To reflect changing consumer preferences and sustain past glories, horse racing needs to consider several factors: cooperation, communication, and a vision for the future. All popular sports operate based on the close teamwork of all participants, including athletes, teams, sponsors, and fans. Upgrading Korean horse racing requires cooperation among all stakeholders based on improving the quality of racing products, and collaboration within the areas that make up these products is of utmost importance. A culture of cooperation cannot arise without mutual trust.

Domestic horses, including 'Triple Nine,' usually raced in Korea at intervals of five to six weeks. But in Dubai, he played every 20 days on average, a shorter interval. I raced four times over three months: January 19, February 9, March 5, and March 25. Because it was such a nice-sounding phrase, it didn't show on the surface, but I couldn't help thinking that I might have been drained of energy. Looking back, I can’t shake the thought that if they hadn’t played twice in the Dubai World Cup Carnival,

Soccer is seeking revival by creating a culture of sharing—connecting players with audiences and audiences with each other—through social media. I believe that if the culture of communication between spectators and the racers (horses and jockeys) does not become active, and if there is no shared story among the audience, things will become increasingly difficult in the future. A system should be established to communicate with the audience throughout the entire race, ensuring that the horse’s breathing, the jockey’s breath, screams, and shouts are transmitted vividly over the air. Fields like this must be developed quickly for the survival of horse racing. And it is the future that we need to ponder more deeply.

It is one of the most difficult tasks assigned to headquarters. The third is to spark a digital revolution by integrating horse racing content with ICT. Recently, popular sports such as soccer and baseball have been using ICT to enhance their marketability and connect consumers. I believe it is time for horse racing to respond to these changes. The fourth is the theme park project to turn LetsRun Park into a mecca of horse culture. Until now, racetracks had only had betting, but no culture. Now is the time for LetsRun Park to be reborn as a hub of horse culture. We aim to make LetsRun Park a theme park that coexists with the local community, contributes to the public’s leisure, and instills a nostalgia for horses.

Whenever my horse runs in a regular race, I drop everything and head to the racetrack. In fact, doing a 9 to 10-hour long flight at a relatively young age is no easy task. However, I think it is the owner's duty to be there when their horse is galloping. And there are also things I must see. I'm not exactly free, but I think it ultimately depends on one's determination.Looking back now, I can’t help but feel regret that I only got to play one match at the Dubai World Cup Carnival.

Following a poor performance in October, his results in November were also disappointing, so he spent two months resting. Perhaps because of that experience, participating in an international competition was not entirely welcome, and I felt a sudden reluctance to take part. So I asked which horses would be competing in Korea, and they said 'Power Blade,' 'Mainstay,Different Dimension,and 'Seoul Bullet' would be participating.Since 'Triple Nine' was selected as the national representative horse for two consecutive years,

In a way, I believe the horse racing industry has continued to operate just as it did when it first emerged. However, society has changed at an unpredictable pace, and I believe that ICT is the driving force behind these changes. In this regard, I see the integration of horse racing and ICT as the path forward. ICT can alleviate the high-cost structure of the horse racing industry and provide a ubiquitous environment with diverse information that can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere. No matter how much horse racing is conducted under international and universal rules, I believe it must evolve to reflect the contemporary needs of its people or customers in order to survive.

Looking at examples abroad, older people also enjoy horseback riding. In South Korea, older people may not be able to hike due to leg pain, but if they know how to ride a horse a little, they can definitely go on an outing. Many local governments are creating cross-country cycling routes, and since these trails are not strictly for running, I think they will establish themselves as a suitable leisure activity even for older people.An MOU has already been signed with Jeju National University,

However, the Jangjesa Association within the Korea Racing Authority proposed that our association purchase a booth at KINTEX and operate it together with the association. I thought it was a good idea and was going to do so, but the organizers said that gas cylinders or stovetops for burning cannot be used indoors. At that moment, they received a request to set up a jangje booth next to the venue of a horseback riding competition in Gyeonggi Province to help boost the event’s atmosphere.Since I couldn't conduct the funeral indoors,

Until last year, we did not request support from the association, but this year we requested support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for the first time. When I submitted plans for crop system education, competitions, and training to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, I was told that since the ministry oversees more than one association, it could not provide support for the requests of any association. That's a given and a valid point. When I asked if there was any way to provide at least partial support,

At the time, I was puzzled because I didn't understand what they were saying, but later I realized it was incredibly embarrassing. After returning to Korea, the Korean funeral directors who had gone to Japan for training did not pass on the skills and information they had learned from their juniors, instead carrying those skills onto their own shoulders. After learning the reason, I thought that if things continued like this, it would be difficult for our textile technology to progress.

You have to give the horse attention and love. Actually, it's more fun to raise them than to ride horses. If you give love, they become closer than a friend. In words, they are pets and companion animals closest to people. There was a time when I used to play music every morning to wake the horses up. A true horseman should know that, instead of overworking his horse to death, it is important to ride by observing the horse’s breathing and then his own.

Because I am grateful for words that protect my health and offer their backs for me.

Chairman Lee Geon-yeong's support, we researched methods to remove bad walls, manage retired horses, and maintain stable hygiene. I even managed and raised as many as sixteen horses. While doing various kinds of research, I happened to discover that horses like bathing the day after the sand turns, and I especially liked the sand from Hapcheon Lake, so I even imported it to build a horse bathhouse and swimming pool. It was so happy to go beside a sleeping horse,

Even on the afternoon of Saturday, February 25, when I covered Haman County Equestrian Park, Mr. Gu was once again showing off his enduring vigor, riding a horse without fail. At first, I just thought he was an elderly man who had been riding for a long time, but my perception soon changed. Having dismounted, he was talking to the horse on the stirrup post as he gave it the carrots and sugar he had brought from home.Jo Gyeong-je, director of Haman County Equestrian Park,

Until now, the main park has been created and developed according to the tastes of past chairpersons, falling short of expectations in terms of identity and efficiency. Chairman Hyun Myung-kwan faced the same dilemma, but he presented a clear vision of a “horse theme park” at his inauguration and has been advancing it with consistent policies. There are three main reasons for pursuing the theme park project. First is the mission as a public enterprise. The Korea Racing Authority was established to promote the national economy and the development of the horse industry, as well as to enhance the welfare of the people and enable them to enjoy their leisure time. Horse racing is a means necessary to achieve these public interest objectives.

With the development of patches, equestrian wear has become much more fashionable than it once was. It has advanced to the point where, even if ordinary people wear them casually, they are hardly distinguishable from riding attire. Because the riding outfit has such a flattering fit, it can sometimes feel like you're just wearing a jacket. I hope this becomes riding attire that allows us to go out to the riding arena and return home wearing our clothes like this.
