Creating works that are both personal and sensational, Jeong plays with perspective and exploit empty space on the canvas to create complex visual language. Often without a pre-planned concept in mind, her works are a response to her immediate surroundings and happenings, which embody her own intimate emotions and experiences.

Jeong was being listed in the Forbes Korea 2030 Power Leader in 2018.
