Career

2013–2017: Pre-debut

Jeong's first public appearance was in 2013, as a contestant in the third season of K-pop Star.[1] He passed the first round of auditions with a performance of his original song titled "Mom, Wait a Minute" (Korean: 엄마 잠깐만). One of the judges in the show, founder and former JYP Entertainment CEO Park Jin-young, praised the musical form of the song and likened him to Akdong Musician, who were the winners of the second season of K-pop Star.[3] Starting from the third round, he competed as part of the duo Something (Korean: 썸띵) with fellow contestant Kim Ah-hyeon.[4] The duo reached the finals but was eliminated during the first round of live performances.[5] In July 2014, three months after the show concluded, Jeong signed a contract with Starship Entertainment.[6]

In 2017, he represented Starship Entertainment in Produce 101 Season 2 alongside fellow trainee Lee Gwang-hyun.[7] He became part of the Top 20 but was eliminated during the finale, after ranking 12th overall with 769,859 votes.[8] After the show, on August 1, it was reported that he had started preparing for his solo debut.[9]

2017–2019: Debut and commercial solo success

Jeong debuted as a solo artist on August 31, with his first EP titled Ever,[upper-alpha 1] which peaked at number two on the Gaon Album Chart after selling 23,438 copies within its first week.[10] The EP contain six songs, including his original compositions "Miracle" and "Never Mind", as well as the title track "Just U", featuring rapper Sik-K.[11][12] "Just U" peaked at number eight and had more than 59,790 digital downloads within the first week of sales.[13][14]

His second EP, After was released in January 2018.[15] The title track of the album was "Baby It's U" and the album contained the self-produced track "Close Over".[16] Jeong also held his first concert Ever: After in 2018.[17]

In 2019, Jeong became a radio DJ for EBS Radio's "Listen".[18]

2020–present: 24

On June 23, it was confirmed that Jeong would make his summer comeback with his first studio album 24 Part. 1 on July 14.[19] Jeong participated in the writing and production of the album, with the album showing musical growth while still retaining Jeong's musical style.[20]
