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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
谁让你是渺小角色 别无选择
面对着强大的黑暗
除了无奈地呐喊 还能怎么办
Don't Don!生在这个世界
除了被他轻蔑 又该如何
you outta control what is your mind
陷落进肮脏的泥沼
stop bangin' my head. my eyes gone red
我要来挽救世界 我要阻止希望破灭
那些自私的人们 别以为
随波逐流漠不关心就能放任良心的责问
不要太天真
The world is mind
让我为这个世界立法
虽然我也想和大家一起抓住幸福
但这可恶的命运它已经先一步找上我
相信在这个世界绝不会同情懦弱的你
贡献所有力量给孩子希望
冲破一切阻挡
用大家的爱
打败虚幻世界的罪恶安排
请相信未来
千万别怨我 我没有堕落 你别傻啦
是这个世界在摆布你 摆布
我!要!我就是要这样不择手段
就算要背叛整个世界
只要封闭五感 不听不看
把自己迷失在无穷的黑暗
去抛开心碎孤单
贡献所有力量给孩子希望
冲破一切阻挡
用大家的爱
打败虚幻世界的罪恶安排
请相信未来
Don't Don!生在这个世界
除了被他轻蔑 又该如何
you outta control what is your mind
陷落进肮脏的泥沼
根本摆脱不掉 无处可逃
stop bangin' my head. my eyes gone red.
Don't Don!不要继续堕落
戴久了的面具 还不摘去
快摘掉那虚假的面具吧
大家都在等那一天
不要放弃希望 相信未来
永远丢掉你那虚伪的面具吧
The lyrics of Super Junior's song Don't Don are a commentary on the power imbalance and unfairness in society. The opening lines question who established the rules that govern society, where the strong prey on the weak. The song highlights the helplessness and lack of choice felt by those in a lower position, facing the darkness and malevolence of those in power. The chorus emphasizes the feeling of being trapped, with nowhere to go and no way to escape the negativity and hopelessness.
The verses also touch upon the importance of standing up against the selfishness and apathy that allows the dark side of humanity to flourish. The bridge is a rallying cry to contribute all our resources and love to building a better future, even though the singer acknowledges that the world is not sympathetic to the weak. The ending encourages everyone to cast aside their false pretenses and hold onto hope for a brighter tomorrow.
