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.
So Cold
Super Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m going crazy right now
넌 벌써 눈물도 흐르기 전에 뒤돌아가
심장도 내 발도 얼어붙어 못 가잖아
차게 식어가, 널 잡지 못한 나
사납게 미쳐가, 네 생각에 난 또
넌 이별을 굳혀가, 아무 말 없었잖아
달빛이 사라져가, 날 미치게 하지마, 자신 없어
I'm so cold, I can′t breathe (I'm so cold)
I'm so cold, I can′t breathe (I′m so cold)
몇 번 말해 너도 알잖아
네가 없이 난 내가 아닌데
I'm so cold, I can′t breathe (I'm so cold)
I′m so cold, I can't breathe (I′m so cold)
두 번 다시 누굴 만나도
사랑을 해도 같을 순 없어
'Cause I'm so cold
′Cause I′m so cold
곁에 있을 때는 몰랐었어, oh, oh
너의 한마디가 너라는 존재가
내게 얼마나 소중했는지도, oh, oh
차갑고 딱딱한 고장 난 내 심장
두 눈을 떠보지만 흐릿한 내 초점
전부 날 버린 듯해, 다 지긋지긋해, 견딜 수 없어
I'm so cold, I can′t breathe (I'm so cold)
I′m so cold, I can't breathe (I′m so cold)
몇 번 말해 너도 알잖아
네가 없이 난 내가 아닌데
I'm so cold, I can't breathe (I′m so cold)
I′m so cold, I can't breathe (I′m so cold)
두 번 다시 누굴 만나도
사랑을 해도 같을 순 없어
'Cause I′m so cold
만약 혹시라도 그녈 본다면 이곳은
네가 없는 이 하늘은 춥다고
날 밀어내지 말라고 말해줘
Yeah, 깨져버린 얼음 꽃 다시 되돌릴 순 없나
Uh, 역시 그때 너를 꼭 붙잡아야 했었나
왜 날 떠나가? Oh, I need you, baby
I'm so cold, I can′t breathe (I'm so cold)
I'm so cold, I can′t breathe (I′m so cold)
몇 번 말해 너도 알잖아
네가 없이 난 내가 아닌데
I'm so cold, I can′t breathe (I'm so cold)
I′m so cold, I can't breathe (I′m so cold)
두 번 다시 누굴 만나도
사랑을 해도 같을 순 없어
'Cause I'm so cold
′Cause I′m so cold
'Cause I′m so cold (yeah)
The lyrics to Super Junior's song "So Cold" express feelings of heartbreak and loneliness. The singer is struggling to move on after a breakup, as his heart and body feel frozen in place. He remembers how much he valued his ex-partner's words and presence, but now he feels like everything around him is bleak and unbearable. He asks if there's any chance at all that they could reconcile, and wonders why they had to break up in the first place. The repeated refrain of "I'm so cold, I can't breathe" underscores the singer's emotional pain and physical discomfort, as he struggles to keep going in the aftermath of his heartbreak.
The language in this song is vivid and striking, conveying the rawness of the singer's feelings. The imagery of his heart and feet freezing up shows just how immobilized he is by his grief, and the repeated phrase "네가 없이 난 내가 아닌데" ("Without you, I'm not myself") speaks to the singer's sense of identity being tied up in his relationship. The use of the moon as a symbol of change and impermanence is also poignant, as the singer wishes that his ex-partner would not make him feel so crazy and lost.
Overall, "So Cold" is an evocative and relatable song about the struggles of moving on from a painful breakup. It speaks to the desperation and confusion of heartbreak, and how even the smallest things can carry immense weight when it comes to matters of the heart.
