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.
She's Gone
SUPER JUNIOR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
난 네게 무엇을 힘들게 한 걸까
더 이상 아무런 말도
더 하지 않는 너에게
이제는 물을 수도 없는
내가 되버린 걸
흔한 투정도 한 번 없이
그저 넌 착한 미소로 웃어주는
무심했던 미련함인 걸
미안해 my love
돌아서는 너를 보며
사랑이 걷혀가던 시간이
이제야 내게도 보이고 있지만
이별이란 순간처럼
오는 거라 생각했지
내게 이렇게 스며들고
있었다는 걸 몰랐었어
다시 되돌릴 수 있다면
아니 한 번만 다시 웃어준다면
혼자서 지친
니 맘을 안지 못한 건
어리석은 자존심인 걸
미안해 my love
차가워진 너를 보며
이별이 번져가는 순간을
이제는 어쩔 수 없음을 난 알지만
사랑이란 이름으로
서서히 물들 때처럼
내게 사랑이 떠나가고
있었다는 걸 몰랐었어
미안하다는 말 조차도
이렇게나 미안한데
이런 내가 무슨 말을
어떻게 해야 할까
숨 조차 쉴 수 없을 만큼 어지러워
놓쳐버린 시간 속을
서둘러 헤매어 봐도
이제 와 할 수 있는 건
없다는 것을
돌아서는 너를 보며
사랑이 걷혀가던 시간이
이제야 내게도 보이고 있지만
이별이란 순간처럼
오는 거라 생각했지
내게 이렇게 스며들고
있었다는 걸 몰랐었어

내게서 언제부터 지친 걸까
When did you start getting tired of me?
난 네게 무엇을 힘들게 한 걸까
What did I do to make it hard for you?
더 이상 아무런 말도
더 하지 않는 너에게
To you, who no longer says anything
And just stays quiet
이제는 물을 수도 없는
내가 되버린 걸
I have become someone who can't do anything
And can't even stop you
흔한 투정도 한 번 없이
그저 넌 착한 미소로 웃어주는
Without even a common argument,
you just smile at me with kindness
그 눈에 스치는 슬픔 놓쳐버린 건
무심했던 미련함인 걸
The sadness that passes through those eyes
Is the remnants of my indifference
미안해 my love
I'm sorry my love
돌아서는 너를 보며
사랑이 걷혀가던 시간이
이제야 내게도 보이고 있지만
이별이란 순간처럼
오는 거라 생각했지
Looking at you who are turning away,
I can finally see the time when love was fading away
But I thought it was like a moment of separation
내게 이렇게 스며들고
있었다는 걸 몰랐었어
I didn't know that it had seeped into me
like this
다시 되돌릴 수 있다면
아니 한 번만 다시 웃어준다면
If only I could turn it back
Or if you could just smile at me again
혼자서 지친
니 맘을 안지 못한 건
어리석은 자존심인 걸
Not understanding your tired heart alone
Is just foolish pride
차가워진 너를 보며
이별이 번져가는 순간을
이제는 어쩔 수 없음을 난 알지만
Looking at you who have become cold
And the moment of separation spreading,
I know that it's inevitable now
사랑이란 이름으로
서서히 물들 때처럼
내게 사랑이 떠나가고
있었다는 걸 몰랐었어
Without knowing that love was leaving me slowly
Like it was coloring me,
With the name of love
미안하다는 말 조차도
이렇게나 미안한데
이런 내가 무슨 말을
어떻게 해야 할까
Even the words 'I'm sorry'
Are so sorry,
What words should I use
When I'm like this and can't do anything?
숨 조차 쉴 수 없을 만큼 어지러워
놓쳐버린 시간 속을
서둘러 헤매어 봐도
이제 와 할 수 있는 건
없다는 것을
I'm so dizzy that I can't even breathe
Even if I wander around the lost time
As fast as I can, there is nothing I can do
Now it's too late

Kangin has one of the best voices in K pop ❤
@rachelallen9547
Donghae’s part at 3:22 will never fail to give me chills. His voice sounds so different than it usually does. And Kyu’s immediately following, too
@messymusemusic
same. this is the first song i cried to and that was the part that made me shed tears
@diymyeolchi9751

I can't believe that I heard this live during SS8. Especially Donghae's part. 😭 It feels like someone is pinching my heart. 😭
@sherlockholmes8289

SJ vocal line are superior to many for many things:
1. Each member's vocals have character. They just don't have good voices or good vocal technique. They always reminds you of something. For example, changmin once described kyu's voice as like caramel macchiato.
2. They don't or rarely overpower each other. If look at other groups vocals especially on parts where they sing together, there's often that members that just stands out, but with the case of KRY, idk how they do it, but they just blend perfectly well when they sing together. No one is standing out or what, their harmonisation is perfectly blended together. For cases where Ryeowook stands out, it's for songs that has a higher pitch. In KRY, only ryeowook has a high voice tone while kyu and yeye have deeper voice tone.
3. Compared to other vocal lines, SJ vocal line have more deeper tones (except ryeowook) compared to other groups whose vocals have usually higher tones. And well, kpop, especially nowadays, the higher the tone, the better. That's why it's a bit rare especially now to see a vocal with a deep voice.
4. SJ vocal lines aren't really into that "high tone you'll always remember". They always emphasize their harmonization, that's why even the high tone adlibs aren't that noticeable because it's like if you visualize it, the part where everyone is singing together is at front whereas the solo high tone adlibs are the back.
5. They sing with full emotions. While others sing while focusing on sounding good, kry sings while focusing in delivering the right emotion.
6. Each members' voices are unique. That's why in masked singer, their masks are useless because just on the first word, you'll already know it's them. Many idols, although great vocalists, have a common voice. KRY voices are very unique, very distinguishable, same case also for Donghae.
7. Tbh, all SJ members are good vocalist. The only problem about others not being in the vocal line is that KRY is too powerful. Even vocal line of other groups cannot beat them. So for SJ members to be in the vocal line they have to either beat KRY or be at par with them.

I love Donghae's part 3:22... The deepest part...
