As public opinion on independence increased due to the March 1st Movement, the local system was changed as a kind of conciliatory measure, and when the provincial council system was established in 1920, it was elected as a member of the Hwanghae-do council. In 1924, he was appointed to the Central Council and served for six years until 1930. During this period, he was re-elected as a member of the provincial council and served as the head of the Gangnyeong Financial Association. In 1928, when he was serving as a member of the Central Committee and a member of the Hwanghae-do Council, he received the Showa Daerye Memorial Medal from the Japanese government.

It was selected on both the list of 708 pro-Japanese groups announced in 2002 and the list of prospective pro-Japanese dictionaries released in 2008, and also on the list of 195 pro-Japanese activities announced by the Korean Committee on Pro-Japanese Activities in 2007.
