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.

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.

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.

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,

In particular, Chairman Cheon said, "Since the launch of the Personal Horse Racing System, there have been no questions regarding it, but I would like to take this opportunity to conduct an in-depth review and ask for your valuable insights that can be used to support the promotion of the horse racing suspension event."Former president Kang Yong-sik (7th–8th president of the Seoul Owners’ Association) said, “There should have been a full-scale protest when the 17 horse racing reform proposals were presented. In the first emergency committee, the compromise proposal was opposed despite long preparation and review, but the second committee was concerned because the period was short. The Korea Racing Authority’s decision to cancel the Mountain Integrated Gyeongju due to separate voting was a tremendous achievement for the Emergency Response Committee.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.
