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

2021: Reformation, Re:Born, and Re:Alize edit

On January 13, 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]

It was announced on March 28 that the group had changed its name from TOO to TO1.[9][1]

TO1 made their re-debut with their first EP Re:Born on May 20, with the title track "Son of Beast".[10][11] The group will be managed under CJ ENM's music label, WakeOne.[12]

On November 4, TO1 released their second EP Re:Alize, with the title track "No More X".[13]

On December 28, Wake One announced that Woonggi would be taking a break from the group due to an anxiety disorder, and thus TO1 would temporarily continue with the remaining members.

On July 28, TO1 released their third EP Why Not??, with the title track "Drummin'".[16]

On November 23, TO1 released their fourth EP UP2U, with the title track "Freeze Tag'".[17]
