Life
In 1513, he passed the Byeolsi munkwa (別試文科) examination in first place and, after serving as Jeonjeok (典籍), held the posts of Jeongeon (正言), Igo Jeongnang (吏曹正郞), and Eungyo (應敎). In 1518, he accompanied Nam Gon to the Ming dynasty as Seojanggwan (書狀官) of the Jucheongsa (奏請使) mission, but he came into conflict with Nam Gon over matters of opinion.
In 1519, he became Jeonhan (典翰), and afterward served as Jikjehak (直提學), Dong Buseungji (同副承旨), and Jwa Seungji (左承旨). However, Nam Gon later had him transferred to the post of Naval commander in Chungcheong Province. In 1520, when the Gimyo Purge broke out, he was caught up in it and was exiled to Geoje Island. In 1521, during the Sinsa Massacre, he was imprisoned in the Uigeumbu through Nam Gon's scheming. He was about to be released by Jungjong, but he was assassinated by assassins sent by Nam Gon.
