They performed more than 200 times in Japan prior to their Korean debut.[4] The group also started a crowdfunding support project which achieved over 250% of the target amount reflecting a global fandom even before their official debut.[5][6]

At the beginning of 2020, Vanner successfully finished its United States tour concert, VANNER RISING IN THE U.S., around five cities for 10 days.[10] After one year, Vanner released their second single album Life and its title track "Form" (폼) on December 1, 2020.[11] The comeback showcase was broadcast live simultaneously around the world through YouTube and V Live on December 5.[12]

In 2021, the group participated and performed at K-Stage 2021: Untact Concert, a series of online concerts streamed on YouTube and MuBeat platform, on January 31[13] and February 28.[14] On December 26, 2021, Vanner attended and performed at the 2021 K-Stage Awards and was awarded the "Global K-Pop Star Award".[15]

Vanner once again headlined and performed at the 2022 K-Stage Untact Concert: Guess Who held on January 23, 2022.[16] Their third single album Take Off and its title track "Rollin" was released on February 28, 2022.[17] On March 2, it was announced that Vanner will begin its U.S. tour, 2022 U.S. TOUR: BOOST UP PART 1, around 14 cities starting on March 16.[18] Also, it was announced on March 25, that the group will perform at a K-pop concert, Pocket Friends Tour in LA, on April 16 to 17.[19]

2023–present: Peak Time

On February 2023, it was announced that the group will be included among the 24 contestants in the JTBC idol survival show, Peak Time.[20] Vanner was introduced in the show as Team 11:00, as show's contestants were represented with an hour of the day.[21] On April 20, Vanner was declared as the show's winner with a cumulative total of 1.46 million votes globally and domestically.[22] Through the show, two new songs were given and released by the group, "Skyscraper[upper-alpha 1]" and "Prime Time".[23][24] As part of the top 6 and the final winning team, Vanner performed a concert, "Your Time", on May 5 to 7 in Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium.[25]
