From June 15 to August 31, 2018, An represented Starship Entertainment alongside Jang Won-young and Cho Ka-hyeon on reality girl group survival show Produce 48. An placed fifth and debuted with Iz*One. The group's debut extended play (EP) Color*Iz was released on October 29, 2018, with "La Vie en Rose" serving as its lead single.[4][5][6]

Several months after her debut with Iz*One, An participated in the televised singing competition King of Mask Singer. She was the youngest competitor in the show's history, aged 15 years and 99 days.[7][8]

It was announced that An would become a cast member in MBC’s My Little Television V2, alongside Kim Gu-ra.[9][10] However, she was removed from the cast starting from episode 34 due to the Mnet vote manipulation investigation.[11][12][13] From March 2021 to March 2022, An hosted the music program Inkigayo alongside NCT's Sungchan and Treasure's Jihoon.[14][15]

After Iz*One disbanded in April 2021, she and groupmate Wonyoung returned to Starship Entertainment as trainees. On November 1, 2021, Starship Entertainment announced that An and Wonyoung would debut their new girl group Ive on December 1, 2021. Ive was the label's first group since the debut of Cravity in April 2020, and their first girl group since WJSN's debut in February 2016. An and Wonyoung were the first two members of Ive to be revealed.[2] The group debuted with their first single album, Eleven.

In 2022, An served as a panelist on season two of the "military survival" reality show Steel Troops.[16] That year, An also led the tvN variety show Earth Arcade alongside Oh My Girl's Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Lee Eun-ji.[17]
