As the Yongsan Police Station launched an investigation into 17 opposition committee officials accused of obstructing the operation of the Yongsan OTC, which began its pilot opening at the end of June, opposition parties are expected to reduce political intervention in Yongsan OTC as opposition parties such as the New Politics Alliance for Democracy, which were criticized for intervening in the controversy over the Yongsan OTC, suffered a crushing defeat in the July 30 by-elections, which is expected to lead to a reduction in political intervention in the issue related to the Yongsan OTC. Yongsan Police Station conducted an investigation into 17 opposition committee members accused of obstruction of business and violation of the assembly and demonstration law on July 28 and 31.

If you trained horses that were never trained before and trained them together during the racehorse training process, you can now focus on training the racehorse and participating in the race. The overall level will be very high. From 2018 to 2023, 100% of the horses that passed the driving inspection will be allowed in. The road map was drawn in this way. I got approval and promulgated it, and last year, I gave a briefing session to managers, assistant teachers, technicians, and riders. Last year, I made a standard manual. There is a way to nurture and train them. I actually made it on CD with the training. The problem was that after I made the data, I said, "I made this. Please attend," but there was something that the farmers didn't come and didn't know.

Last year, a roadmap was drawn from the mid- to long-term race resource management plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Jeju horse racing. Horses that have not been trained and whose level of training has not been evaluated at all come directly into the racehorse. It takes about 90 days from here to start the training and go to the race. We cannot keep taking this system. Step by step, some of the horses that have finished the starting test at first are allowed in. In the next step, only horses that have passed the 100% start test are allowed in. In the next step, some who have passed the driving test come in, and then only horses that have passed 100% come in. We have prepared a system in which if they pass on the day of employment,

The school's health law is the minimum standard necessary for students to receive education, the principals said. "The school's health law should consider suspending the operation of the racetrack, which threatens the safety of students, considering not only the physical environment but also the psychological environment."In addition, the principals demanded, "The National Assembly should pass the bill proposed to ensure a safe educational environment as soon as possible, and President Park Geun Hye should respond to the tearful appeals of young students." Earlier, on the 25th of last month, 791 teachers from 369 schools nationwide issued a resolution to "immediately stop the operation of video racetracks that threaten students' right to learn and safety."

With the signing of an agreement on industrial development at the end of February 2016, the obstacles to going to Jeju Horse Racing were resolved. I couldn't take the Jeju Horse Racing the way it is now. I had to provide customers with products that I didn't feel ashamed of.First of all, we have prepared a 'school system' that systematically conducts production from the production process. Last year, we first reviewed good research data on how to produce Thoroughbred and foster it before and after. There are many data related to Thoroughbred in foreign countries and Korea, but none of them were Jeju horses. Standards related to Thoroughbred could not be applied to Jeju horses. Therefore, last year, a standard manual for production, fostering, and training, and specification management suitable for Jeju horses, was created.

On the other hand, in the case of Jeju horses, there were no such efforts at all. The general public's perception of Jeju horses and even the horseracing staff's perception is that "Jeju horses can run with them in place." Like Thoroughbred, the process of production, training, and fostering is not systematic, but at some point, they are put into the race because they are old. As they enter the race without training, their professionalism decreases and there are many accidents. Horses also run less well. The quality of the race is generally poor with good horses. The Jeju Horse Racing Authority is broadcast in Seoul and Busan, and there were also complaints such as "I can't watch it" and "What kind of horse racing?" In fact, employees working at Let's Run Park Jeju have been thinking about this issue,

Jeon Sung-won, the current head of the win-win marketing division, and Kim Jin-gap, the head of the Jeju Regional Headquarters at the time of the agreement for the win-win development of the horse industry, are still communicating with farmers in a responsible manner on this important issue, constantly developing related policies and applying them to the field. At a special zone meeting held in Jeju in June last year, Jeon Sung-won, the head of the win-win marketing division, called for the central government's attention and set a direction with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province to foster Hallama, which will be removed from the racehorse from 2023, as Korea's representative passenger horse.

Although conditions for introducing foreign jockeys at the Singapore Turf Club are known to be strict, the Korean team has reportedly decided to participate in the event in a surprise move based on the excellent performance of the jockeys, hosting international competitions such as the "Korea Cup" and their status as part 2 racers. As of Tuesday, Moon began training at the Singaporean kranji, and is expected to race at night on Friday May 19 or at daytime on Sunday May 21. The license period is three months, which can be extended depending on the intention or activity history of the jockeys. In fact, this is the second time for Moon to go overseas. He was an invited jockey in Macau for three months in 2013, maintaining a winning rate of around 10 percent.

In response, many teachers across the country also expressed their opposition to the video race track in response to the students' cries. Today, the principals stood here to protect the students' right to education," he said. "The sight of people wishing for lethargy entering the racetrack clearly visible from the school will inevitably contaminate students with immoral values," he said.

Before I became interested in horses, I was just an ordinary student. Influenced by my father who runs a pig farming business, I went on to study livestock management, distribution and economics. At that time, I vaguely thought I should help my father's work. Since I was a child, I have seen and heard about pig farming and have encountered it often, so I never imagined that I would do anything else. It is planning to start producing love red. It plans to import three seed horses of excellent descent at the U.S. auction in November this year. Its goal is to produce its own racehorses and run them in the races so that the horses will perform well. The other is to make a ranch, a horse theme park like Northern Halls Park in Japan, and make it a famous tourist attraction.

From my third year of university to my graduation, I took horse riding classes conducted by the Korean Horse Association. I completed the 'University Student Horse Industry Technology Training Course' and the 'Ranch Management Course' conducted by the Korean Horse Association. During my vacation, I briefly helped with my work at a horse riding course on Jeju Island and learned horse riding. At the Jeju Race Horse Yield, I learned a lot about race horses, including their ancestry and development process. I mainly studied them through the Internet. There are not many data on horses in Korea, so I obtained information through foreign horse-related websites or YouTube. I usually use sites called bloodhorse or the hose, and there are a lot of data about race horses and horses that are necessary for breeding.

My father faced me and told me to study horses. At that time, I was studying livestock management, distribution, and economics at Konkuk University, and I thought I should ride horses to study horses. While riding horses, I began to communicate directly with horses. As I touched horses myself, I fell into the charm of horses without realizing it. I always read books and videos related to horses, and I looked for various educational programs to dream of raising horses. After graduating from university, I joined the Jeju Ranch as a contractor by chance. While working, I learned and learned a lot about horses. After the contract was over, I began to raise horses in earnest.

I thought I knew the horse well and studied it a lot, but raising a horse myself was different from what I thought. I dreamed of a life of running around and relaxing with a horse. However, in reality, there are many difficulties because there are many things to do besides horse management, such as grassland management, facility management, and government support. Currently, I am receiving help from my father and those around me who have a lot of experience in horses. Because I am young, I have the advantage of being able to work passionately. I can work for my horse without weighing this or that. I'm still lacking a lot right now, so I'm trying to gain as many experiences as possible.

When the court issued a ruling citing the application for an injunction against obstruction of business, the opposition committee said, "The targets we are trying to criticize through the rally are not customers of the massage parlors who pushed ahead with the operation without discussing with the residents," adding, "We will continue to hold a rally to demand the withdrawal of the stores without interfering with the operation of the horse racing society." As the principals of elementary, middle, and high schools in Yongsan make a joint declaration to side with the opposition committee's position, it is feared that the controversy over the over-the-counter sale of Yongsan will intensify again. On the afternoon of August 1, the principals of Yongsan, Seoul, issued a joint declaration against the over-the-counter sale of Yongsan, which is being piloted by the KRA Korean Horse Association.

The 'Mayon-a-horse' is continuing to develop, and the 'Mayon-a-horse' will play a role in creating the popularization of horseback riding in the future. I also have confidence in this. However, I don't know how long it will take. The final goal of the 'Mayon-a-horse' that Daemyung Group wants is to promote CSI5* to create an environment in which foreign players can bring their horses to Korea and have a normal horse-riding competition with existing horses. In addition, I pay respect to the management of Daemyung Group, who plays this role without being selfish. Horse-riding is politically intertwined due to a series of situations. In a way, the horse-riding people who have worked silently so far may be the victims of the Choi Soon-sil scandal.

The need for preservation is recognized when considering the fact that the court expressed its intention to continue illegal activities despite the court's 'decision to recommend reconciliation' in July and the large business losses of the horse society," he wrote in the decision. The court's ruling on citing the provisional injunction is taken for granted. Since the court already notified the two sides of the reconciliation recommendation that the two sides resolve the issue through consultation in July, the board of directors has decided to accept it, but of course, it has been carried out in the order of citation of the injunction because the opposition party has filed an objection claiming the closure unconditionally. An official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "The judicial institution, the most credible institution in the legalist country, has made a reasonable judgment," and added, "We will do our best to implement the pilot operation to resolve the conflict as soon as possible."

Horse auction' is a policy project of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In line with this, the auction part was added. It proceeded differently from the auction before. However, for the development of the horse industry,fundamental measures are needed. The horse industry project has been initiated with government policies over the past five years. I know that it first started between 2011 and 2012, and if 500 horse racing stadiums were created in the first five years and the training of horse racing professionals was part of the first project, the five-year plan for horse racing development seems to be currently drifting. Therefore, I think the drifting project should be transformed into a virtuous cycle structure that can encompass everything, including the trading market.

Daemyung Group also feels sorry for the fact that horse-riding students think of it as a means of going to college. However, Daemyung is trying not only to expand the base for horse-riding, but also not to lose the original intention of 'Mayon-a-horse'. It plans to continue to develop sports and cultural encounters without being shaken by any draft.Last year, it was held at the Lawn Riding Club, and this year, it was held at the Sonopelice Equestrian Club. It is true that the Sonopelice Equestrian Club was not able to provide the best environment for horses due to inconveniences such as the practice rink last year. This year, the team played at a dedicated stadium so that horses could play in their best condition.

In particular, "Mayon-a-horse" learned the advanced trends of Europe, the home of horseback riding, and tried to make a competition comparable to that, and as a result, it has established itself as the current "Mayon-a-horse." A special stadium was set up on natural grass and cultural contents that the public was interested in were incorporated into it. Compared to baseball, which has risen as a representative sport in Korea, the popularization of horseback riding may sound a little distant. However, the audience's response and gaze from the scene during the last two competitions were convinced that the popularization of horseback riding was not far away, and it was the driving force behind the hosting of "Mayon-a-horse 2017.

Based on my experience working at the horse racing course, I teach him about horse racing and am currently a horse rider. Jeju Horse is a native and natural monument No. 347. It is about the size of a pony, but it requires a more balance than when it is loved, and its personality is strong. The tension is twice as high as when riding a love red. It makes you practice more and make more effort. The fact that Jeju Horse is different from when riding a love red is because the body height is low, so the speed of experience is different. Hallama is faster than Jeju Horse. Because it is a hybrid of Jeju Horse and Thoroughbred, the Hallama has a higher body height and is smaller than the Thoroughbred, so it gives the audience a sense of tension like a love red race.

The court decided to pay 500,000 won per time to nine officials of the opposition committee if they interfere with the access and passage of the company's executives and customers who want to enter the land as well as the Yongsan Gijang Offshore Sales Center. In addition, they were required to pay the same amount when they interfered with their business by making others do so. In a ruling, the court pointed out, "Although they claim that the opening of the off-the-shelf sales center itself is illegal, it is only a claim that the opening of the off-the-shelf sales center will violate their environmental rights, housing rights, and learning rights, but they have not been able to provide any explanation for the claim of legal defects." He then ruled, "Protests are allowed in a peaceful way, but occupying buildings or sites is beyond freedom of expression."

I think the problem of Yongsan's over-the-counter sales office could be an opportunity to look back on the path that Korean horse racing has taken. In the end, as the company focused on sales, the failure to properly improve the adverse effects of over-the-counter sales offices on the community would have been the cause of this situation. As a resident of Yongsan, I hope to find a smooth solution as soon as possible," he said. A resident who opposes the previous opening said, "Who would want to live in an area where gambling has come in and gamblers are crowded?" He did not hesitate to treat horse racing fans like criminals.In the ruling, the Seoul Western District Court ruled that the court "cited" all matters of the injunction on the prohibition of business obstruction and other acts submitted by the Korean Racing Authority.
