Club career

Jeon won all three divisions of the Korean National School League, namely elementary, middle and high school divisions. He was also named the top goalscorer at the middle school division, and the Most Valuable Player at the high school division. He tried to participate in a tryout for Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven prior to his graduation from Maetan High School, which had a youth football club of Suwon Samsung Bluewings, but withdrew his plan after being criticised by Suwon fans.
Jeon made his professional debut in an AFC Champions League qualifier against Thanh Hóa on 30 January 2018, and scored his first professional goal in a K League 1 match against Incheon United on 22 April. He helped Suwon win the 2019 Korean FA Cup before enlisting in military football club Sangju Sangmu to fulfill his military duty for one and a half years. He played in only two league matches for Sangmu due to a car accident. His long-term injury was followed by the stagnation of his development, and Suwon was relegated to the K League 2 after the 2023 season. On 9 July 2024, he transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors to mark a turning point in his career.
During the 2025 season, Jeon scored 15 goals in 24 appearances until June, and scored 4 goals in 20 appearances since July. He showed overwhelming performances in the first half of the season, which underlay Jeonbuk's Double, but was not able to receive any individual awards due to his slump in the second half.
On 20 January 2026, Jeon signed for EFL Championship club Oxford United.

International career

Jeon led South Korea to a second-place finish by scoring five goals in six matches at the 2018 AFC U-19 Championship. He also participated in the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where South Korea finished second. He performed a key role at the AFC U-19 Championship, whereas he usually played as a substitute at the U-20 World Cup.
In a FIFA World Cup qualifier against Iraq on 5 June 2025, which ended in a 2–0 win, Jeon made his senior international debut and provided an assist.
