(b 1533; d after 1593). Korean painter. The son of a scholar–official, he passed the chinsa (literary licentiate) examination in 1576 and took up a civil service career. He was famous for painting grapes and is frequently equated with the bamboo painter Yi Chong (i) and the plum-blossom painter O Mong-nyong. In Korea, unlike in China, there is a long-standing tradition of painting grapes that reaches back possibly as far as the Koryo period (968–1392). The earliest surviving examples, however, date from the 16th century.
