He was also commonly known as Yŏkdong Sŏnsaeng (역동선생; 易東先生). His art names were Paekun and Tanam, his courtesy names were Ch'ŏnchang and T'akpo, and his posthumous name was Moonhee. [1] U T'ak helped spread Neo-Confucianism, which had come from the Yuan dynasty, in Korea. [2] [3] He was a disciple of the Neo-Confucian scholar, An Hyang. [4]

[5] U T'ak is considered as the ancestor of the Moonheegong branch (문희공파; 文僖公派) of the Danyang Woo clan.
