Jeong made her official debut, as a 16-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she qualified for the women's 200 m breaststroke. She cleared a FINA B-cut of 2:27.78 from the Good Luck Beijing China Open.[3][4] On the evening preliminaries, Jeong rounded out the semifinal field by taking the final spot in a lifetime best of 2:27.28, just half a second (0.50) faster than her entry time.[5][6] The next morning's session, Jeong failed to qualify for the final, as she placed fourteenth overall in the semifinal run at 2:28.28.[7]

At the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, Jeong picked up the women's 200 m breaststroke title in 2:25.02, beating two Chinese swimmers for the silver and bronze medals.[10][11] Jeong's best effort at the Asian Games moved her up to fifteenth in the world rankings.[12]

Four years after competing in her first Olympics, Jeong qualified for her second South Korean team, as a 20-year-old, at the

Yuliya Efimova in the morning's preliminary heats to secure a spot for the semifinals.[14][15] On the evening session, Jeong failed to qualify for the final, as she finished her semifinal run with a slowest time of 2:28.74.[16]
