Life
He came from a family that had served as a station official for generations since the 17th century. Hyun Eun-do passed the station selection and Jeunggwang-si in 1880, and worked as a manager in the Ministry of Social Affairs, Tongli Negotiation and Trade, and internal affairs.

In 1905, he became an internal reference officer, and began to work for various social organizations that were popular around this time. In 1906, he served as the general secretary of the Korean Club, a member of the Korean Jagang Association, and the Korean Jagang Association, a patriotic enlightenment group affiliated with the enlightenment group, submitted a proposal to the government to ban early marriage and contributed serial articles to the monthly newspaper.

In 1907, he was appointed as the third-largest governor of the local bureau, and in 1908, he was a member of the Kihoheung Society, Chanmu-won, the finance director, the Korean Association's councilor, and the local director. Jang Ji-yeon and Na Soo-yeon, the central figures of the Korean Jagang Association and the Korean Association, insisted on the anti-Japanese thought until Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905, but gradually turned to pro-Japanese as Japan invaded the sovereignty of the Korean Empire, and Hyun Eun-do was classified as a Baeilist until early 1909. As part of the Patriotic Enlightenment Movement, he paid attention to school education, established his own Janghoon School, and donated money to establish local schools.

Hyun Eun was an expert with deep knowledge of Korean history, geography, and language. From the time of the Tonggambu, he began to work at the Korean Studies Institute established in the department and cooperate with the Japanese Empire, and when Hirobumi Ito was shot dead in October 1909, he served as the promoter and preparatory member of the memorial service.

In 1918, he served as a judge of the Korean Dictionary. The Korean dictionary was originally intended to be compiled for both Japanese and Koreans, but it was eventually published as a Korea-Japan history book to help Japanese rule the Joseon Dynasty, including document censorship, based on the judgment that there was no need for a dictionary for Koreans.

After working on the compilation of the Korean dictionary for about 10 years, he was selected as a councilor when the central garden control system was reorganized in 1921 and served for six years until 1927. In 1924, it was ranked seventh by the Japanese government.
