In 2016, Jeong auditioned for multiple roles in Theater Ganda's John Cariani's omnibus play, Almost, Maine. Jeong was cast after breaking through the competition rate of 200 to 1 and performed as part of second team from April 2012.[7][8][9][10]

His most notable role was in Lim Sang-choon's mini-series Fight for My Way, where he played a hard-working boxer who faced off against the main character Park Seo-joon's character.[11]

In November 2016, Jeong joined Park Dong-wook's play Voice of Millenium.[12] The play was produced by Space to Create, a theater company founded by Ahn Hyuk-won and Jeon Seok-ho.
