His mother, Lady Yi Myeong-bok of the Jeonju Yi clan, was a fifth-generation descendant of Prince Sudo Jeong Yi Deok-saeng (守道正李德生) of Jeongjong; her grandfather was Gunsan Busu Geum-son (群山副守 金孫), her great-grandfather was Simgok-su Sukin, and her great-great-grandfather was Pungsan Bujeong Yi-oe. Her maternal mother was of the Jeju Go clan, the daughter of Byeongmajeoldosa Go Ja-gyeom. Her name became known only after 1970, when the royal genealogies Seonwollok and Yubulok were translated into Korean, recording the names of the royal family's six generations of inner and outer descendants.
Yi Bok-nam (李福男), who was active in the Battle of Ungchi at Jeonju and the Battle of Namwon Castle and died at Namwon Castle, was his second elder brother. His eldest brother, Yi Gwi-nam, died young at the age of 43, and the year of his death is unknown. His third elder brother was Yi Deok-nam (李德男). His family was a military family: his great-great-grandfather Yi Ji-bang, his great-grandfather Yi Gwangsik, his grandfather Yi Jeon, and his paternal cousin Yi Yong all served as commanders on the frontiers.
Activities
Details of his early years and first activities are unknown. While still a bo-in, he passed the Alseong military examination (謁聖武科) in 1583 (8th year of Seonjo) with the rank of byeonggwa (丙科). In 1589 he served as a Seonjeongwan1, and in 1592 (25th year of Seonjo) he became Woohu of Namdo. In the same year the Imjin War broke out, and he went to the front as deputy to Commissioner Sin Rip. On the 28th day of the 4th lunar month of that year, together with Commissioner Sin Rip, Deputy Commissioner Kim Yeo-mul and others, he fought against the invading Japanese advancing at Tangeumdae in Chungju, but was defeated by superior numbers and died. At that time his paternal uncles Yi Gyeong-heon (李敬憲) and Yi Seung-heon (李承憲) also took part in the Battle of Tangeumdae as military officers under General Sin Rip and died.
At that time, his third elder brother Yi Deok-nam, who was serving as magistrate of Gimhwa County, also died early in the Imjin War.
Because he died without children, he adopted his second elder brother Yi Bok-nam's second son Yi Gyeong-su (李慶受) as his heir. Yi Gyeong-su served as Junchubu Sa. In 1604 (36th year of Seonjo) he was posthumously added to the SeonmuWonjong Gongsin, 3rd rank.
After death
His deeds and genealogy were lost for a long time, and because he had no children, he adopted Yi Gyeong-su, the second son of his elder brother Yi Bok-nam. His family genealogy recorded him only briefly until the early 2000s. In 2010, the Manryeok 11 Gyemi 4 Wol Cho 4 Il Munmu Gwa Bangmok (萬曆十一年癸未四月初四日文武科榜目), held by the Harvard University Yenching Library and a copy held by the University of California, Berkeley Library, was confirmed, and his passing record and personal details became known. Furthermore, it was confirmed through the Korean translation of the royal genealogies Seonwollok and Yubulok after the 1970s that he was the son-in-law of Hyejeong Ongju, the illegitimate daughter of Jungjong, as the great-granddaughter's husband.
His grave is located at Pojeon (now Pojeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul) in Eonju-myeon, Gwangju-gun, Gyeonggi Province. Near the western hill of Heolleung (獻陵), in the Naedong village to the south, is the grave of his adopted son Yi Gyeong-su.

Miscellaneous
Yi Gyeong-su and his adoptive grandson Yi Deuk-u have unknown records, and Yi Yun-gu passed the military examination and rose to become magistrate of Gasan County, but died young. Also, he does not appear in the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty, and only his name survives.

In the royal genealogies Seonwollok and Yubulok, and in the Hyejeong Ongju Jasonnok, only his name and official title are briefly recorded, and his detailed deeds are not transmitted. Given that Yi Gyeong-su is recorded as his adopted son in Seonwollok and Yubulok and that his descendants are recorded, it is certain that he was designated as an adopted son in his own time, although the exact time of adoption is unknown.
