On the show, he performed a sketch called "Do-Re-Mi Trio," in which he and two other comedians sang excerpts of popular songs, adding comedic

In 2005, Jung joined the cast of a new variety show called

We Got Married
in 2008. He was initially paired with television personality
Saori
until her departure from the show. He was later paired with singer
Taeyeon
of
Girls' Generation
. The match caused an uproar from Girls' Generation fans, in part due to the 11-year age gap between the two entertainers.

became co-hosts of the new
idol
-focused reality show
