In 1904, around the time of the Donghak Peasant Revolution, he moved to Seoul in order to avoid the authorities. In 1905 he went to Japan for his education. Upon returning to Korea in 1913, he taught, in Jeongju, at Osan School. In 1919 he moved to Shanghai and served in the Korean Provisional Government and became president of ''The Independent'', a newspaper in Shanghai. Yi returned to Korea in 1921 and founded the Alliance for Self-Improvement, established on principles of enlightenment and self-help. From 1923 to 1934, Yi pursued a career in journalism working for several newspapers, including two that survive today, the ''Dong-a Ilbo'' and the ''Chosun Ilbo''. After the war, the Special Committee for the Investigation of Anti-nationalist Activities found Yi guilty of collaboration. In 1950 Yi was captured by the North Korean army and died in Manpo on October 25, most likely of tuberculosis.〔Korean Literature Translation Institute Database http://www.klti.or.kr/AuthorApp?mode=6010&aiNum=12337〕
