Yun Ung-nyeol was a member of one of the prominent
yangban
families of Korea, the Haepyeong Yun clan (
해평 尹氏
;
海平 尹氏
). His family was considered wealthy,
[3]
which his father had paved the way to prominence by himself. From his early age, Yun and his younger brother were famous for their great physical abilities.
[4]
At the age of 17, Yun went to Seoul by himself and took the Gwageo Military Examination, and passed the exam, making him an official.
[4]
From 1881, Yun was in charge of the new army of Joseon Dynasty, also known as the
Py?lgigun
. As a member of the
Gaehwa Party
, Yun participated in the
Gapsin Coup
. After the short-lived new government was formed, Yun was appointed as Minister of Justice, and Vice mayor of Seoul.
