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.

달콤한 네 그 말
날 죽이는 네 그 말
가만히 깨물면 쓰디쓴 그 말 그만해

미워하지 못해 사랑하지도 못해
결국 도망쳐버린단 그 말
제발 그만 그만해

삼킬 수 없었던 말
그 토록 뜨겁고 독했던 네 그 말
그 잔인한 입술
남은 내 미련마저 차갑게 자르고 가니
온 가슴 얼어붙은
내 곁엔 사라지는 것 들 뿐이야
차라리 우리 처음부터
아무 것도 아니었다면

달콤한 네 그 말
날 웃게 했던 그 말
가만히 깨물면 쓰디쓴 그 말 그만해

미워하지 못해 사랑하지도 못해
지나면 다 잊을 거란 그 말
제발 그만 그만해

삼킬 수 없었던 말
그토록 뜨겁고 독했던 네 그 말
그 잔인한 입술
남은 내 미련마저 차갑게 자르고 가니
온 가슴 얼어붙은
내 곁엔 사라지는 것들뿐이야
차라리 우리 처음부터
아무 것도 아니었길

돌아가, 네가 있던 자리로
네가 날 모르던 더 옛날로
다시는 이런 사랑 하지말자

삼킬 수 없었던 말
그토록 뜨겁고 독했던 네 그 말
그 잔인한 입술
남은 내 미련마저 차갑게 자르고 가니
온 가슴 얼어붙은
내 곁엔 사라지는 것 들 뿐이야

차라리 우리 처음부터
아무것도 아니었다면

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Super Junior's song "달콤씁쓸" (Bittersweet) depict a love that is both sweet and painful. The first verse talks about how the sweet words of the person are killing the singer, but if they think about it, those words also have a bitter taste. The singer cannot hate or love the person, and eventually runs away from their words. They plead for the person to stop.

The second verse describes the words that the singer couldn't bear to hear. The person's words were so hot and toxic, and their cruel lips cut the remaining attachment the singer had. The singer's heart freezes, and all that remains by their side are disappearing things. They regretfully wonder if it would have been better if they were nothing from the beginning.

The chorus repeats the idea that the person's words were both sweet and bitter. The singer couldn't hate or love, and the person believes the singer will eventually forget everything. The plea for the person to stop is repeated.

In the bridge, the singer asks the person to go back to where they were and to the past when they didn't know each other. They suggest not indulging in this kind of love anymore.

The repetition of the second verse and chorus emphasizes the bitter and painful nature of the person's words and the fact that everything around the singer is disappearing. Ultimately, they regret that maybe it would have been better if their relationship didn't exist at all.
