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.

SUPER JUNIOR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
장미보다 아름다운 붉은 그 입술
뻔한 말 늘어놓고 있네
더 좋은 말이 필요해
아무리 머릴 굴려봐도
눈 앞은 하얘지는데
첫 눈에 반한단 그 말 왠지 유치해
한 순간 뒤집어진 세상
왜 이제 나타난 거야
Why don't you luh-luh-luh-luh-love me
Why don't you luh-luh-luh-luh-love me
Why don't you luh-luh-luh-luh-love me (hey hey hey hey one, two, three four)
Wherever you go I'm not far away
Whatever you do I'm here to stay
니 옆에는 말이야 내가 잘 어울려
어때 me and you
Whatever you want just gotta say
Whatever you need I gotcha babe
우리 사이 뭔가 달라지고 있어
어때 me and you (어때 me and you)
손 하나 까딱하지 않고
넌 나를 무릎 꿇게 해
자존심 따윈 고이 접어
저 멀리 날려버렸지
Ah 도도한 게 넌 매력이야
너에게만은 못 당해 나
메시지를 보내 종일 손 놓지를 못하겠어
아무래도 나 미쳤나 봐 all day
뭘 해도 너만 생각나 always (yeah)
Why don't you luh-luh-luh-luh-love me
Why don't you luh-luh-luh-luh-love babe
Why don't you luh-luh-luh-luh-love me (hey hey hey)
Why don't cha (hey one, two, three four)
Wherever you go I'm not far away
Whatever you do I'm here to stay
니 옆에는 말이야 내가 잘 어울려
어때 me and you
Whatever you want just gotta say (just gotta say yeah)
Whatever you need, I gotcha babe
우리 사이 뭔가 달라지고 있어
어때 me and you
무슨 말을 더할까 가볍게 하는 고백 아냐
Who knows me 좀 진지하게 들어줄래
이젠 니가 나를 알아보길
내가 네게 그랬던 그 날처럼
Why don't you luh-luh-luh-luh-love me
Why don't you luh-luh-luh-luh-love me
Why don't you luh-luh-luh-luh-love me baby (hey hey hey hey one, two, three four)
Wherever you go I'm not far away
Whatever you do I'm here to stay
니 옆에는 말이야 (니 옆에) 내가 잘 어울려 (내가 잘 어울려)
어때 me and you
Whatever you want just gotta say
Whatever you need I gotcha babe
우리 사이 뭔가 달라지고 있어
어때 me and you (어때 me and you)
The lyrics to Super Junior's song Me & U speak of initial attraction and the desire for love. The first line describes the person's eyes as "shining brighter than starlight," followed by "lips as beautiful as a rose." Despite these appealing physical attributes, the person struggles to come up with the right words to express their feelings. The chorus echoes their frustration by repeatedly asking, "Why don't you love me?" as if they cannot understand why the object of their affection does not feel the same way.
The second verse speaks of being willing to do anything for the person they love, from being by their side at all times to fulfilling their every need. They believe that something special is happening between them and express the desire for this to continue to grow. The bridge of the song calls for a deeper level of understanding, asking the other person to listen seriously and get to know them beyond their initial attraction.
Overall, Me & U speaks to the universal theme of desire for love and the struggle to express such feelings. The lyrics capture the feelings of romantic attraction and the frustration that can arise from unrequited love.
