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.

Super Junior Lyrics

사랑할 땐 사랑이 보이지 않았네
하지만 이제 뒤돌아보니
우린 젊고 서로 사랑을 했구나
눈물 같은 시간의 강 위에
떠내려가는 건 한 다발의 추억
그렇게 이제 뒤돌아보니
언젠가는 우리 다시 만나리
어디로 가는지 아무도 모르지만
언젠가는 우리 다시 만나리
헤어진 모습 이대로
젊은 날엔 젊음을 잊었고
사랑할 땐 사랑이 흔해만 보였네
하지만 이제 생각해 보니
우린 젊고 서로 사랑을 했구나
언젠가는 우리 다시 만나리
어디로 가는지 아무도 모르지만
언젠가는 우리 다시 만나리
헤어진 모습 이대로
언젠간 우리 만나리
언젠간 우리 다시 만나리
이대로 이대로 ooh
언젠가는 우리 다시 만나리 (만나리)
어디로 (어디로) 가는지 아무도 모르지만
언젠가는 우리 다시 만나리
헤어진 모습 이대로
The lyrics of Super Junior's song "언젠가는" ("Someday") reflect on a past love and the passage of time. The opening lines suggest that in their youth, they didn't fully appreciate their youth or love. Looking back now, they realize how precious those times were. The metaphor of tears falling like a river of time is used to represent the memories that float away on the current. But despite the passage of time and their separation, they hold on to the hope that they will see each other again someday, even if they don't know where they are headed.
The chorus repeats the idea of one day meeting again, emphasizing that they will meet in the same state they parted. The second verse revisits their past, implying that they previously took for granted their youth and love. With hindsight, they now recognize the value of their relationship. The bridge provides a repetition and variation of the chorus and also includes a new line at the end. They say that they will meet someday, right now and in their current state.
These lyrics tell a universal story of a past love and the nostalgia that comes with the passage of time. The song expresses a hope that they will reconcile in the future, but it is also a lamentation for what was lost. Through their words, Super Junior acknowledges that youth and love are fleeting, but they remain a vital part of the human experience.
