Gi Cheol received a government post from the Yuan dynasty and appointed as Daesado (대사도, 大司徒) in 1340. Since the Haengju Gi clan was regarded as one of the noble family in Goryeo, so at Yuan official events, Gi Cheol was given preferential treatment with or equal to that of the Goryeo king. In 1356, he was invited to a palace banquet, but as soon as he entered it, King Gongmin, whom seen him and Gwon Gyeom for treason and conspiracy arrested them two and executed them by mace. Gi Yu-geol and Öljei Buka were also killed under King Gongmin's command. This event is known as Byeongsin coup in Korean history.
