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.
거울
Super Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
거울 앞에 내 모습을
바라보게 되죠
어떤 모습도
세상 슬픔 다 가진 표정까지
지어보며 생각하게 되죠
너는 조금도 잠시도
지치지도 않았는 지
거울처럼 그 사람도
내가 사랑 준 만큼만
따라오면 안 되는 지
가슴아 너무 미안해
너도 사랑 받고 싶어하는데
못난 난 아픔만 줘서
가슴아 너무 미안해
항상 그대와 같이 하고픈데
이별만 나와 함께 하고
메아리처럼 한 두 발짝
뒤에만 서 있죠
사랑한다고 수천 번을 말해도
잊어 달란 그 한 마디에
이별을 하죠
나쁘다고 지운다고
그댈 원망을 해봐도 그럴 때면
내 가슴은 더 혼을 내죠
그러지 말라고
언젠간 내게 돌아온다며
어리석은 기댈 하죠
가슴아 너무 미안해
너도 사랑 받고 싶어하는데
못난 난 아픔만 줘서
가슴아 너무 미안해
항상 그대와 같이 하고픈데
이별만 나와 함께 하고
메아리처럼 한 두 발짝
뒤에만 서 있죠
거울에 비친 내 모습 바라보며
어느샌가 너와 닮아 가는 내 모습
너와 다른 게 하나도 없어
내 눈엔
너 하나 내 마음 너 하나 비춰
어쩌죠 이젠 정말 끝이죠
그토록 울고 불고 매달려도
아무런 기대 마저도 이제는 없죠
웃을 수 있을 거라 믿어
가슴에 눈물이 흘러
시간이 흘러가도
상처만 더할 뿐이죠
가슴아 너무 미안해
너도 다른 사랑을 하게 되면
아픔을 잊고 살 텐데
가슴아 너무 미안해
사랑은 영원을 말 하고픈데
현실은 이별을 말하죠
못난 난 미련이라 해도
그리워 하겠죠
The lyrics of Super Junior's song 거울 (Mirror) touch upon the themes of heartbreak, self-reflection, and the pain of seeing a loved one move on. The lyrics are emotional and introspective, as the singer contemplates his own reflection in the mirror and realizes the similarities between himself and his former lover. The song starts with the singer leading his hurting heart in front of the mirror – a symbolic representation of self-reflection – and noticing how he is gradually morphing into the person he no longer wants to be. The lyrics express regret and guilt over not being able to keep his lover from leaving, with the singer acknowledging that the pain he's causing his heart is something he intends to rectify in the future.
The lyrics are full of raw emotion and showcase the deep emotional turmoil that comes with a breakup. The singer expresses his remorseful feelings towards his heart that has taken so much pain and the sense of loneliness that comes with being left behind. He acknowledges that while he wants to move on, the memories of his past relationship continue to haunt him, and he's uncertain if he could love anyone as deeply as he loved his ex-lover. The song's powerful and emotive lyrics are elevated by the soulful performance of the band, as they seamlessly convey the messages encapsulated in the lyrics.

오늘도 역시 아픈 가슴 이끌고
Today, as usual, with a painful heart leading the way
거울 앞에 내 모습을
I find myself looking at my reflection in the mirror
바라보게 되죠
unconsciously
어떤 모습도
No matter what appearance
세상 슬픔 다 가진 표정까지
Even an expression that holds all the sadness of the world
지어보며 생각하게 되죠
I start to think while making that expression
너는 조금도 잠시도
Not for a moment
지치지도 않았는 지
Did you not get tired?
내 모든 걸 놓치지 않고 따라하죠
You followed me without missing anything
거울처럼 그 사람도
Like the mirror, that person
내가 사랑 준 만큼만
Should follow me only as much as I loved
따라오면 안 되는 지
Should not follow me any more than that
가슴아 너무 미안해
Heart, I am so sorry
너도 사랑 받고 싶어하는데
You also want to be loved
못난 난 아픔만 줘서
But I only give you pain, which is ugly of me
항상 그대와 같이 하고픈데
I always want to be with you
이별만 나와 함께 하고
But we only have partings together
메아리처럼 한 두 발짝
Like an echo, just one or two steps behind
뒤에만 서 있죠
I am always standing behind
사랑한다고 수천 번을 말해도
Even if I say 'I love you' a thousand times
잊어 달란 그 한 마디에
At that one word asking me to forget, I let go
이별을 하죠
We break up
나쁘다고 지운다고
Even if I erase, saying it's bad
그댈 원망을 해봐도 그럴 때면
Even if I resent you, sometimes
내 가슴은 더 혼을 내죠
My heart gets more confused
그러지 말라고
Don't do that
언젠간 내게 돌아온다며
Saying that you will come back to me someday
어리석은 기댈 하죠
I foolishly wait for you
거울에 비친 내 모습 바라보며
Looking at my reflection in the mirror
어느샌가 너와 닮아 가는 내 모습
My reflection is becoming more like you
너와 다른 게 하나도 없어
There is nothing different between you and me
내 눈엔
In my eyes
너 하나 내 마음 너 하나 비춰
Only you, shining in my heart
어쩌죠 이젠 정말 끝이죠
What do we do, it really is the end now
그토록 울고 불고 매달려도
Even if I cry, shout and cling onto you
아무런 기대 마저도 이제는 없죠
I don't have any more expectations now
웃을 수 있을 거라 믿어
I believe I can smile
가슴에 눈물이 흘러
Tears flow down my heart
시간이 흘러가도
Even as time passes
상처만 더할 뿐이죠
The wounds just keep adding up
너도 다른 사랑을 하게 되면
If you fall in love with someone else
아픔을 잊고 살 텐데
You will live forgetting the pain
사랑은 영원을 말 하고픈데
Love wants to say it's forever
현실은 이별을 말하죠
But reality tells us goodbye
못난 난 미련이라 해도
Even if I am foolishly sentimental
그리워 하겠죠
I will miss you
