Life
Little is known about his personal life except that he was born in 1904. In 1929, he joined the Goryeo Communist Youth Association in Wangqing County, Jilin Province, China, and worked as a communist activist.

However, he surrendered to the Japanese Empire in 1934 and became an agent of the Kando Cooperative Inquiry Headquarters, a special organization of the Japanese military police. Han Young-hwi also served as the director of Wangqing's current branch office of the labor introduction office, which was operated by the Gando Cooperation Association for propaganda work and management of transitioners. Specific activity records include touring propaganda lectures and distributing propaganda leaflets to induce the surrender of anti-Japanese forces.

In 1936, he became a member of the Donhwa Special Task Force at the headquarters of the Gando Cooperation Association. Han Young-hwi's positions include the second division leader and the first division member of the second Special Task Force. He was also involved in the surrender of anti-Japanese troops, and on July 7, 1936, under the command of a Japanese officer, he attacked the anti-Japanese coalition with the Manchurian army and killed 25 soldiers.

After the Gando Cooperation Association was dissolved in 1937, he returned to Joseon. After being employed as a businessman of Chosun Life Insurance Co., Ltd., his whereabouts are unknown.

Even after liberation, Han Young-hwi's activities were not revealed for a long time, but in 2007, the Korean Pro-Japanese Anti-national Activities Investigation Committee discovered related records and included them in the list of 195 pro-Japanese anti-national acts. It is also included in the list of pro-Japanese biographical dictionaries published in 2008.
