Possessing the ability and skillset to play as either a center or a forward, he is credited with paving the way for the "center-forward" swingman to succeed in domestic basketball during an era where such players were often viewed as being strategically difficult to fit into the team's tactics.

They quickly drew attention when they famously defeated established senior teams such as Kia and Samsung which boasted the era's most notable stars including the "Hur-Dong-Taek Trio" and Kim Hyun-jun.

His playing career ended on a bitter note as Jeonju KCC Egis finished runners-up to Wonju TG Sambo Xers in the league and also lost to them in the play-off finals.

He earned the moniker from opposition players and fans for the feeling of dread they felt whenever he had the ball in his hands due to his shooting accuracy and ability to dunk, which he attributed to his background as a former high jumper.

[12] During his time at Jeonju KCC Egis, Jung was remembered for an incident during the 2002-03 season involving his then-teammate Chun Hee-chul.

[16] Yonsei's administration immediately suspended him pending a full investigation by the Korean Basketball Association (KBA).

After KBA voted to suspend his coaching license and ban him from basketball for five years, he admitted full responsibility for his actions and resigned from his post.
