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.

함께 아파했잖아
서로의 일인 줄도 모르고
넌 어디 있는 거니
나의 목소리 들리질 않니
아픈 내 심장이 너를 찾는다
너를 부른다 미치도록
가슴이 눈물이 또 너의 기억이
한 방울 한 방울
또 내 가슴에 흘러 내린다
울어도 울어도
지워지지 않는 기억을 따라
오늘도 빈 내 가슴을 또 적신다
좋아했잖아
작은 내 미소에 웃어줬잖아
함께 울었었잖아 (울었었잖아)
나의 눈물에 아파했잖아
지금 어디 있는 거니
지친 내 모습이 보이질 않니
아픈 내 심장이 너를 찾는다
너를 부른다 미치도록 woo
가슴이 (가슴이) 눈물이 또 너의 기억이 (기억이 yeah)
한 방울 한 방울
또 내 가슴에 흘러 내린다
울어도 울어도
지워지지 않는 기억을 따라
오늘도 빈 내 가슴을 또 적신다
내게로 돌아와줄래
매일 네 이름 부르며
지친 기다림 속에 (기다림 속에)
너를 찾아 헤매는 나잖아
사랑이 눈물이 너와의 추억이
한 방울 한 방울 (oh oh)
또 내 가슴에 흘러 내린다 (흘러 내린다)
울어도 울어도
지워지지 않는 기억을 따라
오늘도 빈 내 가슴을 또 적신다
The lyrics to Super Junior's song "Memories" express the pain and longing of a past relationship. The singer reminisces about the days they spent together and how they both experienced heartache without realizing the impact they had on each other's lives. The singer wonders where the former lover is now and if they can hear their voice calling out. They describe the pain in their heart as they desperately search for their lost love. The tears, memories, and emotions continue to flow, leaving the singer with a hollow feeling in their chest. They remember the times when they used to smile and cry together, acknowledging the power their tears had over each other. The chorus repeats the theme of the uncontrollable flood of emotions, the unerasable memories that follow, and the constant reawakening of the singer's empty heart. The song ends with a plea for their lost love to return, promising to call their name every day and expressing the fatigue and longing they experience while waiting.
