An innovation plan is not something that can be completed in just a day or two. He said, "We need to make them realize that looking for past precedents to claim they can do it within their own term is a hasty assumption." In particular, he said that the implementing body and the Seoul Owners’ Association were having an emotional dispute over unrelated matters and even advised them to use the previously legislated Horse Racing Development Committee or the higher authority, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.Emergency Committee Chairman Cheon Byung-deuk stated, "We cannot stand against the Korea Racing Authority's tyranny and the kind of pressure that would not even exist in a single-vehicle system unless it is by emergency means," adding, "We have an effective way to minimize the aftereffects."

Despite these efforts by the horse racing community, various new regulations are being introduced that are not seen in other horse racing countries.This situation is concerning,as it undermines the racing community's efforts to modernize the sport. Moreover,the many stalled and regrettable aspects of the innovation plan for change and reform that the Korea Racing Authority has been ambitiously pursuing are also holding back the development of horse racing due to collective selfishness.

Jang Jeong-gi, chairman of the Inland Producers Association, said, "Rather than focusing on the details of the horse racing reform plan, we drafted an agreement with the Korea Racing Authority from a principled standpoint. He said, "The Korea Racing Authority tells us not to worry about a decline in domestic horse purchases due to the integration of production areas, but I told Chairman Hyeon Myung-kwan that concerns are high on the ground, and he instructed me to convey that the merits of purchasing domestic horses are sufficient," adding, "Once the consultative body is formed, it will reflect the voices of related organizations on the ground rather than being pushed forward unilaterally by the Authority."

Currently,Korean horse racing is setting a direction to enter the ranks of advanced racing to make a new leap forward.Recently,the Pukyong bu gyeongju horseTriple Nine achieved a remarkable feat by competing closely with top foreign racehorses in the Godolphin Mile,one of the world's premier races at the Dubai World Cup,while Mainstay secured victory in the Dubai World Cup preliminaries.In addition,many changes and efforts are underway,including the implementation of appropriate horse racing operations,

The horses in Jeju do not even look at people when called, run away when they see people, and become wary if someone approaches them. Foreign languages are not like that. It is important that the mindset shifts from simply breeding horses to following people and producing safe horses. Awareness should focus on how to raise and train horses and how to develop products that meet consumer expectations. Next, people—specialized personnel—must be created.An industry without demand cannot last. The horse industry faces the problem of having sufficient product value and potential demand, but currently lacking demand. The reason is that it has not been 'commercialized.'

Horse Racing Culture Newspaper has faithfully fulfilled its role as a leading publication in horse racing by delivering industry trends without alteration, offering suggestions and advice for the development of horse racing including institutional improvements and expanding the horizons of Korean horse racing and has made great efforts to enhance public awareness of the sport. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to CEO Kim Moon young of the Horse Racing Culture Newspaper,

And those efforts can not only expand the base of equestrianism but also return as reinvestment for the industry.Starting this fall semester, Sejong University's Graduate School of Industry will launch the country's first master's program in the 'Horse Industry.' We ask many people involved in the horse industry to take interest and participate. I believe that if master's program experts are produced with the active support of the horse industry sector, it will greatly contribute to the development of the industry.

Support must also be provided in full and with full backing.Gathering entrepreneurs for programs and events is several times more effective than targeting the general public. If these individuals become passionate about equestrianism, they could contribute to its development through sponsorship. The grassroots equestrian competitions promoted by the Korea Racing Authority also have a good purpose, so if they attract businesspeople, sponsorships for corporate promotion could naturally follow.

Even the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries seems completely uninterested, repeatedly stating in external reports and plans that programs are needed and development should be pursued to promote and revitalize equestrianism. For a while, I expressed those opinions and even proposed projects, but I haven't heard back. Since there's been no feedback at all, I don't even talk to them anymore.Each semester,

As a supervising professor, I was on the front lines to ensure students could attend equestrian classes safely and properly, so I gradually internalized these skills through hands-on experience.Just as business leaders contributed to the growth of golf, they must take the lead in revitalizing the culture of equestrian consumption. It is regrettable that the horse industry shows no interest in the fact that the participants of the equestrian culture CEO program are composed of such opinion leaders.

Just as entrepreneurs contributed to the growth of golf, they could have played a leading role in promoting equestrianism, but the horse industry is showing no interest, which is regrettable.As mentioned earlier, don’t speak negatively of other riding centers; instead, find your own unique characteristics and give them a distinct identity. In the mobile era, simply saying we are the best riding center to consumers who choose everything in the palm of their hand is not enough.

There are issues of service, safety, and efficiency when it comes to commercialization. In fact, horseback riding is a safe sport. It's because of poor management. For example, I personally think it is dangerous to convert retired racehorses into riding horses. Given their sensitive temperament and the fact that retired racehorses still retain aggressive exercise and sprinting habits, using them as riding horses increases the risk of accidents. To achieve this, conversion training should be conducted systematically, or, as with the Japanese Crane Horse Riding Club, use a structured and limited approach that does not include group or external riding.

A veterinary medicine PhD, former head of the Clinical Affairs Division, senior expert committee member, chief judge, and director of the project division at the Korea Racing Authority’s Equine Health Institute, and a professor at his alma mater, Seoul National University College of Veterinary Medicine, is dedicated to training the next generation of scholars in the field of the Jeju horse industry and the horse racing sector.Kim Byung-seon, head of the Department of Massa at Jeju Halla University, was at the forefront of the birth of the Korean horse industry and is now accelerating efforts to stimulate demand and cultivate specialized talent to serve as a catalyst in the field of education. We conducted an interview with Dean Kim Byung-seon on the afternoon of February 2nd in the Dean’s office of the Department of Mass Studies at Jeju Halla University.

Golf, considered a nearby leisure sport, makes good use of this. In the past, golf instructors would pressure their clients by boasting that they were former players while teaching. However, as golf became more popular and widespread, the market grew and competition intensified. In addition, as consumers’ understanding of golf has improved, the industry has shifted from focusing on brands to a more customer-centric approach. The equestrian industry could do better by paying a little more attention and following suit, but they are not making such efforts.

Relevant organizations should establish standards for industry standardization, and educational institutions such as schools should ensure that standardized services are provided to consumers through the development of active educational programs. Only then can the overall image of the horse industry improve and continue to develop.When you visit a riding club, they are quick to belittle others, claiming they are the best. But that's just self-sabotage. Rather, they should start by improving basic facilities like changing rooms and showers,

The master's program in the 'Horse Industry,' launching this fall, is accepting applications until July 20. If applications are received within the deadline, acceptance will be notified after document screening. Our graduate school offers a variety of scholarships and a wide range of majors, so you should choose one that interests you. The tuition is also relatively affordable, at around 3.7 million won. And upon completing the master's program, you may receive preferential treatment when applying for a doctoral program at Sejong University.

Whether you are abroad or in a regional area, as long as you have the will, you can learn. If you want to learn about the Korean language industry, you are not limited by spatial constraints, even in countries like China and Southeast Asia. Since the courses can be conducted from a distance, instructors currently teaching can earn their master's degrees without having to come to the classroom. And it is also possible to graduate by completing major courses instead of a thesis.

Of course not. We will invite top experts from the horse industry to conduct the classes. Someone who has both skill and reputation. Since it is a graduate program, it would likely be for someone with a master's degree or higher. Some may question the absence of a curriculum. This may be a point of misunderstanding for some, but the basic curriculum of our graduate school is well established. It is well structured, segmented into marketing, services, distribution, facility management,
