy during interviews, but back then he was so embarrassed that he would tap 100 times just to say a single word. During that process, we became very close, and later on, jockey Park Tae-jong was even joking around in front of the camera. The process of getting to know a person in their entirety through the medium of broadcasting taught and made me realize so much.I also remember the series that was carried out under the title “On-site Exploration.” What I always feel while working here is that fans, since they watch the races while betting money, seem inevitably filled with misunderstandings and distrust.

They introduced Yahu-di,the 2006 Japan Cup winner, as a broodmare, and also brought in Exton Park,the foal of Mr. Park,who set the record for the longest winning streak in Korean horse racing.Believing that “one cannot approach God unless one is free from poverty,” he was awarded the Order of Industrial Service Merit for Stone Pagodas of Korea in 1972, and in 1975 he received the Magsaysay Award in the International Understanding category. In recognition of his service for over 60 years, he was awarded the Order of Civil Merit,

In 1970, he opened Seong Isidore Clinic and sometimes provided free medical treatment to extremely poor patients.In 1962, he also established the Hallim Credit Cooperative, the first of its kind in Jeju Island and the first in rural areas across Korea. They also established social welfare facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, care facilities, kindergartens, senior universities, and youth training centers using the profits generated from the farm business. In March 2002, Seong Isidore Hospital reopened as the Seong Isidore Welfare Clinic with a hospice focus,

He bought a Yorkshire piglet born in Incheon and brought it all the way to Hallim,

In that case, sometimes the scarcity of women can be helpful. Conversely, for those people, I was an unusual presence, and because I attracted a lot of attention, it seemed somewhat easier to request coverage or ask for cooperation. My basic disposition is that I tend to always want to be new rather than doing what I’ve always done. In fact, there are often many attempts made with good intentions, but they are frequently left unfinished. But finishing even one of the ten tasks means I’ve clearly grown a step further than if I had stayed put without taking on any challenge, and that gives me energy.

He lamented the situation where no official from the speaking parties is advocating for an increase in the refund rate, and even if everyone stepped forward to lead the effort to raise it, it remains unclear whether it will change, yet they are pushing only their own demands. He argued that the one task is to persuade and fight the National Assembly and the government so that the domestic horse racing refund rate, which can be called the worst in the world at 73%,

Regarding this strike, he emphasized, Even if it is a right of the KCTU, people should know that horse racing is a completely different industry from other manufacturing and service sectors,” stressing that ignoring the fairness of horse racing, which is conducted through free competition, and focusing solely on income distribution rather than competition does not fit with the horse racing system.They said they knew that since last year, a KCTU official has been stationed at Busan-Gyeongnam Racecourse Park

Kim Byung-hong argued,The fairness of horse racing is achieved through free competition, and focusing only on income distribution does not fit at all with the horse racing system.”First, CEO Kim Byung-hong said regarding the indefinite strike by the Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions’ Public Transport Workers’ Union and the Busan-Gyeongnam Horse Pilgrim Workers’ Union, “Do not incite people for your own benefit by rallying those who have quietly

At the time, it was that serious, and I desperately wanted to show them the living scene. I hoped that the hard work, determination, passion, and hardships of the people involved, as I portrayed them, could help dispel even a little of the fans’ misunderstandings. It was a 15-minute show centered on horses or people, and I think that was a period when I ran around a lot and met many people, allowing me to grow.At the time, the broadcasting team only had announcers, and there were no producers, writers, or even editors. So when things got urgent, I even took the camera myself to film, and I also handled editing, directing, and composition by myself.

Even a foreign horse with good bloodlines cannot beat a domestic horse with winning experience when it has no racing experience. In addition, foreign horses must compete against horses that have won and advanced from grade 4, but if they are forced to train excessively to match the competition, there is also a risk that the horses will break down quickly.If we purchase many quality horses from abroad, we will naturally receive high-quality horses as well, which will also help the development of Korean horse racing.

test008

Some senior advisors say that prices should be tied again, but that is wrong. Then we go back to the old days again. The reason domestic horses don’t perform well against foreign horses such as Japanese and Singaporean horses is that, due to the price restrictions, fewer quality horses have entered the market. Although the Korea Racing Authority has brought in and is supporting several good stallions, they cannot beat horses bought from abroad. We must move toward a system of autonomous competition.

Wouldn’t it be better to have the person facing each other run from two places rather than having them buy horses and race only at one racetrack. Horses with somewhat less speed but good endurance are more likely to succeed in Busan than in Seoul, whereas horses with better speed than endurance are more likely to succeed in Seoul than in Busan. If you only have one chance to spend a lot of money to buy a horse, it is such a waste and a loss. Make people who can’t speak in Busan run in Seoul,
