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.

Super Junior Lyrics

[LT] Gureum sairo jeo ssodajineun haessalboda bitnaneun miso uhuhuhu
[EH] Sonkkoba aetage gidaryeo wasseo what
These lyrics are from the song "NOW" by Super Junior. The song talks about the feeling of being in the present moment and capturing the beauty of it all. The first line talks about the shimmering sparks that dance in front of them, which are likely referring to fireworks. Then, the lyrics describe the mesmerizing gaze of the person they're with, whose eyes shine brighter than the fireworks. The second line compares the brightness of the person's smile to the brilliance of the sunshine. The last line expresses the desire to hold the person's hand and wait for what is to come.
The lyrics speak to the beauty of living in the moment and cherishing the little things. The use of imagery helps to transport the listener to the situation the song is describing, allowing them to feel the same emotions that the artist is expressing. The song encourages listeners to appreciate every moment of their lives and to find joy in even the smallest of things.

I used to be a huge fan of super junior. Now my passion kind of died off but i still remember listening to their songs.
Hangeng was mistreated by the company.i feel bad for him for having to endurr all this. Hr was the first foreign idol debuted in korea. The pressure, discrimination based on his nationalty must be HUGEee
Kangin had multiple DUIs. Honestly he may have problem with alcohol and its not suprising that he is not promoting. I know people who literally went to jail for DUIs. But if he stopped promoting for so many years i feel like its eniugh to change him as a person and learn from his mistakes.
Sungmins case is so dumb. People are getting mad at him for getting MARRIED?! you know ALL of them are in their THIRTIES right?!?! Their youngest member, Henry is 29...they gonna be single old men on tinder or maybe grindr and bachelor looking for dates when they retire cuz their fans dont let them date...
Kibum was under a dungeon for a longg time sometimes gets acting gig. Zhoumi is in a dungeon. Not so suprised because he said some stupid shit like "its happy seeing an earth quake".. But i feel like if he apologized and reflect on his words he should given a chance of beinf a better person.
Henry 's contract expired.i am proud of him though. He has a stable fan base and is a mentor in music shows now. He came from having people hate him fot just in the sub unit to a stable fan base who stan him for his music. He came a long way.

I can't believe korean fans!! To get married isn't a crime!! Korean fans need to understand that their idols are human ! They should support them instead!
I really miss my super junior...
ELF are always waiting for sungmin and kangin 💙
I hope I can see them all together in 2019💙
Hi
Actually I’ve seen some other elfs comments and they said they dont like him not because he got married but he got married even though leeteuk has depression at that time. Also, they are having their comeback and he has skipped some rehearsals too
But maybe they should forgive him ?

@danKarkaroff some k-exols are not that supportive of chen though they even rallied outside of sm and burn his cd infront of the building. I just wish that idols could freely date and love, those so called fans need to stop hallucinating that idols are theirs.
danKarkaroff
Well, it happens again with EXO Chen. Thankfully, the fans are supportive.
