Originally with 13 members, Hangeng, Kibum and Kangin left the group eventually.

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.

공존
Super Junior Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

마주한 눈망울 아래로
흐르는 별
아련한 달빛아래 놓인
슬픈 두 그림자
그날 우린 과연 무얼 위해
그리 멀어져 간 것일까
이기심과 자존심이 엉켜
애써 외면한 건 아닐까

결국 너와 난
운명이라는 것을
긴 여행을 마치고
집으로 향하는 길처럼
무서운 꿈을 깨고
엄마를 찾는 아이처럼
난 너에게 되돌아간다
난 너를 향해 달려간다
바람에 맘을 실어
다시 널 부른다
폭풍 같은 사랑에
때론 휘청대고 넘어져
위태로운 사랑에
겁이 나도록 힘겨워도
우린 결국 함께여야 해
우린 다시 시작해야 해
다시는 너 혼자서
외로워 않도록
내가 지켜줄게
그 날의 그 자리 그 길에
멈춰있어
심연에 잠긴 어둠 속에
얼어붙은 채로
단 한번의 바래진 장면도
기억에서 떼내질 못해
단 한줌의 초라한 추억도
도려내어 버리지 못해
단 한 순간도
잊어본 적 없기에
긴 여행을 마치고
집으로 향하는 길처럼
무서운 꿈을 깨고
엄마를 찾는 아이처럼
난 너에게 되돌아간다
난 너를 향해 달려간다
바람에 맘을 실어
다시 널 부른다
폭풍 같은 사랑에
때론 휘청대고 넘어져
위태로운 사랑에
겁이 나도록 힘겨워도
우린 결국 함께여야 해
우린 다시 시작해야 해
다시는 너 혼자서
슬퍼하지 않게
내가 지켜줄게
언제나 내 삶 속엔
삶의 모든 순간 속에
어디든 네가 있어
내 사랑이여
가려 하지 않아도
나도 모르게 향하는 곳
떠올리지 않아도
어느새 맴도는 그 이름
어느 샌가 맴도는 이름
일상의 그 어디에서도
넌 나의 삶에 늘 공존해
다시는 어리석게

놓지 않을 테니
내 곁에 머물러
