Jung's debut in television dramas was through the 2011 KBS1 telenovela My Bittersweet Life.[14] Three years later, she acted in a psychological thriller series Dr. Frost.[15] She made a big comeback to the TV drama in 2018 with two series released on the same year, SBS hit legal crime Return[16] and OCN's The Guest, a drama that combines the elements of exorcism, shamanism, and procedural.[17]
