Cooperative. It refers to a non-profit organization in which farmers and small and medium-sized business owners, who are economically weak, gather to purchase, produce, sell, and consume goods. There have been no cooperatives in the horse industry. Although the union was promoted mainly by some representatives of horse racing courses, it is still sluggish due to practical problems such as not being able to sympathize with the union's philosophy of pursuing "non-profit" or not finding a leader. Although Jeju Island was designated as a special horse industry zone on January 2 this year, the Korean horse industry is still in its infancy. It is also time to prepare for the growth of the horse racing industry, which will become a major sports activity in the $30,000 era. However, there is a limitation that Jeju has only a group of producers. They joined forces with experts from all walks of life, companies related to value-added industries, and travel agencies to develop the horse industry, a new growth engine.

Racing Media CEO Kim Moon-young, who presented the race, pointed out that the current military system needs to be completely reorganized through a comparison of the race system between Seoul and Pukyong, and argued that horse racing competitions should be improved to a system tailored to individual characteristics. Regarding the distribution of prize money in the ranking, it should be faithful to the fundamental nature of horse racing, which is the loss of the championship, but this forces the sacrifice of the opponents, and said that the profit-making part should gradually increase for the development of the horse racing industry. In conclusion, Kim said that the biggest difference in the system between Seoul and Pukyong can be summarized as stable operation and infinite competition, and argued that the only answer to resolving various conflicts between Seoul and Pukyong is to unify all implementation systems.
