Yi Ch'ae (born 1745)

Yi Ch'ae (李采, 1745 - date of death unknown) was a Joseon dynasty scholar-official. Born in 1745, his bon-gwan (clan origin) was Jeonju. Information regarding his life is scarce, but records indicate he passed the gwageo (civil service examination) in a later year than average for the period, suggesting he may have pursued scholarly endeavors before seeking official appointment. He served in various government positions, likely within the central administration, though specific titles and achievements require further research. Primary sources detailing his official career and personal life remain largely unexplored in modern academic studies. Further investigation into Joseon dynasty government records, family genealogies, and literary collections may yield more comprehensive information about Yi Ch'ae and his contributions.
