The band's first EP, See Your Eyes, was released in December 2014. In 2015, bassist Jang Kyung-joon and drummer Yoon Kyul joined the group. Their debut studio album, Monkey Hotel, followed in August 2016 and peaked at number forty-one in South Korea. Their second studio album, Legend, with its lead single "For Lovers Who Hesitate," which was their last to be recorded with Young-hyun, was released in March 2019 and created an unprecedented sensation in South Korea. The album peaked at number seven on the Circle Album Chart, while the title track peaked atop the Circle Digital Chart and received double platinum certification by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) after accumulating more than 200 million streams.[2] The band released a second EP, Jannabi's Small Pieces I, which was recorded by Choi and Kim alone, in November 2020. The EP peaked at number thirteen on the Circle Album Chart.[3] The duo continued to record together and released their third studio album, The Land of Fantasy, in July 2021.[4] The album peaked at number six in their native country. In 2022, the band's third EP after Yoon Kyul's departure and two members in military service, Jannabi's Small Pieces II: Grippin'TheGreen, was released with Choi's solitary songwriting. The EP peaked at number fifteen in South Korea.[5]

Over the course of their career, Jannabi has scored three studio albums that peaked in the top ten and eight singles on the Circle Chart. Jannabi is listed as one of South Korea's best-selling groups that debuted in 2014.[6][7]
