Yun Che-hong [cha Kyongdo; ho Haksan, Ch’anha]

(b P’ap’yong, Kyonggi Province, 1764; d after 1840). Korean painter and scholar. He began his official career brilliantly in 1792 by coming first in the saengwon (classics licentiate) examination. Unfortunately his advancement was interrupted twice, first when he was banished to Ch’angwon, South Kyongsang Province, in 1806 for political factionalism, the second time when he was released from his post of magistrate because of charges brought against him in 1830 by the amhaeng osa (‘secret inspectors’).
