Under Japanese rule he repeatedly sat on the South Chungcheong Provincial Council (1920, 1924, 1927, 1930) and served as a Government-General Central Council councilor from 1930 to 1933, while also holding leadership posts at several companies. He received the Showa Commemorative Medal in 1928. He appears on the 708-person collaborator roster, in the Dictionary of Pro-Japanese Biography, and on the government's official list of 705 pro-Japanese figures.
