He was from the aristocratic family of the Papyeong Yun clan, and related to the Royal Jeonju Yi clan through his mother. He was the older brother of Queen Janggyeong.[1] He was also known as part of DaeYun (Great Yun) versus SoYun (small Yun) close relatives of the DaeYun (allied closely by marriage to Queen Munjeong).[2]
He was executed in the Eulsa Sahwa of 1545 during the conflict of the Daeyun and SoYun factions.[2] (See also Yangjae Station Graffiti Incident of 1547)
