He majored in public administration at Yonsei University, obtained his master’s degree from the graduate school of Hanyang University, and completed the 35th Judicial Research and Training Institute program. After serving at the National Tax Tribunal of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and the Tax Tribunal under the Prime Minister's Office, he was in charge of major practical and policy work at the Financial Services Commission and its affiliated organizations for approximately 14 years since 2012.

He also gained experience in teams dealing with insurance and financial dispute resolution. His experience in leading major international dispute responses and investigations, including the Lone Star ISDS case, is expected to prove valuable in helping domestic and overseas financial institutions and companies respond to complex regulatory risks.
