In the 18th year of King Kongmin he assumed the leadership as Dongreongbu and went under the command of Lee Sung Gye and defeated the Japanese raiders and helped Lee Sung Gye in 1392 and contributed in opening Joseon.

There is a story related to him as below.

When Lee Chun Woo was retiring(1416) Taejong said 'You have contributed a lot and I haven't rewarded you so I reward you with 80 good rice paddy and 80 servants.'. However Lee Chun Woo refused and said 'Please give me the two hawks that is sitting on top of the arm warmers'.

At that time Taejong liked hawking. However, Lee Chun Woo advised him roundaboutedly to concentrate on his political affairs. This made Taejong smile and he accepted the offer.
