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,

He said, "Even if the other opponents vote for me, I will refuse to play this week."Former chairman Han Gwang-se (Gwacheon Club) said, “The fundamental issue is that we cannot even accept the innovation plan itself, and that the Korea Racing Authority’s behavior over the past 20 years must be corrected.” If you miss this opportunity, what matters is whether you can make it next time. If they yield now, it will take a considerable amount of time for the new executive team to reverse course. He stated, "Regardless of whether one supports or opposes the refusal to vote for participation, this point must be taken into consideration."Chairman Ji Seong-han (2nd–3rd president of the Seoul Owners Association) said, “It is certain that Chairman Hyeon Myung-gwan is an outstanding businessman, but he does not have a deep perspective on horse racing.

For an industry to advance, the number of experts in that field must increase. In that regard, establishing a graduate master's program specialized in the 'word industry' is highly meaningful.The major in Horse Industry Management comprehensively covers a wide range of fields, including professional and recreational sports, rehabilitation, facilities, equipment, fashion, and tourism. The training focuses on horses, covering topics from marketing and services to rehabilitation training using medicine.

While at the Korea Racing Authority, he focused solely on managing racing products, but after moving to Jeju to teach students, he has turned his attention to the production, training, and development processes—the foundation of the horse industry—and is working harder to advance related industries. Our country's horse industry still has weak foundations, such as capital and workforce levels, and demand generation is particularly low.It is necessary to break away from the traditional methods that have been followed for generations, adopt new perspectives, and introduce new approaches. The existing method cannot meet the demand. A prime example is producing, breeding, and training safe horses, safe horses, and horses that are friendly to people.

Starting this fall semester, the first master's program in the 'horse industry' in Korea will be launched. I led this effort while studying the Department of Sports Industry at Sejong University's Graduate School of Industry. The Department of Sports Industry offers four majors: Equine Industry Management, Sports Marketing, Sports Medicine, and Leisure Sports Tourism. I began to feel that I was truly blinded by the word, and that I wanted to develop the horse industry into a genuine industry.

Until now, there have been two ways to obtain a license for farriers: through the national qualification exam or the Korea Racing Authority’s training program. By passing a national qualification exam, one could become a passenger horse handler, and by obtaining certification through the Korea Racing Authority’s training program, one could become a racehorse handler. However, recently, the Korea Racing Authority abolished its own handler training course certification exam,

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.'

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."
