Gi 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 he was given preferential treatment with or equal to that of the Goryeo ruler during his stay in Yuan. In 1356, Gi was invited to a palace banquet, but as soon as he entered it, King Gongmin, who saw him and Gwon Gyeom for treason and conspiracy, arrested and executed them by mace. Gi Yu-geol and Öljei Buka were also killed by the king's orders. This event is present-day known as "Byeongsin coup" in Korean history.
