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 H consists of every member of T except for Heechul, who is replaced by Yesung.
Super Junior D&E consists of Donghae and Eunhyuk.
환절기
Super Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
온도가 변했어
이렇게 나는 어느새 계절의 경계에 섰고 oh
내딛는 걸음 내 발에 밟히는 도시의 거리엔
우리의 추억이 마치 화석처럼
굳어져 나를 자꾸 괴롭혀 오늘도
나 사실 너의 바램처럼 지내지 못해
현재 내 생활에 아무것도 만족할 수 없어
널 미워하려고 노력도 했어 oh
쉴새 없이 바쁜 하루 그 틈 속에서
잔상이 되어 불어오는 네 향기를 맡을 때면
널 사랑해 널 사랑해
널 안고 말하고 싶어 단 하루라 해도
감기에 걸린 것 같은 환절기라
어쩔 수 없나 봐 점점 열이 나
몇 번이나 약을 먹어도
몸살이 나 망가져 버린 나
겨우 잠이 들어
매일 같은 꿈을 꿔
가위 눌린 듯이 이내 식은 땀 흘려
손을 뻗어봐도 잡을 수가 없는 너
깨고 싶지 않아 너와 악몽 속에서
떨린 내 손이 너에게
처음 닿았던 그 오후
햇살아래 숨어 웃던
너의 얼굴이 자꾸 떠올라
난 괴로워 오늘도
나 사실 너의 바램처럼 지내지 못해
현재 내 생활에 아무것도 만족할 수 없어
수백 번 또 수만 번
널 미워하려고 노력도 했어 oh
쉴새 없이 바쁜 하루 그 틈 속에서
잔상이 되어 불어오는 네 향기를 맡을 때면
널 사랑해 널 사랑해
널 안고 말하고 싶어
시간은 분명히 저주를 품고
잔인하게 계속 날 헤매게 해
내가 미래라 믿어왔던 것들
모든 게 과거 속에 있는걸요 hoo hoo hoo hoo
벅차게 토해냈던 나의 고백도
숨막히게 널 껴안았던 지난 수많은 밤들도
널 사랑해 널 사랑해 외치면
다시 돌아올까
내가 사랑했던 너란 신기루
너와 헤어진 뒤로 앓아 힘이 없어
누워버린 이유 따뜻했던 마음이
갑자기 차갑게 식어버려
가슴이 콜록거리잖아 아픔이 낡은 먼지처럼 쌓여있어
청소하려 뒤척여도 정리 안돼 난 더 미쳐
일년 내내 감기 걸린 겨울,
봄이 와야 끝내 잊을 거니 널 (ah ah)

귓가를 스친 바람의
The temperature changed with the wind that brushed past my ear
온도가 변했어
and suddenly, I found myself standing at the boundary of the season
이렇게 나는 어느새 계절의 경계에 섰고 oh
As I take steps along the city streets where our memories have become like fossils, the agony of not being able to live as your wish, still haunts me
내딛는 걸음 내 발에 밟히는 도시의 거리엔
I cannot be satisfied with anything in my present life
우리의 추억이 마치 화석처럼
I tried to hate you a hundred and a thousand times but in moments nestled between busy days, your fragrance comes to me like a shadow
굳어져 나를 자꾸 괴롭혀 오늘도
I feel feverish and sick like I have caught a cold in this seasonal transition that I can't help but suffer through
나 사실 너의 바램처럼 지내지 못해
Even though I have tried medicine several times, my body hurts and falls apart
현재 내 생활에 아무것도 만족할 수 없어
With trembling hands, I once reached out to you on the afternoon we first met and it is a memory that haunts me. I am in misery again today.
수백 번 또 수만 번
I can't seem to let go of your love, even if it's for a day
널 미워하려고 노력도 했어 oh
Time seems to be cruel and keeps me wandering with no direction, rendering all my once believed future choices in the past
쉴새 없이 바쁜 하루 그 틈 속에서
Despite everything, if I scream out loud that I love you, maybe you might come back
잔상이 되어 불어오는 네 향기를 맡을 때면
After all, you were just an illusion of who I had thought you to be and now I am weak and lying on my back. My heart was warm but now it's gone cold, and I am left feeling like a mess, hopeless and alone.
널 사랑해 널 사랑해
The winter lingers on for the entire year like a never-ending flu, but when spring finally comes, I know I will forget you
널 안고 말하고 싶어 단 하루라 해도
