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. She eventually 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]

A few months after her debut with Iz*One, An participated in the singing competition, King of Mask Singer. She was the youngest competitor in the show's history (15 years and 99 days old).[7][8] As of December 11, 2020, she was still the youngest female contestant.

It was announced that An will become a cast member for 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]

Since 2021, An has been the MC of Inkigayo along with NCT's Sungchan and Treasure's Jihoon.[14]

After Iz*One disbanded in April 2021, she and groupmate Wonyoung returned to be Starship trainees.

On November 1, 2021, Starship Entertainment announced that An and Wonyoung will debut their new girl group Ive on December 1, 2021. It is their first group since they debuted Cravity in April 2020 and their first girl group since WJSN's debut in February 2016. She, along with Wonyoung, became the first two members revealed to the group.[2] Later the group debuted with their first single album, Eleven.
