Yong Dae, the son of a farmer of the Yang Ban class, began his schooling in the traditional form with the book of the first thousand Chinese characters. After completing traditional schooling, he decided to attend the new Western style of high school in PyongYang. Later, he successfully gained admittance to the teacher's academy. Only the most brilliant Koreans were admitted to higher education as most positions were reserved for the Japanese who had conquered Korea.
After taking a teaching position, Yong Dae paid for his younger brother, Yong Chun, to attend high school and later, medical school. Over the years, Yong Dae and Soo Duk sponsored many family members and even non related promising students whose families could not afford paying school expenses.
Soo Duk whose family had spent extensive time in Shanghai, China, was sponsored by Young Dae who was smitten with her. He paid for her schooling including Teacher's academy. She was one of only three Koreans in her class.
After graduation from Teacher's Academy, Soo Duk began teaching in a girl's school. She also contributed to sponsoring her brother-in-law's medical school expenses.
Yong Dae and Soo Duk's children are:
2. Song Ja ( to present),
3. Ju Pil (8-Jul-1929 to present),
4. Ju Hwang (10-Dec-1932 to deceased),
