While freelancing, she auditioned for the second season of OnStyle's Next Top Model in Korea, but she did not make it to the top 30 after being voted out of the top 30. In 2012, she signed with ESteem Models. She then went on to compete in Korea's Next Top Model's fourth season in 2013, where she finished as a runner-up after being disqualified in the third episode and returning in the fifth episode.

She made her international runway debut in September 2016 at New York Fashion Week after booking to walk as an exclusive for Alexander Wang. She appeared in Harper's Bazaar, Love, and W; and Gap's campaigns were short-lived, as she walked in shows for Marc Jacobs, Alberta Ferretti, Chanel, Max Mara, and Fendi.

Jung decided to start acting because of the short life span of model careers, which she felt as her modeling career was diminishing. While modeling in Asia, Jung often returned to South Korea during holidays to take acting lessons, and it took three months of acting lessons in total. She also improved her English to help her learn acting. Jung was signed to Saram Entertainment, a Korean talent agency. Kang Sae-byeok, a North Korean defector and pickpocket who needs money to help her younger brother and locate her mother in North Korea, made her acting debut in the 2021 Netflix K-drama Squid Game in which she played Kang Sae-byeok. While in New York for Fashion Week, she was given three scenes from the show's script and auditioned for the role via video. Hwang Dong-hyuk then asked her to audition in person in South Korea, where she was given the part right away.
She trained for the role of Sae-byeok by practising her character's Hamgyn dialect with real North Korean defectors, watching documentary films about North Korean defectors, and learning martial arts. When modeling overseas to create the character, she also reflected on her own feelings of loneliness, as well as a daily diary from her character's perspective. Sae-byeok became a fan favorite, and critics characterized Jung as the Squid Game's breakout star. Jung received the Screen Actor Guild Award for Outstanding Achievement by a Female Actor in a Drama Series at the 28th Screen Actor Guild Awards for her appearance on the program. With this nomination, she became Asia's second actress as well as Korean descent, earning her individual SAG Award nomination.

She was also nominated for the Screen Actor Guild Award for Outstanding Achievement by an Ensemble in a Drama Series alongside her costars. She began a career with Creative Artists Agency, an American talent firm, in November 2021.
