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 ↴
Oh love revolution
나의 고백
아침에 눈떴을 때
보고싶은 얼굴도
나의 깊은 잠을
깨워버린 사랑도
그녀 앞에만 서면
어떤 말도 할 수 없게
숨이 막혀오잖아
너의 머릿결 너의 손가락
미소를 짓는 입술 끝까지
누구와도 바꿀 수 없는
그녀만의 색깔에 난 빠져버렸어
네 스타일도 그 눈빛도
독특한 네 말투까지도
내 인생을 바꿀 수가
있을만큼 충분했어
지금 너를 향해 가고있어
이젠 아무것도 나의 길을
막을 수가 없는것도
그녀만의 한 남자가 되던가
아니 그녀 맘을 내가 훔쳐버릴까
입안에서 맴맴돌아 내 고백
미칠것만 같은 내 심정을
You know
아무도 알지못해
타는듯한 내 목마름도
너의 시선도 네 입맛도
네가 즐겨듣는 노래까지도
너의 곁에 있는 모든건
나의 관심의 초점이 되고 마는걸
너의 단점도 네 아픔도
이젠 내 것이 되버렸어
네 슬픔을 함께 할 수
있는 걸로 행복했어
난 참 어리석은 놈인걸
너를 향한 어떤 마음도
말할 수 있는 용기가 없어
난 자유로워지고 싶어
네 앞에 다가설 수 있는
날만 기다려
네 얼굴을 바라보네 yeah uh
네 작은 어깰 감싸버렸네 yeah
디딜 땅 덩어리조차 설곳없네
서서히 타들어가는
입술이 느껴지네 우리 서로
어떤 표현도 yeah
더 이상의 어떤 말들로 uh
희뿌연 안개들로
뒤덮힌 깰 수 없던
그건 꿈이었어 꿈이었어
난 잘 모르지만 사랑을
말하는건 멋진 선물로
내 자신을 선택하는거야
내 꿈을 나눠줄수 있는
소중한 사람이 네가 되주길
In my love
Baby 내버려둬
내가 사랑하는 길을
네게 모두 보여줄수 있게
가슴이 아파 내 몸이 말라
나 목이 말라 내 물을 달라
더 이상은 내 가슴안에 묻어버린
인연으로 끝낼 수가 없어
가슴이 아파 내 몸이 말라
나 목이 말라 내 물을 달라
너의 머릿결 네 손가락
미소를 짓는 입술 끝까지
누구와도 바꿀 수 없는
그녀만의 색깔에 난 빠져버렸어
네 스타일도 그 눈빛도
독특한 내 말투까지도
내 인생을 바꿀수가
있을만큼 충분했던
Uh what
Come on yeah
What you wanna do
What you gonna do
Right here

The lyrics of Super Junior's song 갈증 ("Thirst") is about the singer's declaration of love towards someone he has feelings for. The song speaks of his intense longing to be with the person he loves, even to the point of being unable to speak when in her presence because of his overwhelming feelings. The song also expresses how much he admires every aspect of her being, from her personality, style, and even her voice. Despite admitting that confessing his feelings is an act of bravery he does not possess, he still hopes to confess his love to her and become the only man in her life, or alternatively, steal her heart away.
The song is heavily influenced by R&B genres with a slower tempo and smooth vocals, emphasizing the emotions and intense longing of the singer towards his love interest. 갈증 became a popular song for its relatable lyrics and beautiful melody, receiving recognition from music critics and K-pop fans alike. It is one of Super Junior's most popular ballads, with its music video reaching over 2 million YouTube views shortly after its release in 2010.
