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.
돈 돈!
Super Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Let's find down, S-Tay two, let's get (come on)
이대로 끝이면 기회가 없다면
모두가 틀렸다고 말하고 있어
코메디 같은 세상에
웃지 못 할 사람들 넌더리가 나
Don't don 모든 게 돈 세상
제발 주위를 돌아 봐
절망의 눈 빛이 보이잖아 (stop bangin' my head)
My eyes gone red
점점 멀어지는 걸
그대로 충분한 세상
이미 가진 걸로 다 기쁜 세상
꿈꾸던 사람들이 하나 둘 씩 떠나버려도
변하지 않네
The world is mine
내가 이 세계의 법이야
그들이 행복하기만을 기다렸을 때
어느 누구보다 먼저 기회를 잡은 것일 뿐
약자를 위한 배려 따윈 절대 없어
나의 불꽃을 다 태워서라도
포기할 수 없어
저 들의 것이 아닌
우리 아이들의 세상을 위해서라면
그래도 너무 원망 하지마
내가 아냐 세상이 널 그렇게 만든거야
내가 원했던 건 나는 모두 가져
세상이 나를 외면 하여도
눈과 귀를 막고
어지럽게 만들어 버릴
적당한 머리와 돈이 조금 필요할 뿐
나의 불꽃을 다 태워서라도
지켜주고 싶어
혼돈의 시대 끝에 살아가야 할
내 아이를 위해서라면
Don't don 모든 게 돈 세상
원 안에 갇힌 너 what is your mind (you outta control what is your mind)
제발 주위를 돌아 봐
절망의 눈 빛이 보이잖아 (stop bangin' my head)
My eyes gone red
Don't don't 이젠 그만 좀 해
위선의 가면도 벗어버려
벗어버려 니 가식의 가면도
모두 기다리고 있어
마지막 바램도 버리지마
던져버려 니 그 가식의 가면도
Super junior!
The lyrics to Super Junior's "Don Don" speaks of the negative effects of the obsession with money and the superficiality of society. The opening lines talk about the lack of opportunity if one does not succeed in life, with people being quick to criticize and judge those who do not attain success. The world is described as a comedy, with many people unable to laugh due to their struggles and difficulties. The lyrics urge the listener to take a step back and look around, to see the despair in people's eyes and not be blinded by the greed for wealth.
The chorus emphasizes the message of the song, with the repetition of "Don't Don," which can be translated as "Stop." The focus shifts to the idea that everything in the world is about money, with people trapped in a cycle of wanting more and more. The lyrics emphasize the need to break free from this cycle and ask what is in the mind of those who are obsessed with money.
The latter half of the song speaks about standing up for what one believes in, even if it means sacrificing oneself. The lyrics mention that the world is not just for the strong but also for the weak, and the need to stand up for those who are marginalized. The song ends with a call to action, to throw away the masks of hypocrisy and selfishness and fight for a better world.
