He entered royal service as a member of the Dohwaseo, the official painters of the Joseon court. In 1447, he drew Mongyu dowondo [ko] (몽유도원도), a landscape painting for Prince Anpyeong. Considered the oldest landscape painting by a Korean artist, the painting is currently stored at Tenri University.
