He served in the Gyeongwon garrison as Jeoljesa in 1448, and was the Commander of Uiju-mok in 1452.[1]

In 1455, then King Danjong was overthrown by Sejo. Yu joined a conspiracy of high officials to restore Danjong.[1] However, the plot was discovered shortly before it would have been executed in 1456. Yu and the other conspirators were arrested; after he failed to repent under torture, he was executed.[1]

A memorial to Yu stands today inside Chungmokdan located in Soheul-eup, Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.[2]
