Jeju Province is campaigning to relocate the Korea Racing Authority (KRA) headquarters to the island to better integrate the nation’s horse industry. Proponents highlight that Jeju produces 91.5% of domestic racehorses and hosts critical facilities, including the Jeju Racecourse and specialized academic institutions. The relocation is projected to generate approximately 65.1 billion won in production inducement and create around 505 jobs.
