Jeong Hyeong-don (born February 7, 1978) is a South Korean comedian and entertainer under FNC Entertainment.
After graduating Busan Electronic Technical (senior) High School in 1996, he worked for Samsung Electronics in Suwon as an engineer. Before entering the Korean entertainment industry, he was a member of a comedy team with his colleagues at Samsung.
He made his television debut on KBS Gag Concert in 2002 with a segment called "Doremi Trio" (도레미 트리오). In this segment, he sang excerpts of K-pop songs with comedic punches at the end. He then joined various segments of MBC's Sunday Sunday Night and Exclamation! and KBS2's Imagination Plus and a host and performer. In 2005, he became a regular host on MBC's Infinite Challenge.
In 2008, he joined the cast of the marriage simulation show We Got Married. He was initially paired with television personality Saori until her departure from the show, after which he assumed a hosting role alongside Crown J and Seo In Young. After their departure in January 2009, Jung was grouped into a husband-and-wife pair with Taeyeon of Girls' Generation per her request. The match caused a major uproar among netizens due to the couple's 11-year age difference and the large fanbase surrounding Taeyeon and Girls' Generation. The relationship ended after a format change in the show and Hyungdon's pre-existing romantic relationship at the time of filming.
He and rapper Defconn became co-hosts for the MBC Every1 program Weekly Idol in July 2011. In June 2015, Jung was officially signed to FNC Entertainment.
