This amendment to the Farmland Act is expected to preserve the original purpose and intent of the current farmland conservation charge system by allowing the application of different standards for imposing the charge both inside and outside agricultural promotion areas.In addition, current law requires that if a person who must pay the farmland preservation charge fails to pay by the deadline, a demand letter specifying a period of 10 days or less shall be issued within 10 days after the deadline

Although it may seem delayed, the revival of online betting appears to be something that must be restored in order to legitimize the underground economy and help the horse racing industry overcome its crisis.A horse racing fan who was blocked from entering the Yongsan branch on the 7th said, “I don’t understand why they are making innocent horse racing fans suffer just to support their own claims.” Are they the only people? I am a citizen too. And the Korea Racing Authority should also make sure there are no inconveniences for horse racing fans if they are to serve them," he vented in frustration. In particular, the protesters on the opposite side drew frow-worthy attention by even blocking the elderly people who use the cultural center from entering.

In 2003, they built a racehorse ranch with a total site area exceeding 4.9 million square meters, and began sales operations and owner activities focusing on horse breeding and training and acclimatization. In 2007, while expanding the horse massage facility, he also devoted himself to horse welfare by subjecting horses to taming and training before entering the racetrack, and introduced an advanced horse industry to Korea.

The revisions include expanding the scope of the project, establishing grounds for online betting to comply with the full real-name system and purchase limits, and strengthening penalties for misconduct in horse racing.As the Integrated Supervision Commission for the Gambling Industry, which had long maintained strict regulatory policies toward the legal gambling industry, shows signs of changing its stance, the possibility of the horse racing industry resuming online betting is increasing.Recent estimates from the media and academia suggest that the scale of illegal gambling amounts to between 100 trillion and 160 trillion won, and the resulting tax evasion is also reported to reach up to 8 trillion won (estimated by the Korea Institute of Criminology in 2014).

The history of Jeju Seong Isidore, which has already surpassed half a century, began this way.Father Patrick McGrinchie, who founded the Seong Isidore Ranch in Jeju and carried out missionary work and various social projects on the rugged land of Jeju for more than 60 years, passed away on April 23 at 6:27 p.m. On April 9, he was hospitalized at Jeju Halla Hospital for ischemic heart disease, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, and received treatment before returning to his hometown at the age of 90.

At the preliminary market, the trainer said that if we just let the horses run as they go, they could definitely achieve good results. I think the good result came from developing the game with the fast-starting “Fly Top Queen” and “Joy Lucky” in mind. The horse was in good condition from the start, and from Tuesday we began serious training and worked out our rhythm. I’m very happy to have won, and even while I’m active in Japan, if there’s a race in Korea in the future, I’d like to come often and say hello.At the end of last year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs completed a commissioned study titled “Measures to Revitalize Off-Track Betting Venues,” which included 15 key tasks for revitalizing off-track betting venues, including an online betting system.

Despite calls from various sectors to focus enforcement and prevention on illegal gambling activities, the Gambling Supervision Commission consistently maintained strong regulatory policies toward the legal gambling industry. However, it appears that these policies ultimately caused a balloon effect, and signs are gradually emerging that the commission’s policy is beginning to change.Recently, the Gambling Supervisory Commission has hinted at allowing the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Racing Authority to resume online betting, but it is known to be demanding thorough preparations to prevent gambling addiction, such as implementing a real-name system and adhering to purchase limits.The abolition of online betting, which goes against the times, has, in turn, caused inconvenience to horse racing fans, worsened the viewing environment, and led to a lack of service.

Since taking office as chairman of the Rural Hope Foundation, in partnership with the KRA, last March, he has had a special connection with the horse industry and is regarded as a key figure who can integrate our agriculture and rural areas with the horse industry. While serving as Vice President of the Korea Rural Economic Institute, he attended a forum on improving the racehorse tax system for the development of agriculture and livestock, and served as an advisor to the Korea Rural Horse Industry Association.

Mentioning the necessity of changing the philosophy of agricultural policy and introducing an innovation system, it said, “We must emphasize the justification for government support by pointing out that farmers’ efforts to strengthen their public-interest functions require a price in return from the public,” adding that this is a time when the roles of farmers’ organizations, civic social groups, and the National Agriculture Forum are expected to be important.After reminding that the public interest function of agriculture had not yet been enshrined in the Constitution,

Representative Jung Myung-chae said, “It has been 10 years since we launched the National Agriculture Forum with the hope that agriculture would become one in which consumers, civil society organizations, and the public can come together with shared interest and support.” He added, “Although the current state of agriculture is in crisis, agriculture is a life industry, so “we need groundbreaking policies and broad public support to revive our life industry, stabilize farm household incomes, and sustain rural communities.

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.

Only then can the quality of Korean horse racing improve. 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.

You must not think that your prize money will be taken away. Through integration, Seoul owners could also list horses in Busan and entrust them to well-managed trainers, potentially winning races held in Busan, and Busan owners could list horses in Seoul and claim victories in races held in Seoul. Isn’t it contradictory that our country’s central horse racing is in Seoul and its results don’t match those of Busan. There are only a few racetracks in the country, so they should be merged.

At the time, the Korea Racing Authority felt somewhat uncomfortable about the establishment of the Korea Owners’ Association, so cooperation was not very strong, but thanks to the tireless efforts of the founding president, it was barely made, and because of that, I was able to become its seventh president. The past presidents did a good job, but I believe what I need to do going forward is to unify the Busan and Seoul counterpart associations.Above all, the integration of the Majoo region is the top priority.

This horse was purchased by my father during the U.S. auction, and my mother has been registered as the owner and has been taking care of it. Although I haven’t been following Gyeongju consistently, I thought that, given the horse’s characteristics, it suits Korean racing well, so I decided to enter this competition. I usually support you, so I’m very happy that you put on such a good race. His father is registered as a foreigner in Korea, and he wants to contribute to the development of Korean horse racing by introducing training facilities and technologies to Jeju. I want to take today’s joy to Japan and fully enjoy it there as well.

Park Sung-ki, Secretary General of the Supervisory Committee, said, “Although three active police officers are dispatched to the committee, the conditions are poor for actual enforcement,” emphasizing the need for budget, organization, and cooperation for cracking down on illegal gambling.Lee Won-hee, head of the Public Institutions Research Center at the Korea Institute of Public Finance, stated, “Introducing a competitive system to expand and legitimize the market can also be one way to reduce illegal markets.” Meanwhile, Park Sung-ki, secretary-general of the Integrated Supervisory Commission on the Gambling Industry, stressed the need for budget, organization, and cooperation to crack down on illegal gambling.

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,

The horses that Korean athletes are riding are more expensive and of a higher level than those of Japan. I understand that the price of horses used by Korean athletes participating in various competitions, such as the Asian Games, is more than double that of Japanese athletes’ horses. In Korea, the horses used by the athletes vary in price, and the athletes also go to the United States or Europe to receive individual training. However, most Japanese athletes are active within Japan, and they compete while working at riding clubs with just a horse.

The government, which is promoting public sector reform through the normalization of public institutions as a core task of the three-year economic innovation plan, has decided to pursue functional reallocation, strengthening of core functions, and expanded private sector participation in 87 public institutions across three major sectors: social overhead capital (SOC), agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and culture and arts.The operations of 52 institutions were to be coordinated, and among them, 4 institutions were to be abolished.The Ministry of Economy and Finance stated that this functional adjustment was prepared through consultations with experts, policy forums, and feedback from related ministries, and that it aims to channel the personnel and resources secured through consolidating similar and overlapping functions, abolishing or downsizing areas where direct execution by the public sector is unnecessary, and reducing excessive support organizations to strengthening core functions.
