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.

이름 하여 힘쎈돌이 슈퍼맨
Hey SJ like this
Bum bu bum bum bum bum
Bum bu bum bum bum bum
Bum bu bum bum bum bum
Bum bu bum bum bum bum
내가 세상에서 하나밖에 없는
그룹에서 멋지게 춤을 추고
유니크한 읊조림을 할 때
세상 모든 요정들이
내게 반해 반해 내게로 달려와 달려와 달려와
이 순간을 함께 즐겨볼까
진지하게 조용하게
나를 사랑해준 사람들을 나는 감동시켜
괜히 허세부리고 솔직하지 못하고
내게 그런 순간이라고는 없었다
우린 규모도 최고
스케일도 최고
뭐든지 최고가 아니면 안돼
슈퍼주니어는 원래 맨 자만 빠진
이름 하여 힘쎈돌이 슈퍼맨
열정도 최고 정신력도 최고
누가 우릴 감히 끌어낼텐가
슈퍼주니어는 원래 맨 자만 빠진
이름 하여 날쌘돌이 슈퍼맨
Bum bu bum bum bum bum
Bum bu bum bum bum bum
Bum bu bum bum bum bum
Bum bu bum bum bum bum
자 자 자 다음 누구 (신동)
그러게 왜들 그렇게 뒤를 돌아보나 여기 있는데 나
도대체 누구를 찾는 거야 내가 신동
하늘에 별을 따다 줄까
세 봐 한 개 두 개 세 개
우리는 원래 잃어버린 별을 합쳐 별이 열 세 개
그렇지만 나 우린 외롭지 않아
우린 SM famil랑 요정들이 있지 않나
주저하지마 애써 외면하지마
이미 취해버린 그댄 슈퍼홀릭
노랠 불러봐 이젠 춤을 따라 해
같이 신나게 얼씨구 절씨구
우린 규모도 최고
스케일도 최고
뭐든지 최고가 아니면 안돼
슈퍼주니어는 원래 맨 자만 빠진
이름 하여 힘쎈돌이 슈퍼맨
열정도 최고 정신력도 최고
누가 우릴 감히 끌어낼 텐가
슈퍼주니어는 원래 맨 자만 빠진
이름 하여 날쌘돌이 슈퍼맨
맘이 울적할 때 노랠 듣고플 때
기분을 달래줄 뭔가 필요할 때
우리가 곁에 있어
있는 힘껏 외쳐봐
(Super junior, we are super, super man)
되게 심심할 때
인터넷 검색할 때
슈퍼 자만 치면 나와 주르륵 주르륵 주르륵
언제나 곁에 있어 소리 질러 외쳐봐
(Super junior, we are super super man)
거기 아무도 몰라줘도
매일 최선을 다해 간다
누구다 누구다 누구다 해도 기록이 말해준다
함께 걷는 길이 비록 험난할지라도
결국 슈퍼주니어
The last man standing
우린 규모도 최고 스케일도 최고
뭐든지 최고가 아니면 안돼

The lyrics to Super Junior’s “Superman” are all about self-confidence and being true to oneself. The group, who are often known for their playful and high-energy performances, embrace their larger-than-life personas and declare themselves as supermen, with the lyrics boasting about their unique quirks and abilities. The first verse sets the tone with lines like “We’re Super Junior, the ones without any pride, known for our strength like the powerful Superman.” The chorus reinforces these sentiments by stating that they are the best in every way - the biggest scale, the most passion, and the strongest mental fortitude. However, the verses also suggest that the group’s confidence comes from their loyal fans, who they aim to inspire with their music and performances.
The lyrics then shift to a more personal narrative, with each member speaking about their individual strengths and unique qualities. The song highlights the group’s ability to make people happy and feel like they belong, as well as their dedication to their craft and their fans. The bridge suggests that the group is not without their own moments of insecurity and doubt, but they overcome these feelings with their camaraderie and their belief in themselves. The final chorus is a triumphant declaration of their status as supermen, urging their fans to join them and shout out their own confidence.
Overall, the lyrics to “Superman” are a celebration of self-confidence and individuality, as well as a testament to the power of music and community to inspire and uplift people.

그룹에서 멋지게 춤을 추고
Dancing coolly with the group
유니크한 읊조림을 할 때
When doing unique rap
세상 모든 요정들이
All fairies in the world
내게 반해 반해 내게로 달려와 달려와 달려와
Falling in love with me and running to me, running to me, running to me
이 순간을 함께 즐겨볼까
Shall we enjoy this moment together?
진지하게 조용하게
Seriously and quietly
나를 사랑해준 사람들을 나는 감동시켜
I move the people who love me
괜히 허세부리고 솔직하지 못하고
I don't boast for nothing, and I'm not honest
내게 그런 순간이라고는 없었다
There was no such moment for me
우린 규모도 최고
We are the best in size
스케일도 최고
The scale is also the best
뭐든지 최고가 아니면 안돼
Everything has to be the best
열정도 최고 정신력도 최고
Passion and mental strength are also the best
누가 우릴 감히 끌어낼텐가
Who dares to pull us out?
이름 하여 날쌘돌이 슈퍼맨
Named as the fast-running Supermen
자 자 자 다음 누구 (신동)
Now, who's next (Shindong)?
그러게 왜들 그렇게 뒤를 돌아보나 여기 있는데 나
So why do you keep looking back when I'm here?
도대체 누구를 찾는 거야 내가 신동
Who are you really looking for? I'm Shindong.
하늘에 별을 따다 줄까
Should I pick a star from the sky and give it to you?
세 봐 한 개 두 개 세 개
Look, one, two, three stars
우리는 원래 잃어버린 별을 합쳐 별이 열 세 개
We originally combine the lost stars, so now we have thirteen stars
그렇지만 나 우린 외롭지 않아
But we are not lonely
우린 SM famil랑 요정들이 있지 않나
Don't we have SM family and fairies with us?
주저하지마 애써 외면하지마
Don't hesitate and don't ignore me
이미 취해버린 그댄 슈퍼홀릭
You are already a super-holic
노랠 불러봐 이젠 춤을 따라 해
Sing a song and now follow the dance
같이 신나게 얼씨구 절씨구
Let's have fun together with some dancing and bowing
누가 우릴 감히 끌어낼 텐가
Who dares to pull us out?
맘이 울적할 때 노랠 듣고플 때
When your heart is sad and you want to listen to music
기분을 달래줄 뭔가 필요할 때
When you need something to ease your mood
우리가 곁에 있어
We are here with you
있는 힘껏 외쳐봐
Shout out with all your strength
(Super junior, we are super, super man)
(Super junior, we are super, super man)
되게 심심할 때
When you're really bored
인터넷 검색할 때
When you're searching the internet
슈퍼 자만 치면 나와 주르륵 주르륵 주르륵
If you search for 'super self-confidence', results of me will pop up like a merry-go-round
언제나 곁에 있어 소리 질러 외쳐봐
I'm always here, shout out loud
(Super junior, we are super super man)
(Super junior, we are super super man)
거기 아무도 몰라줘도
Even if no one knows you there
매일 최선을 다해 간다
I'll do my best every day
누구다 누구다 누구다 해도 기록이 말해준다
No matter who it is, the record speaks for itself
함께 걷는 길이 비록 험난할지라도
Even if the road we walk together is rough
결국 슈퍼주니어
In the end, Super Junior
The last man standing
Is the last man standing
