On March 20, 2020, it was announced that the group will join Mnet's reality television competition Road to Kingdom.[4] They were the second group eliminated in the seventh episode.

The group debuted with their first mini album Reason For Being: Benevolence on April 1, 2020, with the title track "Magnolia".[3]

On July 15, 2020, the group released their second mini album Running TOOgether, with the title track "Count 1, 2."[5]

On August 13, 2020, at the 2020 Soribada Awards, TOO won the "New Artist Award", their first rookie award since debut.[6]

On January 13, 2021, CJ ENM and n.CH Entertainment were involved in management disputes, where CJ ENM reportedly terminated their management contract with n.CH Entertainment.[7] One day later, n.CH Entertainment responded to the disputes by stating that their contract was not formally signed for months, and that no expenses were paid since August 2020.[8]
