The group made its debut the same year with the EP Beast Is the B2ST which arrived at number 11 on the charts. This marked the beginning of a long series of projects in this format, many of which reached the top spot on the charts, such as Lights Go On Again (2010), and an impressive series of five consecutive EPs between 2012 and 2017: Midnight Sun (2012), Good Luck (2014), Time (2014), Ordinary (2015) and Can You Feel It?

Since 2011, Highlight's discography has been enriched with six studio albums, including So Beast (2011) and Number 1 albums Fiction and Fact (2011), Hard to Love, How to Love (2013) and Highlight (2016). The journey continued with Daydream, which peaked at number 4 in 2022 and certified gold. Their fourth mini album, After Sunset, was released in November 2022. In 2023, HIGHLIGHT marked their 14th debut anniversary with the release of their third digital single, "Give You My All", on October 16. In March 2024, their fifth mini album Switch On was released.
