He was also diplomat and ambassador, representing Joseon interests in a diplomatic mission to the Ashikaga shogunate in Japan.

1406 mission to Japan edit

King Taejong dispatched a diplomatic mission to Japan in 1406. This delegation to court of Ashikaga Yoshimochi was led by Yun Myeong. The purpose of this diplomatic embassy was to respond to a message sent to the Joseon court by the Japanese shogun.[1]

The Japanese hosts may have construed this mission as tending to confirm a Japanocentric world order.[2] Yun Myeong's actions were more narrowly focused in negotiating protocols for Joseon-Japan diplomatic relations.[1]
