Initially debuting with 12 members on November 6, 2005 with "TWINS (Knock Out)", they were simply a project group named Super Junior 05. With Kyuhyun's addition on May 23, 2006 for the release of "U", the "05" was dropped and SJ became an official group.
SORRY, SORRY was their first album to debut at #1 on Hanteo. Released on March 12, 2009, it had over 150,000 copies pre-ordered and it sold over 29,000 copies on the first day, defeating Seo Taiji's record of 25,000. Promotions for the album started March 13 with the performance of "SORRY, SORRY" and "Why I Like You" on Music Bank. From March to May, the song collected a total of 10 #1 mutizens with consecutive wins. On May 12, a new version of the album was released with "너라고 (It's You)" as single. The music video was released two days before its schedule because it was leaked onto the internet.
On December 21, 2009, Hangeng filed for contract termination with SM Entertainment. The following day, his lawyer stated the claimed reasons behind the action: provisions were in SM's favor, unlawful 13-year contract length, unfair sum of money to end the contract, not allowed to request to revise his contract, forced to do things that were not in his contract, forced to do things against his will, fined if he disobeyed the company, missed any events or even was late and there was uneven profit distribution. Along with this, it was disclosed that SM's refused to give him a day off in over two years. His manager then submitted a statement to the court citing SM's violation of Hangeng's rights. The statement contended that he was forced to wear a mask due to company's ill handling of the visa issue; company purposely discriminated against Hangeng and his family; company refused to cooperate or listen to any of his suggestions; company purposely turned down individual activities for him. On December 21, 2010, the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of Hangeng. The court stated, "all three contracts – from the January 2003 contract, the altered contract from February 2007, and the affiliated contract from December 2007 – do not exist".
They have five sub-units with different concentrations:
Super Junior K.R.Y. consists of the main vocalists Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung.
Super Junior T consists of Heechul, Kangin, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Leeteuk and Sungmin; focuses on singing trot.
Super Junior M is made up of Hangeng, Siwon, Donghae, Henry, Zhoumi, Kyuhyun and Ryeowook; focuses on singing in Mandarin.
Super Junior H consists of every member of T except for Heechul, who is replaced by Yesung.
Super Junior D&E consists of Donghae and Eunhyuk.
잠들고 싶어
SUPER JUNIOR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
익숙했던 그리운 그 손길로 어루만져요
날 보는 안쓰런 눈길
듣고싶던 그 목소리
다정하게 이젠 울지 말라네요
널 내 품에 안으면 사라져버리고
난 그제야 잠에서 깨어요
아침은 늘 이렇게 my love
영원히 이대로 잠들길 바래도
여전히 그녀로 깨어나도
다시는 꿈꾸지 않기를 바래도
오늘도 그녀로 나는 잠이들 수가 있어
그녀가 웃고 있네요 너무나 오랜만이죠
그런 모습 그렇게 보고싶던 나의 그녀죠
그녀가 걷고 있어요 어떤 사람과
다정히 내 가슴은 무겁게 내리눌려요
또 난 꿈을 꾼거죠 식은 땀 흐르고
아파서 기억조차도 싫은 꿈
난 온종일 무엇도 못 하고
시간을 보내겠죠 my love
영원히 이대로 잠들길 바래도
여전히 그녀로 깨어나도
다시는 꿈꾸지 않기를 바래도
오늘도 그녀로 나는 잠이 들텐데
이제 흐려질만도 한데
그녀는 점점 짙어가요
어제 꿈에서처럼 오늘 내게 와요
이제는 혼자 잠들지 않게
영원히 이대로 잠들길 바래도
여전히 그녀로 깨어나도
다시는 꿈꾸지 않기를 바래도
오늘도 그녀로 나는 잠이 들텐데
오늘 그댈 다시 볼 수만 있다면
그럴 수 있다면, 돌아오면
한 번만 네 곁에 잠들 수 있다면
그럴 수 있다면 그대로 깨지 않고싶어
워워워 우우우 아아, 잠이들 수 있다면
The lyrics of SUPER JUNIOR's song "잠들고 싶어" (I Want to Fall Asleep) depict someone longing to be with their loved one. The singer expresses remorse and apologizes for something that has caused their loved one to leave. They reminisce about the familiar and beloved touch of their partner's hand and yearn to hear their voice once again. They plead for their loved one to stop crying and assure them tenderly. The singer reveals that without their loved one, they disappear and only wake up from slumber when they are embraced in their arms. Every morning, they hope to wake up with their loved one by their side.
Despite longing for such a forever-lasting slumber and awakening with their loved one, they also express a desire to never dream again. They find solace in the fact that even today, they can fall asleep with thoughts of their partner. They delight in the rare sight of their loved one smiling after a long absence and admit to feeling heavy-hearted when they see them with someone else. They confess that they keep dreaming of their loved one, waking up in cold sweat and experiencing painful memories. Despite being unable to do anything for the rest of the day, they spend their time cherishing the moments with their love.
As the days pass, the loved one becomes more vivid in their memories, and the singer hopes their loved one will come to them, just like in their dreams. They plead for their partner to never fall asleep alone. They express their longing to fall asleep by their loved one's side, hoping for an eternal slumber and awakening together. The lyrics end with the longing for the chance to see their loved one again, to be able to return to them, and fall asleep by their side just once more, without waking up.

그녀가 돌아오네요 미안하다고 하네요
She is coming back, apologizing
익숙했던 그리운 그 손길로 어루만져요
Embracing with the familiar and beloved touch
날 보는 안쓰런 눈길
The cold gaze that looks at me
듣고싶던 그 목소리
The voice that I wanted to hear
다정하게 이젠 울지 말라네요
Kindly telling me not to cry anymore
널 내 품에 안으면 사라져버리고
If I don't hold you in my arms, you will disappear
눈물이 흘러 베게를 적시면
When tears flow and dampen the pillow
난 그제야 잠에서 깨어요
I finally wake up from sleep
아침은 늘 이렇게 my love
Morning always comes like this, my love
영원히 이대로 잠들길 바래도
Even if I hope to sleep like this forever
여전히 그녀로 깨어나도
Even if I still wake up with her
다시는 꿈꾸지 않기를 바래도
Even if I hope to never dream again
오늘도 그녀로 나는 잠이들 수가 있어
Today, I can fall asleep with her again
그녀가 웃고 있네요 너무나 오랜만이죠
She is smiling, it's been so long
그런 모습 그렇게 보고싶던 나의 그녀죠
That's the appearance of my beloved that I wanted to see
그녀가 걷고 있어요 어떤 사람과
She is walking with someone
다정히 내 가슴은 무겁게 내리눌려요
Affectionately, my heart feels heavy and weighed down
또 난 꿈을 꾼거죠 식은 땀 흐르고
Once again, I had a dream, sweat running cold
아파서 기억조차도 싫은 꿈
A painful dream that I don't even want to remember
난 온종일 무엇도 못 하고
I can't do anything all day
시간을 보내겠죠 my love
I will spend my time, my love
이제 흐려질만도 한데
Even though it's becoming blurred now
그녀는 점점 짙어가요
She is gradually becoming stronger
어제 꿈에서처럼 오늘 내게 와요
Come to me today like in the dream yesterday
이제는 혼자 잠들지 않게
Now, don't fall asleep alone
오늘 그댈 다시 볼 수만 있다면
If only I can see you again today
그럴 수 있다면, 돌아오면
If it's possible, if you come back
한 번만 네 곁에 잠들 수 있다면
If only I can sleep by your side once
그럴 수 있다면 그대로 깨지 않고싶어
If it's possible, I don't want to wake up from that
워워워 우우우 아아, 잠이들 수 있다면
Oh oh oh, if I can fall asleep

i remember listening to this for the first time in 6th grade. i'm a college freshman now, it surely brings back a lot of memores :((
kkaebsong
this SJ's perfect vocal line, it's rare to find them sing together like this song, i'm crying 😭😭😭
C.
This is like the best SJ Ballad for me. I hope I get to see this performance once again. All 5 of them in one stage. Sadly, that is still far from reality. I really do hope Sungmin can still go back as a Super Junior member and get to perform with them, just like the old times. Kangin too. :’( 2019, anyone?
Anna Ramos
i still hope that even if its 2020 alreadyy :(
Yo Yo
