In 2014 Jeon took part in the Asian Games and won bronze in mixed with Kim Min-seok .
On the World Tour 2015 she was able to qualify for the first time in singles and doubles with Yang Ha-eun for the Grand Finals and reached the semifinals there. In 2016 Jeon Ji-hee won the South Korean championship, achieved a new personal record with 11th place in the world ranking and was thus also the best-placed South Korean. This also qualified her for the Olympic Games . Here she came with the team in the quarter-finals. In the individual competition, she entered in the third round and reached the second round by defeating the Swede Matilda Ekholm , where she was eliminated by Yu Mengyu from Singapore. At the Universiade 2017 she won three gold medals in singles, mixed and with the team. In the Grand Finals, for which she had qualified with Yang Ha-eun, she did not take part this year.
Jeon had her first World Championship participation at the 2018 Team World Championship . After the unification of the North and South Korean teams in the quarter-finals and a semi-final defeat against Japan, the team won bronze. Further bronze medals for Jeon followed in 2018 at the Asian Games in the individual and team competition as well as in the double competition of the Grand Finals . In 2019 she took part in the Asian Cup and the World Cup for the first time , where she was eliminated in the round of 16 against Cheng I-ching .
