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.

I'm an ordinary man
Just an ordinary man
뜨거운 무대 수 많은 조명
지치지 않는 내 심장 소리
리듬이 시작되면
모두가 날 사랑하게 되지
하지만 내겐 한 순간의 꿈
특별함 속에 살고 있지만

무대 뒤에 서면 난
변함 없는 평범한 남자인 걸
하얀 건반 위에 올라
날 비추는 조명에
사랑의 노랠 부를 땐
니가 있어 빛이 나
I'm an ordinary man
더 날 믿어줘
무대 위의 모습은 전부가 아냐
Just an ordinary man
수 많은 사람
내 곁에 있어도 너 하나만 보여
화려한 음악 함성 소리에
내 모습 잃어가고 있을 때
평범하지 않던 내 삶 속에
그대 내 안에 들어와
내가 살아가는 동안
너를 만날 줄이야
세상에서 가장 멋진
너의 남자이고 싶어
I'm an ordinary man
더 날 믿어줘
지금 이 순간만을 지켜가려 해
Just an ordinary man
날 바라보는 그대만 있다면
웃을 수 있는 걸
노랠 부르고 춤 출 수 있는 건
항상 날 바라보며
내 이름을 부르는
내겐 아주 특별한 그대가 있기에
I'm an ordinary man
더 날 믿어줘
무대 위의 모습은 전부가 아냐
Just an ordinary man
수 많은 사람
내 곁에 있어도 너 하나만 보여
I'm an ordinary man
더 날 믿어줘
지금 이 순간만을 지켜가려 해
Just an ordinary man

날 바라보는 그대만 있다면
I'm an ordinary man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Super Junior's "I Am" speak of a man who is feeling the consequences of his decisions and actions. He confesses to drinking alcohol outside the convenience store and losing his sense of time and self-awareness. He also realizes that he is missing something, and it is not only the watch he lost. He is missing the touch of someone special, and the comfort that it brings. He remembers how he used to take the same route every day but is shocked to discover that everything reminds him of that person. He wants to go back to the way things were, and he will do anything to find that love again.

The lyrics portray a person who has lost his way and is searching for meaning amidst his mistakes. The search for love and the yearning for someone who has left have been expressed poetically. The song speaks to anyone who has been in love and who has felt the pain of losing it. It is a deep and meaningful song that shows that even though we make mistakes, we can always try to fix them and regain what was lost.

It feels like my voice and my heart are able to reach you.

제발 닫힌 이 문 좀 열어봐 내게 돌아와
Please open this closed door and come back to me.
