Jeon made her acting debut in the musical Mr. Mouse in 2006[6] and has had a long career since then acting in plays and musicals.
Jeon made her television debut in the 2018 series Mother in which she played a minor role. The following year, she made her big screen debut in the fantasy film Metamorphosis.[7]
Jeon landed her first lead role in a television series with the medical drama Hospital Playlist.[8] When she first auditioned, she thought it was to play one of the patients but director Shin Won-ho told her he was considering her for the lead role.[9] During an interview, director Shin said that "Although we make the character, [we] felt she was destined to play Song-hwa."[10] Her performance earned her a nomination for Best New Actress in the television category at the 56th Baeksang Arts Awards.[11] For the drama's soundtrack, she sang a cover of Shin Hyo-beom's song "I Knew I Love" (사랑하게 될 줄 알았어) which was originally released in 2006. It peaked at number 1 on the Gaon Digital Chart.[12]
In 2022, Jeon appeared alongside Son Ye-jin and Kim Ji-hyun in JTBC's TV series Thirty, Nine, a drama that revolves around three friends.[13]
In 2013, Jeon Mi-do married her non-celebrity boyfriend whom she dated for 6 months.[14]
