Horse racing, a race between racehorses that runs 1,200 meters in about one minute, is also called '0.01-second fight' due to its unique high speed and tight competition. Horse racing announcers, who vividly convey the passionate scene, are required to be able to accurately read the changing racing trends and convey their unique sense of excitement.
Announcer Lee Dong-jin has calmly prepared for his debut since joining the Korea Racing Authority in May, starting with the driving screening broadcast. Immediately after the first broadcast, he said "There are some things I'm satisfied with and some things I'm disappointed about, but I'm trying to take it step by step while looking at my seniors. Above all, it was an overwhelming experience because I could breathe with horse racing fans," he said.
