In 2013, she released an EP of indie folk songs she composed herself, the self-titled Jung Eun-chae.
Jung Eun-chae debuted as a commercial model. A string of memorable commercials has earned her a CF Model of the Year title at the 2011 6th Asia Model Festival Awards.

Since then, Jung has alternated between blockbuster films such as The Fatal Encounter, The King, and The Great Battle and art films such as Nobody's Daughter Haewon, Hill of Freedom, and The Table.

Jung's debut in television dramas was through the 2011 KBS1 telenovela My Bittersweet Life. Three years later, she acted in a psychological thriller series Dr. Frost. She made a big comeback to TV drama in 2018 with two series released in the same year, SBS hit legal crime Return and OCN's The Guest, a drama that combines the elements of exorcism, shamanism, and procedural.
She was later cast as one of the main characters in the 2020 SBS TV series The King: Eternal Monarch. She gained recognition and was declared the best character according to a poll released by Cleo Singapore.
In August 2022, Jung renewed her contract with KeyEast.
