In September, 663 in the Battle of Baekgang he led the Baekje Revival Army and was defeated by the forces of the Silla–Tang alliance and forced into exile in Goguryeo with his brother, Buyeo Pung. In April, 664 he was captured and sent to Ungjin Commandery and the Baekje Revival Movement was destroyed.[1] His later life and activities are unknown but he was probably exiled to China along with his father and other siblings.

One of his brothers, Zenkō (善光 or 禅広), settled in Japan and was given the family name Kudara no Konikishi (百濟王; king of Baekje) by the emperor of Japan.
