Iseul was born in Ikchaek in Central Joyonghea to farmers. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in 1911 after graduating from the [[Dongnae Imperial Army Academy]]. He first served in the [[Whiteford Islands Uprising]] in 1912, and his experiences with the rebels inspired him to pursue intelligence gathering alongside combat. He then served with distinction during the [[Jeongsa War]] alongside his friends [[Hwangbo Man-shik]] and [[Mun Baek-hyeon]]. During the [[Second Auro-Quenminese War]], he served as a military advisor to the Aurucolian Army in [[Aurucolian Formosa|Taoyuan]]. With the [[Great Eastern Rivalry]] escalating, Iseul was assigned with gathering intelligence through East and South Asianna, taking him as far as Lorica, [[Sarkoros]], and [[Tibetia]]. In 1934, he was discharged for alleged bad conduct when he tried to present evidence of a looming Quenminese invasion of Jurchenia and Northwest Joyonghea, made probable with his alcoholism.

After much persuasion with promises of an honorable discharge, Iseul was reinstated in the Army.

He became an instructor during the latter, and an author, and returned to farming until his death in 5 October 1988. | Iseul was born in Ikchaek in Central Joyonghea to farmers.
