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.

내가 어딜 향해 가고 있는지
무얼 위해서 사는 건지
길을 잃은 채 나 혼자 바보처럼
헤매어 온 지난 날
강한 척 괜찮은 척 웃고 있어도
가슴은 언제나 텅 빈 사막
세상도 사람도 믿지 않았었지
깊은 상처 때문에

나는 내 삶의 히어로
다시 한번 일어설거야
보석처럼 빛나는 꿈들이 나를 불러
나는 꿈꾸는 히어로
저 끝까지 달려갈거야
이젠 두렵지 않아
내 곁에 이렇게 니가 있으니까
자신의 가려있을 거짓 속에서
아무도 모르는 나의 상처
그렇게 마음을 닫은 채 살았어
못난 겁쟁이처럼
나는 내 삶의 히어로
다시 한번 일어설거야
보석처럼 빛나는 꿈들이 나를 불러
나는 꿈꾸는 히어로
저 끝까지 달려갈거야
이젠 두렵지 않아
내 곁에 이렇게 니가 있으니까
너의 따스한 마음에
나의 모든 슬픔 녹듯이
내가 너의 아픔 아물게 해줄게
나는 내일의 히어로
다시 한번 힘을 낼거야
햇살처럼 눈부신 희망이 나를 비춰
나는 꿈꾸는 히어로
험한 세상 이겨낼거야

그래 할 수 있는걸 언제나 이렇게
너와 함께라면

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Super Junior's song "Dreaming Hero" talk about the journey of self-discovery and finding one's purpose in life. The singer questions where they are heading and what they are living for. Feeling lost and alone, they have wandered through life like a fool. They put on a strong and happy facade, but their heart feels empty like a desert. They have lost faith in the world and in people due to deep wounds.

However, despite the pain, the singer realizes that they are the hero of their own life. They will rise up again and chase after their shining dreams, which call out to them like jewels. They are a dreaming hero who will run until the end, no longer afraid because they have someone by their side. They have lived in a false facade, hiding their true self and their unknown wounds. They have lived like a coward, but now they are ready to stand up again and be the hero of their life. They are determined to overcome the obstacles and run towards their dreams, strengthened by the warmth of someone's heart.
