In March 2011, Jung was revealed to be the fourth member of Apink via an online video of her covering Jennifer Hudson's "Love You I Do". Prior to her debut, Jung worked with the rest of the group to film Apink News. Jung made her Apink debut as a main vocalist on Mnet's M Countdown on April 21, 2011, with two songs, "Mollayo" and "Wishlist," from Apink's debut extended play Seven Springs.
Jung's solo work has included collaborations with a variety of artists for OSTs and promotional songs.

Jung recorded two promotional singles, "All For You" and "Our Love Like This," with Reply 1997 co-star Seo In-guk for the drama's soundtrack in August 2012. On the Gaon Single Chart, "All For You" became one of the year's best-selling singles.
Jung collaborated with labelmate Huh Gak on duets titled "Short Hair" and "Break Up To Make Up" in 2013 and 2014, respectively, which were well received by listeners and ranked atop major Korean online music charts. Her first solo single, "It's You," was released for the soundtrack of Three Days.
Jung made his solo debut on April 18, 2016, with the EP Dream, which included six songs. Jung wrote the title song "Hopefully Sky," which recounts her memories of her father. "Hopefully Sky" reached the top of eight local music charts, and the album sold 30,000 copies upon its initial release.
