Chung was a top submarine closer who was nicknamed "Queen Bee" during her playing days. After graduating from Gunsan Sango High School and Kyung Hee University, she joined the SK Wyverns in 2001 and began her professional career. After a stint in the bullpen, he began pitching in the closer's role in 2006 and was part of the SK dynasty alongside manager Kim Sung-geun. His induction of Cuban slugger Gurriel in the bottom of the ninth inning of the final game of the 2008 Beijing Olympics remains one of the most memorable moments of all time. He was a medalist at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. He also played for his country in the World Baseball Classic, appearing in Games 1 through 3.
In 2012, he became a free agent and joined the Lotte Giants, but injuries and poor performances prevented him from reaching his prime and he retired after the 2016 season. In his professional career, Jung played 662 games, compiling a record of 46-29, 121 wins, 106 losses, and 106 saves with a 2.21 ERA.
After retiring, Chung underwent coaching training with the Seibu Lions of Nippon Professional Baseball before being recruited by head coach Lee Jung-myung to coach pitchers at Dong-A University. He later served as a coach at the Tokyo Olympics and Hangzhou Asian Games. He formed a trusting relationship with Lee, who served as his defense coach at the Asian Games.
