Jung’s second TV contract was for MBC’s Sunday Sunday Night program Korea Ecosystem Rescue Centre: Hunters, which featured seven celebrity MCs, including Kim Hyun Joong going out to capture wild boars. The show premiered on December 6, 2009 but was forced to prematurely cease its run in mid-January 2010 due to protests by animal-rights groups.

In February 2010, Jung was paired up with Seohyun of Girls’ Generation as an imaginary wedded couple for the popular MBC variety show We Got Married.
