Another short Hakim & Barchin, commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2010, followed.

In 2009, Jeong pursued a new interest in

documentary filmmaking, centering on urban, environmental, and architectural themes. Talking Architect (2012), about the last few years[9] of celebrated maverick Korean architect Chung Guyon (1943-2011) was her first feature-length documentary.[5][10] For independent documentaries of this type, a box office score of 10,000 admissions is usually considered to be a major success. However Talking Architect rode positive word-of-mouth to sell a total of 36,500 tickets since its March 8 release. Jeong next shot a second architecture-themed documentary, City: Hall (2013), an in-depth look at the creative, political and bureaucratic pressures that affected the controversial design and renovation of Seoul's new City Hall.[11][12][13]
