Launch of the Steering Committee for the '100 Years of Korean Horse Racing' Commemoration Project

[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Kim Hyewon] The 'Korea Horse Racing 100th Anniversary Project Promotion Committee,' which reflects on the 100-year history of Korean horse racing and prepares for future leaps forward, has announced its first start.

The Korea Racing Authority announced on the 26th that it held the inauguration ceremony of the Korea Horse Racing 100th Anniversary Project Promotion Committee on the 24th, providing an opportunity to share the direction of the 100th anniversary project and major business plans. The Promotion Committee will serve as the control tower for project implementation, actively communicating the determination to execute key projects both internally and externally, and striving to build public consensus.

A notable aspect of this committee's formation is the appointment of an employee representing the MZ generation as co-chairperson. This aims to promote major projects that raise awareness of the 100 years of horse racing by communicating and empathizing with young employees.

Jung Ki-hwan, Chairman of the Korea Racing Authority, said, “This year should be another starting point that looks back on the past 100 years of Korean horse racing while wishing for dreams and hopes toward the next 100 years,” adding, “We will actively gather opinions from customers and the public to open a new century together with the people.”

Earlier, in his inauguration speech in February, Chairman Jung emphasized the need to spread the true value of horse racing and the horse industry to the public and to make this year, marking 100 years of horse racing, the first year of restoring public trust.
