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.

When I see you my heart skips a beat
My heart races when I lay eyes on you
I'm getting ready to tell you how I feel
I'm preparing myself to reveal my emotions to you
You're a traveler who meets me
You're someone who enters my life temporarily
You're like a sweet candy, I'm afraid to approach you
You're enticing, but I'm hesitant to approach you
My love, you are really beautiful
I find you incredibly attractive and captivating
My heart is trembling and yet cannot stop
My emotions are in turmoil but I can't ignore them
Even today, my heart is a midnight fantasy
My thoughts and feelings about you are like a beautiful dream, even at midnight
I feel like I can get close to you silently
I believe I can gradually get closer to you without making a fuss
When your eyes shine upon me continuously, it feels good
I enjoy it when you look at me with interest, as if I'm special
Again today, my heart is a midnight fantasy
For another night, my dreams are full of you - my beautiful fantasy
Though you may not have realized, I know that you're there, looking at me
Even if you haven't acknowledged me, I sense that you're paying attention to me
It's fine even if it takes me a while to find the courage to approach you
I'm okay with taking it slow with you and building our relationship over time
Yes, I'm going to fall in love
I am ready and willing to fall in love with you
Even if I see you for the first time, in that moment
Even if our encounter is brief, it can make an impact on me
I already love and yearn for you, I say
I confess my love for you and express my longing for you
Even if it tortures me to see you, I still know
Although it can be tough to be around you, I acknowledge the situation for what it is
If you're already busy, then it's okay
If you're preoccupied with something or someone else, I understand
Even if life is harsh, I like hardship, I know that I'm a swan
Despite the difficulties that come with pursuing love, I am willing to persevere and fight for what I want
Yes, I am falling in love
I am falling in love with you
As my love grows stronger
As time passes, my affection for you continues to increase
I may struggle to approach you even if it pains me, but my feelings for you won't change
It might be difficult to build a connection with you, but my love for you won't falter
I want to spend my whole life dreaming of you, now I embrace you
I want to cherish the thought of you forever and finally hold you close to me
